For your once-in-a-lifetime trip



A mild sub–tropical climate that brings alternate bursts of burning sun, sharp gusts of wind and sudden rain showers. This is the Easter Island, known as Rapa Nui by the locals. Located on this mythical island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Posada de Mike Rapu is considered as one of the best hotels in Latin America according to the Travel + Leisure magazine. Belongs to Chile, the island is one of the most isolated islands in the world.


Located on a hill on on 9.6 hectares of land that faces the sea, Posada de Mike Rapu is situated at 6 km from the only town on the island – Hanga Roa. Built to blend into the landscape, the hotel uses local wood and stone and it is a perfect spot for exploring this attractive and mysterious island, home to a culture whose origins and evolution remain unexplained. It is one of the world’s sacred sites, recognizable for a line of giant busts, built in stone, which are still nowadays an enigma.



As a member of the Explora Group, Posada de Mike Rapu offers superb service and modern, cutting-edge accommodation on Easter Island. It was the first one in all of South America to be certified with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The hotel has 30 unique guestrooms (4 suites and 26 standard rooms) that spread out from central areas that house reception, living areas, a bar, kitchen and services. There is also a spa with swimming pool, massage sanctuary, open air Jacuzzis and outdoor hot tubs.

Enjoy a variety of excursions from gentle ambling to more treacherous volcano hikes. Adventure-loving romantics can trek around the volcanoes, dive among the reefs, and examine the moai—those giant basalt statues—up close, all with Explora’s multilingual guides, then spend the night in the hotel equipped with an expansive terrace and the latest technology to keep them plugged in.
