Melissa Wasi: Hotel in Pisac and retreat center nestled in a green haven.
Nature and serenity at the heart of the Sacred Valley, between Andean mountains and lush gardens.
Hotel in Pisac and retreat center for over 15 years: A true haven of peace for travelers
Located in the peaceful La Rinconada neighborhood, Melissa Wasi is a Pisac hotel nestled in a green haven, at the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Cusco, Peru. Amid Andean mountains, lush gardens, and a warm atmosphere, the place offers an authentic experience for travelers seeking calm and nature.
For over fifteen years, Melissa Wasi has welcomed visitors eager to discover Pisac, its famous artisan market, and its iconic archaeological site. Over time, the property has also evolved into a deeper, more intentional concept: it has become a retreat center in Pisac, while preserving its original spirit of hospitality.
Melissa wasi, it's more than :
Hotel in Pisac surrounded by nature
Originally a simple pasture, the land has been carefully transformed into a living, harmonious garden. Meticulously maintained green spaces, native plants and flowers, majestic eucalyptus trees, open mountain views, birdsong, and crisp Andean air create an ideal environment for rest.
Choosing Melissa Wasi as your Pisac hotel means staying in a serene spot, slightly set back from downtown yet easily reachable on foot or by mototaxi. After a day exploring the Sacred Valley, guests return here to a true haven of peace.

Comfortable accommodations as well as homemade breakfast
Breakfast is one of the highlights of the stay: fresh fruits, eggs cooked to order, yogurt, natural juices, coffee, and homemade crepes, a visitor favorite. It is included in the room rate and served as a buffet every morning from 8am to 10am.
A retreat center in Pisac, evolving naturally
Beyond its hotel activity, Melissa Wasi is also a retreat center in Pisac dedicated to retreats, workshops, and immersive stays.
The natural layout of the estate is particularly well-suited to this:
- Peaceful gardens fostering introspection
- Independent accommodations to preserve personal space
- Shared dining room conducive to exchanges
- Proximity to nature while staying close to the village
Rather than a radical transformation, the evolution takes place in respect for the site’s identity. The goal is to preserve its intimate and authentic atmosphere while gradually developing its infrastructure to accommodate groups, spiritual retreats, workshops, training sessions, and extended immersive stays in the Sacred Valley.
