About Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa
Aranwa Paracas Resort & Spa stands at the entrance to Paracas Bay, in the El Chaco area. It is minutes from the Paracas National Reserve and from the departure point for Ballestas Islands excursions, which makes it a practical base for one or two nights. Its 115 rooms and suites face the ocean, a pool or the interior of the grounds, so it is worth asking for the outlook you want.
The Deluxe Double is a king-bedded room of at least 40 square meters with a terrace facing the bay. Families get more room in the Family Suite, from 76 square meters, with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom. The Master Suite, from 80 square meters, adds a separate lounge and a wide jacuzzi terrace. Connecting rooms can be requested in the Deluxe Twin category.
Outside, there are two pools, one of them heated, plus a tennis court, a playground and a pirate ship used for activities. A 180-meter pier reaches into the bay and has a lounge bar. Dinner is at Veranda, which cooks Peruvian coastal dishes with a seafood focus, or at Brisas Nikkei, a Japanese-Peruvian sushi bar. The Unno Spa has five treatment rooms, a sauna and a saltwater pool.

Good to know
- Rooms face the ocean, a pool or the interior of the grounds, so request the outlook you want when booking.
- Spa treatments and stays with a dog carry extra charges, so ask before you arrive.
- A full renovation of the resort was completed in January 2025, so older photos may not match the rooms today.
