5 Best Hotels in Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna, Lake Titicaca
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna right now.
You will be amply rewarded for your climb up the steps from the port—the higher you go, the cheaper the hostels, or posadas. They are almost all quite basic so, in most cases, you will be trading the bells and whistles of upper-quality hotels for a peaceful retreat with gorgeous views. If you go without a reservation, you'll likely find women or children waiting at Yumani's port to invite you to stay. The north side of the island is more barren but also has attractive options, including a place on the beach itself.
Hostal Phaxsi
La Estancia Ecolodge
Staggered on a hillside, each of this property's bungalows is named for a type of flora and has an unobstructed view of Lake Titicaca, making this the perfect place to watch the sunrise. The eco-lodge uses alternative energy, recycles water back into the garden, and takes garbage off the island. All 15 palapa-adobe buildings have hot-water showers warmed by solar power and Trombe walls heat the rustic-European-style rooms with stone floor bathrooms and beamed ceilings. Three-course meals are served at a set time in a common dining area, and both breakfast and dinner are included in the rate, which is significantly cheaper if booked through the office in La Paz.

Posada del Inca Eco Lodge
Your stay at this lovely posada, what is surely the best lodging on the island, begins with a 30-minute mule ride from the boat dock to the garden-lobby, where fruit trees shade handmade reed couches, and the hillside location offers sweeping lake views. Rooms in this beautifully restored, colonial-style hacienda are attractively furnished with reclaimed wood, and showers, wall heaters, and electric blankets are all powered by solar energy. Before dinner, guests gather around the fire in the cozy bar where oxygen is available for those acclimating to the altitude. Rooms must be booked as part of a hydrofoil tour with Crillón Tours in La Paz, making this one of the more expensive options on the island.
