Crusoe Island Hotel

A new option in Paradise

A NEW INITIATIVE BY A CHILEAN BUSINESSMAN HOPES TO TRANSFORM TOURISM ON REMOTE ROBINSON CRUSOE ISLAND BY REMODELING AN EXISTING HOTEL INTO A LUXURY HOTEL THAT WIILL MIX MODERN COMFORTS WITH THE FASCINATING ATMOSPHERE OF THE JUAN FERNANDEZ ARCHIPIELAGO.

Crusoe Island Eco Spa & Adventure first opened its doors to guests on January 1st this year with 15 rooms. Considering the new tendencies in ecotourism, Crusoe Island Hotel was inaugurated with a functional design, offering a high quality service. The revamped hotel building makes extensive use of natural materials including stone and wood from the mainland, providing their guests a cozy environment "home away from home".

Crusoe Island Hotel invites visitors to enjoy a service of excellence: warm reception, comfort and entertainment that transforms it into an uncomparable place for holidays and relaxation.

Crusoe Island Hotel is unique since its location mirrors paradise on earth. The real Robinson Crusoe Island, where Alexander Selkirk was abandoned and inspired Daniel Defoe's famous novel. A breathtaking place, because of the incredible natural contrast (forest, desert, jungle, hills and ocean) that offers a special mysticism to the environment, surrounded by a richly and incredibly diverse flora and fauna. The Hotel assures the experience of living the four elements on the island: diving, snorkelling, sailing, kayaking, extreme fishing, trolling or fly-fishing techniques, trekking, and horseback riding ensuring guests an unforgettable time. Finally, the Spa offers an exotic range of treatments including mud soaks, milk baths, and therapies using chocolate, wine, or seaweed, massages and facial treatments using mother of pearl. Special gastronomy includes tasting famous fresh seafood of the island such as lobster, Vidriola, Golden Crab and Breca.

All this is integrated in the hotel which gives passengers from all over the world the best service taking care of every detail for a completely satisfying experience.

Despite the island's remote location (it is a two-hour flight from Santiago), Crusoe Island Hotel counts with a helicopter that allows visitors to be in only 6 minutes at the hotel.

*Hotel Open season: September - April

The hotel staff is a group of professionals who speak English, Spanish and French, highly trained, not only in the areas of expertise but also in making feel future customers that Crusoe Island Hotel is the best place to vacation.
