Awasi Patagonia

The indomitable land of giants, just for you… We invite you to an encounter with this land like with no other; to sense and “fuse” with this realm. This is Awasi – situated in a 15,000-acre private reserve adjacent to the Torres del Paine National Park. You will have a privileged and intimate connection with the iconic peaks. Here you are at one with the wild, witnessing the immensity of the ice flows, the majesty of the mountains and the expansiveness of the crystalline lakes. Let’s review why we at Surtrek love this place, and what made British explorer Florence Dixie slow down, sense, and get inspired… You will understand why this is arguably one of the best hotels in Patagonia.

Perhaps, we should rather say that Awasi is one of the most unique hotels in Patagonia, if not the entire country of Chile. The location, once again, allows one to enjoy Lake Sarmiento and the imposing views of the Torres del Paine’s peaks. Dotting one of the hillsides on the reserve, it consists of 14 stylish villas along with a larger communal lodge that houses the dining room, a bar and a sitting area. All of the individual villas have large windows looking out over Lake Sarmiento and the iconic granite peaks of the Paine Massif, allowing you to take in the sights of llama-like guanacos, ñandús (flightless rheas), foxes, condors and – occasionally – pumas. Each villa boasts a comfortable and spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, as well as a hot tub from which you can soak-in memorable views as you look across glacial lakes and vast steppes right from your bath.

As a lodge (or rather “outpost”) recognized by Relais & Chateaux, its gastronomical philosophy is taken beyond. Its chef, Federico Ziegler, invites you to “Taste the Flavors of The End of the World”. Here, in the kitchen, we can appreciate how Awasi is meticulous in every detail. This passion is extended throughout the complex and service – all for you to fully-immerse into this land. From the bath you take, the coffee you sip from your very own living room, the “After the Snow” (signature cocktail using frozen stones from Lake Sarmiento), the lonely walk to the vast landscape… Each detail will complement your experience to one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on earth. Add to this our tailoring for your customized trip, and we thus have a truly unique journey to Patagonia Chile – to the End of the World.

This land has always been attractive for the most intrepid explorers. However with Awasi revolutionizing the region, now we have family friendly hotels in Patagonia. It has also been popularizing among the “romantics” too; after all, what better way to set forth onto a journey together where both can get inspired and share deep and meaningful experiences? Hence, it has become a popular hotel in Patagonia for couples. Thanks to its flexibility and high standard of service, Awasi delivers us a truly unique hotel to base from, and tailor an exceptional journey.
