The term combines the English words “work” and “vacation” and refers to a work arrangement that has grown significantly in recent years, allowing employees to work remotely from a holiday destination. The working day continues as usual, while free time, lunch breaks, and weekends are spent enjoying a different setting. And if there is one place that is ideal for a workation, it is Lima. 

Work and Pleasure in Lima 

Peru’s capital is an ideal destination for combining remote work with unforgettable experiences. For starters, it is the only South American capital located on the coast, and its seaside setting offers spectacular views and routes for walking, jogging outdoors, or cycling—all excellent ways to balance a busy work schedule. Lima’s gastronomy also makes it an appealing destination for any occasion. Planning lunches and dinners—the free moments in a typical workation week—becomes a culinary adventure in its own right. 

Most importantly, Lima is home to hotels that combine excellent locations with outstanding service, spacious facilities, and state-of-the-art technology. 

The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center 

A favorite venue for major business events and meetings, this hotel stands out for its facilities and strategic location in San Isidro, at the heart of Lima’s financial district. According to Bloomberg, it has been ranked among the 45 best business hotels in Latin America. The property features 19 business facilities, more than 2,500 m² of event space, and 20 venues for more informal meetings. 

The Westin Lima Hotel is also home to Heavenly Spa, the largest urban spa in South America, offering visitors an opportunity to achieve the physical, professional, and emotional balance they seek.  

Another standout amenity is the Westin Executive Club, which welcomes guests staying in suites and Westin Executive rooms, as well as Ambassador, Titanium, and Platinum members. Located on the 29th floor, it offers magnificent city views, comfortable lounge areas, and a bar. It is an exceptional place to unwind, work in a quiet and welcoming atmosphere, or even bring a guest at no additional charge. A healthy breakfast and a selection of complimentary alcoholic beverages are also served during designated evening hours. 

AC Lima Miraflores 

Located along the Malecón de la Reserva, one of Lima’s most attractive and secure areas, the hotel offers unparalleled ocean views. Its modern European aesthetic is timeless and appeals to worldly travelers who are accustomed to life on the move. 

AC Kitchen serves a customized breakfast and features a Spanish-inspired menu alongside blends made with some of the finest coffees. Saladero restaurant offers Peruvian and international cuisine, turning lunch into an exceptional gastronomic experience, while Insumo is Lima’s only restaurant located on a rooftop overlooking the sea. 

The AC Lounge provides a place to unwind—with wonderful ocean views and spectacular sunset vistas during the summer—or hold an informal meeting over classic and signature cocktails, a selection of wines, and tapas. 

Integrated with the restaurant, the AC Library is another thoughtfully designed space where guests can work and hold meetings in a more relaxed setting. The hotel also features modern, understated meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology. 

At any time of day, the AC Fitness Center provides an elegant space where guests can maintain their exercise routines whenever it suits them. 

Aloft Lima Miraflores 

Aloft Lima Miraflores offers a tech-inclusive experience. Designed for travelers who want to immerse themselves in the city’s culinary, social, and cultural scene, the hotel welcomes a connected, tech-savvy, cosmopolitan, and curious community. Its interiors draw inspiration from urban life, with a contemporary artistic spirit that encourages productivity throughout the stay. Aloft’s dynamic atmosphere reflects its passion for music, art, and social interaction, while its services are designed to equip and comfort an independent-minded community. 

During the day, the RE Lounge is a bright coworking space, ideal for socializing, working, and networking. At night, it transforms into a lively bar. Flexibility extends to other hotel experiences as well. The Tactic meeting rooms, for example, measure 41 and 42 m² and can be combined to accommodate up to 70 people. 

Another hallmark of Aloft is its range of unique experiences, connecting guests with the city’s most dynamic and stimulating offerings. For instance, the WXYZ Bar is the perfect place to unwind, step out of the room, socialize, and enjoy food and drinks. 

Lima is a strategic hub in South America, making it an ideal destination for doing business, forging new partnerships, and developing projects in a productive, vibrant, and inspiring setting.
