Arennas Máncora

We’ll let you in on a secret: Máncora, on Peru’s sand-rimmed north coast, is a hush-hush sort of place. It’s visited by whales and turtles offshore, lined by sandy beaches and studded with standout, bohemian-style hotels that offer yoga, meditation and more. If you like the sound of that, but want to dial up the luxury a little, this resort is the place to spoil yourself. The beachfront retreat blends into the natural surrounds, with its simple wood and palm palette. An outdoor restaurant offering northern Peru’s famous fish dishes, plus an outdoor bar, massage area and beachside pool are all serenaded by the Pacific waves.
