Atacama and Chilé


At Loft & Glamp, luxury takes the form of the essential: reconnecting with the earth, listening to its rhythms and creating alongside the landscape


In a country of contrasts, from the driest desert to the gateway of Pata- gonia, both destinations share the same essence: inhabiting nature with purpose. T e designs engage in a dialogue


with the environment; the spaces open up to the silence, the sky, the rain and the sea. Bioconstruction and permaculture integrate natural and reused materials, elevating sustaina- bility to an art form. Both destinations specialise in of-


fering complete experiences with tai- lor-made programmes, complement- ed by delicious local cuisine. Upon your return, showers, cosy beds and a restaurant-bar await so you can con- tinue enjoying the experience. Loft & Glamp also hosts weddings,


corporate events, study trips, school outings and more. More than a trip, Loft & Glamp is a


state of fulfi llment that springs from the heart of each destination.
