My Stay at Hotel Luna Salada: Sleeping in the Heart of the Salt Flats

Salar de Ayuni

The Salty Surprise

Arriving at the edges of the Salar de Uyuni, the Hotel Luna Salada immediately stunned me. It's not just a hotel; it's a sculpture made of salt. I could feel the unique texture of the place just by touching the walls. And yes, the walls are actually salt! (Though, please, don't try tasting them like I did out of curiosity—they taste exactly how you'd imagine, and more).

This is a refuge of absolute luxury in the middle of nowhere. It's true the initial cost might seem high, but I quickly understood why: the quality of service and the sheer uniqueness of the accommodation in such a remote location are completely worth it. It truly surpassed all my expectations.

Culinary Delights at Hotel Luna Salada

The dining experience was a pleasant surprise. The Luna Salada kitchen is a genuine delight for the senses.

The breakfast was, honestly, spectacular, abundant, and delicious. Starting the day overlooking the salt flats with that variety of dishes was a luxury I treasured. Even though I was in Bolivia, I took a chance and ordered a hamburger one night at the restaurant, and let me tell you, it was fantastic.

This really shows you the level of the chefs. I 100% recommend eating there. They have an extensive menu, but everything I tried was carefully prepared to satisfy the most demanding palate.

Human Warmth in the Desert

What truly makes this hotel shine is its hospitality. From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, helpful, and always just a smile away. Despite being in this "oasis in the desert," I instantly felt right at home.

A tip I learned: To avoid surprises, verify the transportation costs to and from the salt flat beforehand. Once that's settled, the overall stay was unbeatable.
