Boutique Eco Surf Lodge in Punta de Lobos, Pichilemu!
Perched amid the dunes at Punta de Lobos, Hotel Alaia’s soul is world-class surfing and its connection to the sea.
The Punta de Lobos peninsula is a world-renowned and top Chilean surfing spot and a place of outstanding natural beauty, with a picturesque coastal landscape of cliffs, forests, blue and endless sea views. A five-minute drive from Pichilemu, this rugged stretch of beachfront is renowned for its reliable swells and long, left-breaking waves, which are some of the best in the southern hemisphere.
The Resort
With its simple architecture, built with native recycled wood and decorated by local artists and artisans, Hotel Alaia is an architectural expression of Chilean spirit with a good measure of environmental sustainability thrown in.
Minimalist architect Nicolas Pfenniger chose to pay homage to his homeland with black rock and native wood varieties as well as materials salvaged from the 2010 earthquake. Architectural highlights include rock chimneys and a panoramic lobby, while a skatepark and climbing boulder welcome guests at the hotel’s entrance.
Enjoy the ocean views from every corner of the hotel, the direct access to the beach and indulge in outdoor swimming or in the wood-fired hot tube.
Waves at Hotel Alaia
Punta de Lobos is one of the most iconic left-hand pointbreaks in the world and one of Chile’s best-known waves. Characterized by a number of rideable sections, it is not uncommon for the sections to connect and 800m + rides to occur during large swells.
It breaks in all conditions, from 3 to 18 ft and there are more than 300 days of guaranteed great surf per year!
Lobos is not just for XXL days either, with a rippable, sand-bottomed section known as Diamante on the inside for the groms and the pilots. Further up the point, the El Mirador section has summer peelers rotating past the shoreline rock clusters, or muscle-bound walls linking from the rocks all the way to the beach sections in a lined-up SW-W swell.
Punta de Lobos World Surfing Reserve is also part of a global biodiversity hotspot, boasting incredible marine and terrestrial resources.

The Rooms
With a big, wide window to the most stunning ocean views, these perfect sustainable havens are minimalist in spirit and tactile by design.
The twelve rooms are styled with rustic minimalism, featuring polished concrete floors and timber walls that sit easily with the landscape, keeping the focus on the sweeping Pacific views, specifically towards one section of the endless wave “El Diamante”.
Counting with 35 squared meters and decorations based in noble woods paired with local elements, you undoubtedly won’t find a better place to appreciate the beauty of Punta de Lobos.
The Cuisine
The resort’s kitchen is characterized by being simple and focusing on ocean and earth products offered by small local producers, with the aim of enhancing the local economy. The chefs use seasonal products from artisanal practices or organic growth. The food is exceptionally fresh and of high quality.
Aligned with this philosophy, part of the offering includes rockfish chased by hand, sea-food extracted by fishermen from Punta de Lobos, salt and quinoa from Cahuil, in addition to the most exclusive selection of Chilean wines from the Colchagua Valley.
Experiences
The resort’s spirit is based on surfing and sports practised on the sea, however, Hotel Alaia offers a wide range of activities so you can take advantage of your stay in Punta de Lobos. Visit Cahuil’s lagoon and its salt mines, stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and kayak or enjoy a sunset with a yoga class!
Skate Park
Black rock, upcycled after the 2010 earthquake, has been used to create that rarest of things: a high-style resort with a skatepark! Warm-up before the surf session in the super fun skate bowl of Hotel Alaia!
Get There
Hotel Alaia is located in Punta de Lobos, within the coast of the O’Higgins Region, 213 km from Santiago de Chile. By land, you can reach Pichilemu by car in 2.5 hrs through Autopista del Sol Highway. By air, you can arrive in 40 minutes from Santiago to the hotel’s helipad or local airport.
