HOTEL BUILT FROM THE BLOCKS OF SALT MINED
You may have visited ice hotels in Sweden or tree top canopy suites in remote rainforests. But has anything prepared you for Bolivia’s salt hotel?
The Luna Salada – the Salt Moon – Hotel is one of the most extraordinary ideas in the hotel world. It doesn’t just command a panoramic view over the glittering Salt Flats of Uyuni – it is itself actually built from the blocks of salt mined from its surroundings.
Standing close to the edge of the Flats, just 30 km from the interesting village of Uyuni, the low buildings have white walls – as you might expect, they’re constructed of blocks of salt – topped with rustic thatched roofs. But the big surprise awaits; step inside and you’ll discover floors, tables, chairs, even the king-sized bed in your room is carved from solid salt.
If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, make sure a stay at Luna Salada Hotel is on the itinerary of your tailor-made holiday to Bolivia.
