Posada de Mike Rapu, Explora Rapa Nui is like a fairytale. Explora’s LEED-certified lodge offers accomodations worthy of its legendary (and legendarily remote) setting 3,700 miles off Chile’s coast. Built to blend into the arid, rocky landscape, the Posada uses pine wood, local stone, and a cylindrical glass-heavy design endowing all 30 suites have enormous windows with broad views of the Pacific (good thing, because there are no TVs.) The property is paradise for active travelers: each morning, guests choose from a menu of excursions, including volcano treks, horseback rides along the coast (bring a picnic lunch!), and scuba dives. It’s transformative.
