MANCORA MARINA HOTEL, MANCORA, PERU
See Slideshow
In Peru's far north, the Pacific coast retreat town of Máncora is quickly carving out a name as the country's premier beach and surf destination. Among the increasingly fashionable small hotels that have opened here, the Mancora Marina—on the road to Las Pocitas, one the area's best beaches—was designed by Jordi Puig (who also did the MV Aqua Amazon riverboat). The 12-room hotel, its focal point a three-story bar with steps leading down to the infinity pool, seems like something out of Milan rather than the area's more typical bamboo bungalows. The bartender will be there at check-in with your welcome cocktail (request a passion fruit sour or a mango daiquiri). Rooms have stark-white walls and furnishings as well as a sexy glass shower that stares into the main room.
Which room to book: The rooms are identical, but opt for the top floor for the widest view of fishing boats and frolicking dolphins.
