Sol y Luna

Sol y Luna, nestled in Peru’s Sacred Valley, is more than a luxury Relais & Châteaux property—it plays a central role in the local community.

Rooted in Relais & Châteaux’s 12 commitments to sustainability, Sol y Luna integrates the power of hospitality with the transformative mission of the Sol y Luna Foundation.

A Partnership with UNESCO

Aware that intentions must be converted into tangible, clear, and measurable actions, a partnership has been established between UNESCO and the Relais & Châteaux Association.

As a selected member of the Sustainability Commission for Relais & Chateaux, Sol y Luna founder and owner, Petit Miribel, announced the 12 commitments at the Relais & Chateaux Congress in Paris.

The partnership is part of UNESCO’s worldwide efforts in the realms of education, science, and culture and the Relais & Chateaux’s search for new, more effective coalitions between international bodies and civil society.

As such, 12 commitments have been designed to pursue three major missions:

1/ PRESERVE THE WORLD’S HOSPITALITY & CULINARY TRADITIONS

2/ CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF BIODIVERSITY

3/ TAKE DAILY ACTION FOR A MORE HUMANE WORLD

Empowering the Local Community 

Founded in 1998, the Sol y Luna Foundation predates the Sol y Luna Hotel. Profits from hotel bookings and guest donations support the Foundation’s educational programmes, thus aligning with UNESCO’s vision of reducing inequalities and fostering inclusive education.

The Sol y Luna Foundation provides children with access to schooling, healthcare, and a safe environment in which to grow.

Preserving Cultural Heritage

Through its design and cuisine, Sol y Luna embodies Andean traditions.

From showcasing the region’s rich craft heritage to celebrating local ingredients in its dishes, the property embodies Relais & Châteaux’s commitment to preserving cultural diversity.

Consciously designed to integrate unobtrusively into its surroundings, Sol y Luna is formed of multiple casitas which all pay homage to the view.

Sustainability in Action

Sol y Luna is dedicated to environmental stewardship, from minimizing waste to supporting local farmers who practice sustainable agriculture.

By collaborating with producers and reducing its ecological footprint, the property spearheads Relais & Châteaux’s pledge to achieve ambitious environmental goals by 2040.

Through its dual focus on luxury and social impact, Sol y Luna demonstrates how hospitality can drive meaningful change.

When you stay here, you’re not just immersing yourself in breathtaking landscapes and exceptional service—you’re helping to build a brighter future for the Sacred Valley.
