Awasi Patagonia

The extraordinary lurks around every corner of Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park, and the rustic charm of Awasi provides a spectacular base from which to get better acquainted.

Awasi Patagonia is nestled in a private reserve overlooking Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Just 12 villas and a main lodge make up this isolated retreat, and each villa is assigned a private guide and four-wheel drive jeep so guests are free to explore at their own pace, without an itinerary. These guest accommodations perfectly straddle the line between rustic and modern, with hot tubs and wood burning stoves providing a warm welcome following a day spent in nature.

Guests are far from the hustle and bustle of daily life here, and an internet connection is only available via satellite in the main lodge. Instead, some good old fashioned socializing is encouraged, either by a roaring fireplace in the hotel bar, or during one of the amazing meals cooked up in the kitchen.

Under the watchful gaze of Executive Chef Federico Ziegler, Awasi is becoming an outpost for gourmet dining in one of the world's most remote locales. The area's eclectic flora and fauna form the backbone of the kitchen's ingredients, creating dishes that are both original and mouth-watering. A well stocked wine cellar provides the perfect pairing for a memorable evening.
