Nouvelle Aquitaine, France
Indarra sits on the Route de Saint Pée in Nouvelle Aquitaine, carrying a Michelin Selected designation for 2025 that places it within the region's smaller, more considered tier of accommodation.

Puerto Maldonado, Peru
A Michelin Selected lodge on the banks of the Madre de Dios River, Inkaterra Hacienda Concepción places guests inside the Tambopata buffer zone, seven kilometres from Puerto Maldonado.

Tambopata, Peru
A Michelin Selected lodge on the Madre de Dios River, 15 kilometres into the Tambopata reserve, Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica places guests inside primary rainforest rather than adjacent to it.
