Luxury Holidays & Honeymoons in Bolivia

Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat. The footprint of a dried-up prehistoric lake, it is emblematic of the stark grandeur and inter-planetary vibe of Bolivia. The pink flamingos who flock here, sharp against the immensity of white, would say the same – could they talk. From the brown-red rooftops of Potosi – a mountainous town with the highest glass of beer in the world – to the faded memorabilia to Che Guevara, who called this country his home until his death in 1967. You can walk the Che Trail from the pretty colonial town of Samaipata. You can walk the white-washed streets and houses of sweet Sucre.

From the exaggeratedly refined to the unexpected, the luxury hotels of Bolivia – like the country itself – defy easy classification, but leave you beyond fulfilled. There’s La Paz, with its ultra-modern palaces to five star refinement, or the luxurious eco-pods of the Bolivian salt flats. We’ll set up magnificent Blink camps wherever your heart desires.

Join Bolivia’s high society with a luxury private tour that runs and rambles from its vertiginous cities and colonial, brown-stone towns to its mist-shrouded jungles and otherworldly flats. Personally, we find the urban gondolas of El Alto to be irresistible, eyeing up the many architectural marvels of indigenous Aymara architect Freddy Mamani Silvestre, who has created some seventy structures in this unusual city. Often commissioned by the city’s nouveau riche, their fabulous and seemingly fictitious styles combine dazzling stylistic motifs with swimming pools and gaudy chandeliers.

For a high-flying luxury honeymoon, Bolivia is a no-brainer. There’s something exquisitely romantic about leaving solar, vibrant La Paz and heading together to the immense and beautiful stillness of the nation’s salt flats. Perhaps it has something to do with the clarity, and your proximity to the stars. Perhaps.
