Aracari's founder and CEO, Marisol Mosquera, reviews her top picks of the best private villas Mancora, in northern Peru. I am just back from sunny Mancora in Northern Peru, where I spent time checking out the best private beach villas. Known for its year-round sunshine, Mancora is a chic seaside destination that offers seasonal whale watching, snorkelling and surfing. I highly recommend staying in the luxury beach-front hotels KiChic and Arennas, but for those looking for complete privacy, more space or longer stays should also consider renting a private villa where you are guaranteed seclusion, peace and quiet and fantastic food rustled up by your dedicated villa staff. From sumptuous, secluded boltholes, to family-friendly beach pads, there are no shortage of options in our beach villa portfolio to suit your tastes and budget. Here I share my handpicked roundup of the very best beach villas - all of which can be booked through Aracari as part of any tailormade trip to Peru. Best Private Villas Mancora All of the villas on my carefully selected list are located on a gorgeous, wide stretch of beach that is absent of both rocks and people. Almost always deserted, the area allows for a truly peaceful, quiet, relaxing beach retreat in a location that maintains luxury and natural rawness. This is a place to come to and simply kick back. The best private villas Mancora are commonly equipped with beach views, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, on-site staff (including a private chef to cook fresh fish and seafood!), a private pool, and gorgeous luxury accommodation - but each also boasts its own unique characteristics. The Best for a Luxury Secluded Getaway: Casa Adobe The epitome of stylish rustic-chic, luxurious Casa Adobe is at a height of about 12km above the beach which gives guests a private escape and 180 degree views of the ocean. Here, guests can

Our Head of Marketing gives her first-hand review of Amantica Lodge Lake Titicaca, having personally stayed at the luxurious private villa, located on Amantaní Island in Peru. Amantica Lodge Lake Titicaca As I cruised towards to the island under the midday sun, cutting through the stillness of the lake, Amantica Lodge slowly came into view. Perched on a quiet edge of Amantaní Island on Lake Titicaca, Amantica Lodge is a new stylish, private two-bed villa that I had the pleasure of testing out on a recent inspection trip to Lake Titicaca. Already acclimatised to the giddying heights of the region (3,810m / 12,500 ft), having spent a relaxing couple of days on glorious Suasi Island, I was picked up earlier by Amantica’s boat to head over for a night of sumptuous relaxation at the luxury lodge, inaugurated in early 2016. Whilst Amantaní Island is populated by a handful of villages, as I approached the villa immediately showed off its prime lookout position, comfortably secluded on its own nook - yet with traces of village civilization still easily in sight. From the lake, the exterior of the property seemed understated in contrast to the luxurious lair I was about to discover up-close. The Peru Private Villa A warm welcome and refreshing drink was quickly followed by a brief tour of the property. Amantica lodge Lake Titicaca consists of two rooms – one double and one twin, joined by a spacious, shared bathroom. Walking in to the Master double bedroom from one of the two decking areas, I was immediately struck by the gorgeous design and the ultimate showstopper: the views. With a layout designed to make the most of these, the property undoubtedly presented an immediate wow-factor. It was impossible to resist such a sublime view and I immediately went out to the main, private
