Location Highlights

Located on the shores of the Salar de Uyuni in Colchani, Bolivia, Palacio de Sal is 30 km from Joya Andina. The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, covering about 12,000 km² in southwest Bolivia, at an altitude of approximately 3,700 meters. During the rainy season, it becomes a mirror reflecting the sky. The hotel is built from salt blocks extracted from the salt flats.

Hotel Services

Palacio de Sal offers waste management to minimize health risks. The hotel provides a showroom with traditional Bolivian costumes. Additional services include a shop selling Bolivian products such as alpaca wool clothes. Free shuttles to the city of Uyuni are available in the morning, afternoon, and evening based on flight schedules. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast by Tika Palace, free Wi-Fi, complimentary mate and tea, and access to the pool in the Spa. The hotel can organize corporate events.

“Built entirely from salt, this is more than just a place to stay-it's an experience. The architectural design mirrors the raw beauty of the Andean landscape and the location provides a gateway to explore the Salar de Uyuni, although some past experiences signal that service may not always meet the mark of a five-star establishment.”
