In this strip of the Atacama Region, where aridity dominates the horizon, the Bahía Inglesa spa rises as a refuge of calm. Its name evokes explorers, but its pace is leisurely, without crowds or noise. It is a beach almost perfect, bordered by white houses and cafes that look out to the sea.
The Chilean beach with turquoise water that looks like a paradise
English Bay is not just a beach major; It is a sensory experience with multiple neighboring coasts. Its translucent turquoise sea surprises with its unusually gentle temperature, a true rarity on the Chilean coast. When swimming, the sensation is closer to the Mediterranean than the Pacific, which makes it a paradise TRUE.
This spa belongs to the commune of Caldera (Atacama), located just six kilometers away. While Caldera concentrates the gastronomic offer and broader services, Bahía Inglesa retains an air of charming isolation. It is the perfect destination if the idea is to disconnect and listen only to the sea in a beach peaceful.

The activities at the spa are varied and simple, ideal for enjoying the beach: from diving, kayaking and surfing, to recreational fishing and sunset walks. It is common to see cyclists riding the sandy paths or families having a picnic in front of the sea, enjoying this small corner of the Caribbean.
