# UNAI Atacama — Luxury Tents > Eco luxury camp in the Atacama Desert, Chile. Boutique accommodation, > signature gastronomy and exclusive experiences under the clearest sky on Earth. ## About UNAI Atacama is a luxury tent resort located 5 km from the center of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. The name "UNAI" comes from the Andean Aymara cosmovision and means unity, the first one, or the primordial. The project was conceived during the 2020 pandemic by founders Pablo Carreño, María Jesús Jara and Patricio Novoa, and opened to guests in June 2025. The property is situated at Aguas Calientes 207, Ayllu de Solor, San Pedro de Atacama, with direct views of the Licancabur volcano. It operates on 100% solar energy and embraces a philosophy of sustainable luxury — connecting guests with the desert environment while offering world-class service and comfort. ## Accommodation UNAI offers exclusive luxury tents designed to the highest standards. Each tent provides absolute privacy, a private terrace with desert and volcano views, premium bedding, and en-suite bathroom facilities. Capacity is limited to ensure an intimate, personalized experience for each guest. ## Gastronomy The UNAI restaurant is led by Chef Juan Pablo Mardones and Mora Jones.
