RA’A RANCH
Located on the remote northern coast of Rapa Nui, Ra’a Ranch is a working ranch offering private, land-based experiences designed to connect guests to the island beyond traditional tourism.
Ra’a — meaning “sun” in Rapa Nui — reflects the landscape itself: open coastlines, expansive skies, and life shaped by the rhythms of the ocean and land.
Our experiences include horseback expeditions across remote coastal terrain, fishing excursions, guided hikes to archaeological sites, tide pool adventures, long-table dinners, and traditional outdoor cooking experiences. Many of these places are difficult to access without local knowledge and are rarely seen by most visitors to the island.
We work closely with local Rapa Nui guides, fishermen, and farmers, sourcing locally whenever possible and keeping our experiences intentionally small and personal.
Ra’a Ranch offers a slower, more immersive way to experience Rapa Nui — rooted in nature, hospitality, and everyday island life.
ABOUT RA’A RANCH
Raised between the United States and Rapa Nui, the founders of Ra’a Ranch bring together two distinct worlds: one deeply rooted in the traditions and daily life of the island, the other shaped by years working within luxury hospitality, food, editorial, and wellness spaces abroad.
Born and raised on Rapa Nui, Tomas comes from generations connected to the land and sea. Ana’s background spans private hospitality, food media, and luxury wellness, with years spent working as a food editor and private chef for Gwyneth Paltrow before returning full time to island life.
Set on privately held land along the remote northern coast of Rapa Nui, Ra’a Ranch is a working ranch where horses, fishing, farming, outdoor cooking, and life tied to the elements remain part of the everyday rhythm. The experience of the ranch is shaped by this intersection: refined yet grounded, remote yet deeply hospitable.
Ra’a Ranch was created from the belief that meaningful luxury today is found in intimacy, connection, and access to experiences that feel both deeply personal and impossible to replicate elsewhere. Experiences are intentionally small and immersive — designed around the landscape, the pace of the island, and the knowledge of the people who call it home.
Rather than traditional tourism, Ra’a Ranch offers a slower and more elevated way to experience Rapa Nui — one centered around nature, wellness, hospitality, and a profound sense of place.
