Welcome to Arica, Chile's sun-kissed gem where the Pacific Ocean greets you with open waves and the Atacama Desert whispers sweet nothings. With 17 hotels in our arsenal, choosing a place to stay is almost as tough as deciding whether to dive into the ocean or take a nap in the sun. Spoiler alert: do both.
Arica boasts a delightful mix of beaches, culture, and a dash of history. You can lounge on the sandy shores or take a stroll through the vibrant streets filled with colorful murals and local markets. Stay in the lively downtown area for easy access to quirky cafes and shops, or opt for a hotel near the beach if your idea of a good time involves sunbathing until you resemble a lobster.
Don’t miss the iconic Morro de Arica—climb it for panoramic views, where you can contemplate your life choices while marveling at the scenery. The best time to visit? Between March and May, when the weather is as perfect as a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
And remember, comparing hotels on FlyDoha isn’t just wise; it’s essential. Because who wants to pay extra for a view of a brick wall when you could be gazing at the ocean?
