Because it is situated on the Easter Island in Chile where the extinction of the island’s natives hundreds of years ago serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of deforestation, Explora Rapa Nui takes ecological sustainability very seriously. Explora Rapa Nui’s ecological accomplishments include being the first hotel in South America to attain LEED certification, its on-site recycling center , its on-site water purification program, activated sludge plant, and most importantly, it’s commitment to the native people to work towards green solutions.
With oceanfront views in each of the hotel’s 26 rooms, there’s no such thing as a bad room. Among the hotel’s best features, there are hydromassage baths in every room, free bicycles are available for use and a the restaurant’s menu varies daily.
Best of all, the entry fee to Rapa Nui National Park, which includes the island’s top archaeological treasures, is included in the price.
