Fodor's Expert Review Vai Moana
Easter Island, Valparaíso, 2770000, Chile
The name of this lodging means "blue sea," and it's easy to see why, as a long stretch of azure ocean can be seen from just about everywhere. Little green cabins strewn around the grounds are simply furnished, with wood-beamed ceilings and wide windows. They are cleverly designed with venting windows so neither fans nor air-conditioning are necessary, even in summer; sustainability is key here. Artsy guests can take advantage of workshops, classes, and educational events led by woodworkers, painters, and other artists. There is also a pool and massage room.

- owner is interested in the living culture (not just historical culture) of Easter Island
- very art centric
- great views
CONS
- a 15-minute walk from the center of Hanga Roa
