Hotel Mossone
Is an upscale and expensive hotel located in an old colonial hacienda in huacachina, with views of the oasis. prices here are decidedly geared towards foreign tourists, as room prices range from $80 to $150. the hotel features its own swimming pool and restaurant. definitely the nicest hotel in huacachina, but probably not the best option for backpackers or young people who might find the social scene there to be lacking.
Desert Nights
Is a good budget option. it is a hostal that is excellently located near the entrance to huacachina, and is owned by an american-peruvian couple. it is well-liked because it is clean and affordable. it has a restaurant with tasty food. however it lacks a discoteca and swimming pool. this is the only hostelling-international youth hostel in the area. best place if wifi availability is important.
Las Dunas Hotel
Is a very upscale hotel in a quiet neighborhood about 7 minutes ride from huacachina. it is the nicest, most exclusive hotel in the area with huge swimming pools, large lawns, and llamas and alpacas that roam around the grounds. as you would imagine, it is also the most expensive hotel in the area.
Hostal Salvatierra
Is a backpacker hostel that has seen better days, although it remains a bargain for tourists looking to save money. private rooms often cost as little as 20 soles per person, although the rooms are old and grungy. the hotel has its own pool, one of the nicest pools in huacachina. like most resorts and backpacker hostels, they offer dunebuggy tours and wine bodega tours.
