It’s no surprise why Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet, fell in love with Isla Negra. This lovely beach town in Chile is known for its coast with an outcrop of dark rocks which he christened in Spanish as “black island”. The angry waves crashing on the rocks matched by zigzagging roads lined with pine trees set a whimsical inspiration for artists of all genres. The townhomes are an interesting mix of contemporary and 60’s hippie style architecture. Neruda built Casa de la Isla Negra for his self-imposed exile where he lived up to his death. Now a popular museum, it displays his odd but playful artefact collection. The town commemorates his birthday in July with an annual fiesta filled with food, music, and poetry readings. Just like Neruda, artists and tourists all over the world are drawn to Isla Negra for its poetic beauty. For a romantic getaway, check into one of our Airbnb vacation rentals below.
