About Sunny Days
Sunny Days began over twenty years ago when Ross and Beatriz, a New Zealand and Chilean couple, turned their family home into a welcoming space for travellers. What started as a dream rooted in a love for agriculture and tourism grew into a beloved haven for those passing through Arica.
Today, Sasha and Josh are honoured to continue the legacy, bringing fresh energy to this special place while staying true to the heart and soul of Sunny Days.
