>Casa Andina Private Collection Isla Suasi Puno Hotel: Location |
|
Isla Suasi is just 106 acres (43 hectares) – a mere speck in the midst of Lake Titicaca. Remote Isla Suasi, in the northeastern extreme of Lake Titicaca, is reachable in about 3 hours by fast lancha (motorized speedboat), which leaves directly from the private pier of Casa Andina Private Collection Isla Suasi - Puno. Visitors stop en route at the unique Uros Floating Islands and then enjoy a singular cultural experience visiting the traditional Alsuno community of weavers on Taquile Island, before venturing on to Suasi – arriving just in time for a barbecue lunch.

| |
Suasi makes ingenious use of rustic local materials, but is unexpectedly refined for a remote, solar-powered ecolodge. 23 Superior rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with large bathrooms, peaked ceilings with wood beams, and chimneys. All rooms feature huge picture windows framing great views of the bay and deep blue of Lake Titicaca. The Andean Cottage is a very large & extremely private 2-bedroom lakefront suite.
The rooms include:
- In the original wing, 9 rooms have a warm appeal, with exposed stone walls and high peaked ceilings brightened by large skylights.
- In the newest wing, 14 rooms are just a touch more modern, though they feature even more expansive lake views.
- Two rooms have balconies overlooking gardens and the lake.
- Panoramic views of the lake.
- Pressurized oxygen available upon request.
- Chimneys.
- Down comforters.
- Hot water bottles to warm beds.
- Skylights in most of the rooms.

- The Gourmet Restaurant, lit by candlelight, is elegant and sophisticated but with relaxing rustic touches. The chef uses native grains in soups, such as sopa de quinoa, and indigenous meats like alpaca, and a superb selection of Peruvian and imported wines and spirits is on tap. Most guests begin the evening with a drink in the fire-warmed bar and end it with a nightcap and some billiards or board games.
- The inviting Sauna & Massage room boasts great lake views and is in keeping with the island’s rusticity. Massages by a professional masseuse take advantage of creams, oils and aromatherapy based on regional Andean plants, while a laid-back steam sauna uses eucalyptus leaves. The sauna is offered free of charge to guests.
