Welcome to Easter Island
The moai of Easter Island stand across a remote Pacific landscape unlike anywhere else on the planet. You can walk among these ancient stone figures, explore volcanic craters, and snorkel in clear coastal waters. Resorts in Easter Island are concentrated around Hanga Roa, the island's only town, placing you close to archaeological sites, local restaurants, and the rugged coastline that defines this place.
How to find the best resort deal in Easter Island
Our search engine is your secret weapon for finding flight deals. The good news? It's every bit as clever at hunting down bargains on resorts. Spend less on your stay with these tips.
Book in advance
Book in advance if you can. Planning ahead usually means cheaper prices and a wider variety of resorts, especially during peak seasons.
...Or bag a last-minute Easter Island resort deal
Leaving it late comes with some risk, but it can still land you a bargain. Some stays discount their rates ahead of check-in to attract more guests, especially when it's quieter.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
Cheap resorts in Easter Island can be easier to find if you're not tied to specific dates. Try different months or seasons, or go during the week instead of weekends to save money.
Go all-inclusive
If you plan to spend the majority of your time in one place, all-inclusive resorts in Easter Island are hard to beat. Drinks, meals and activities are bundled into the room rate, which can help keep your budget on track. Check availability for this type of stay before booking.
Show discounted resorts only

When to visit Easter Island
High and low season in Easter Island
The summer months from December through February bring warm, dry conditions to Easter Island, making it the most popular time to visit. The moai sites are easy to explore, and the longer days give you more time outdoors. Accommodation fills up quickly during this period, so booking well in advance is the right move if your dates are fixed.
Visiting outside the peak summer window means fewer people at the major sites and a generally easier time securing a place to stay. Conditions can be wetter and windier, particularly between June and August, but Easter Island remains open to visitors year-round. If you're flexible on timing, the shoulder months of March, April, and October offer a reasonable middle ground.
The Tapati Rapa Nui festival, held each February, is the standout cultural event on Easter Island. It celebrates Rapa Nui heritage through traditional music, dance, sports, and crafts, and draws visitors from around the world. For smaller community events and current activities, the local visitor information centre in Hanga Roa is a good place to ask once you arrive.
Events in Easter Island
