Awasi Patagonia

Style

Secluded stilted cabins

Setting

Patagonian triple peaks

Awasi Patagonia is formed from 14 luxury cabins, in heavenly isolation on the edge of Chile’s Torres del Paine national park. Solitude and adventure are offered in equal measure, thanks to a private guide for each guest who’ll craft your stay into exactly what you wish. The lodge is impeccably designed, but with a natural setting so spectacular, they almost needn’t have bothered – the views of the opposite mountains in this immaculate wilderness are unforgettable. And you’ll be able to enjoy plenty of them, since vast windows are the order of the day.

Free WiFi in communal areas, private guides and 4WD vehicles. In rooms: minibars, hot tubs, iPod docks, Nespresso machines and L’Occitane bath products.

Our Favourite Rooms

Each of the 12 wooden villas is as spectacular in reality as they look in the pictures, with fireplaces, outdoor hot tubs and windows showcasing the Torres del Paine, as well as cosy sheepskin rugs, wool blankets and wood-burning stoves. Groups should book the Master Villa, which has two bedrooms and bathrooms. For the most privacy, opt for the cabin furthest away from the main lodge.

Packing Tips

Bring alpaca-wool ponchos, straw chupalla hats and – depending how seriously you’re taking being in the land of the gauchos – a pair of bombacha trousers.

Also

There’s no spa, but in-room massages can be arranged and each suite has an outdoor hot tub.

Дети

The wild terrain makes this hotel unsuitable for little Smiths, but teens aged 14 and over are welcome.

Food & Drink

Top Table

As close to the vast windows as possible, especially in daylight; those peaks in the neighbouring national park never get boring.

Дресс-код

Keep it casual – you’ll be switching to slippers for supper at the main lodge.

Hotel Restaurant

The chef does a brilliant job of using as much locally sourced produce as possible and, despite the isolated setting, you wouldn’t know it when it comes to sustenance during your stay. If you can bear to, having seen them grazing as you approach the estate, try some guanaco (a local breed of lama) in steak or tartare form. The seafood is also impressive, especially the region’s hake and the crab pie. At breakfast, there’s a juice bar ready to whizz up energising blends, as well as a hot-food menu and a spread of cheese, meats and mounds of guacamole.

Hotel Bar

There’s a bar area in the main building, with more wood panelling, cow hides and splashes of colour, as well as some informative displays in case you’re feeling studious; black and white photographs depict the development of the hotel, and encyclopaedic illustrations assist in identifying local wildlife. The resident mixologist will helpfully suggest his own specialities or shake up your own.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7.30am until 10am; lunch is between 1pm and 3pm; dinner is from 7.30pm to 10am.

Planes

Non-stop flights operate from major European hubs, Mexico City, Bogota, and select US destinations, including New York, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and Miami. There is a direct flight from Santiago to Puerto Natales, the closest airport to Awasi, run by LAN and Sky airlines; free transfers can be arranged from there to the hotel (1.5 hour drive).

Automobiles

Expect the distances in this part of the world to be epic – the nearest town, Puerto Natales, is a two-hour drive away. When you finally do arrive, there’s free parking on-site. A 4WD is recommended.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Guests are appointed a private guide and a 4WD vehicle to plan their programme of excursions, the most unmissable of which is the trek to the base of the Torres del Paine; it requires plenty of graft, but the views at the end more than make up for it. For those who prefer someone else to do the hard work for them, book a driving tour or horseback ride, where the sights will be equally spectacular and your legs don’t have to do anything. For an abridged version of a famous local trail and a chance to see the highlight of the extended route, head to the Valle del Francés and its monumental glacier; the excursion also takes in a catamaran trip across Lake Pehoe.
