The local-stone and stained-glass Yacu Wasi spa is bathed in a full spectrum of colours that echo the flowers in the garden and the bright dyes used in traditional Andean textiles. Sunloungers run along the opposite side, and there’s a hot tub a few steps away. The heated pool is on a lawn and overlooks borders planted with trees, shrubs and fragrant flowers. Inside, there’s a separate living room with a wood-burning fire, colourful murals and textiles hand-loomed in the traditional Cusco style.
