Posted on December 17, 2025 · Stephanie Chen, Alissa Ponchione, and Caitlin St John
Tierra Atacama, Chile
Keys: 28
Design: Carolina Delpiano and Alexandra Edwards
Why we love it: After a $20 million transformation, the revitalized resort from Baillie Lodges reopened in April elevating its desert oasis setting with expanded suites, Calama travertine, and handcrafted works by more than 40 local artists. The redesign deepens its dialogue with Atacama’s culture, creating a richer, more immersive sense of place.
