BDA has some of the most expensive hotels in the world, there isn't much in the way of competition over there. Maybe a short break is all that's affordable! SCL is a lot further, but being a 787 the impact on you is probably about the same as the 777-200 to BDA.
You probably want to minimise time zone differences (SCL is admittedly only one hour back from BDA, 5 hours from BST). Oman? Amman? Tel Aviv is also a good idea. Montréal? New Orleans?
I've done NCL-CHC and back again with one night in NZ.
