José Ignacio's most design-forward new boutique: a 1970s Brazilian-inspired property with Austrian hosts Edda and Robert, a James Turrell Skyspace artwork on the grounds, and an atmosphere described as setting a new standard for what luxury travel should feel like.
Why We Chose It
Posada Ayana has quickly become a talked-about boutique hotels in José Ignacio — run by Austrian hosts Edda and Robert, it blends 1970s Brazilian design with contemporary art, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality. The most extraordinary feature is a James Turrell Skyspace (Ta Khut) on the property — a permanent installation by one of the world's leading light artists, rare outside of the United States. Guests describe the experience of seeing the Skyspace at dusk as the highlight of their trip. The rooms and service are excellent; the overall experience is described as 'setting a new standard for what luxury travel should feel, taste, smell, sound, and look like.'

- 1970s Brazilian modernist design
- Austrian hosts Edda and Robert often on-site
