Responsible Choice
Top quality accommodation, food, facilities and excursions at the Explora Rapa Nui make it most certainly the best place to stay on Easter Island. Set on a hill that faces the sea, the hotel is in the southwest of the island, 5.6 km (3.5 miles) from the only town, Hanga Roa.
It's a fantastic base to begin exploring this mysterious and intriguing island, where the origin and evolution of the culture has yet to be fully explained. Volcanic rock from the island and wood from the mainland have been used in the construction of the Explora, with 30 guest rooms branching off from the living and dining areas. There's also a bar, pool, massage salon and an open-air pool.
