Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa in Cotacachi

Luxury Meets History at Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa

Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa, tucked into an old-timey 200-year-old Andean Hacienda in Ecuador, whispers stories of a bygone era. The peacocks strut around like they own the place, adding a touch of the unexpected to your morning coffee. And if you're one to dabble in the culinary arts, the hotel's cooking school is where you can stir up some fun.

The suites? Let's just say, they're not your average digs. Picture a room with vintage furniture that looks like it’s seen a few stories, crystal chandeliers that could tell a tale or two, and seats so roomy your legs might get lost. Wi-Fi’s free, for when you want to tell the folks back home you’re living like royalty. And nothing beats a fireplace for those chillier nights, right?

Mirage Garden Hotel & Spa isn’t just about lounging around, unless that’s your thing. Get your boots muddy on a horseback ride to Cuicocha Crater or San Pablo Lake, or try your hand at tennis if you’re feeling sporty. Fancy a bit of pampering? Volcanic mud treatments and massages await. As for grub, the on-site restaurant, under its stained-glass ceiling, serves up a feast. Try the seared duck breast or kick off the day with a breakfast that’s as fancy as it sounds—think buttered croissants and natural juices. You might just leave double the size you came.
