Torres del Paine, Chile

Awasi Patagonia

1 / 10

The takeaway

A private-reserve base for travelers who want Torres del Paine’s big landscapes explored on their own schedule, with a dedicated guide and vehicle.

About the hotel

Awasi Patagonia occupies a private reserve beside Torres del Paine National Park, where native lenga and ñirre forest shelters the lodge from the Patagonian wind. Its separate villas face the Paine range and Lake Sarmiento, giving the property a small-scale, landscape-first character. The defining way to explore is private rather than group-based: each room is assigned a guide and 4×4 vehicle for excursions shaped around guests’ interests. The lodge is seasonal, with a winter opening announced for 2027.

Choose it if

You’re drawn to wildlife and varied outdoor excursions, including hiking, horseback riding, and puma tracking.

Skip it if

You need a year-round stay: the lodge’s usual season runs October to April, with winter operation announced for 2027.
You’re traveling with a child under 10; Awasi’s lodge information states a minimum age of 10.

“Our guide, Jorge, was also a PERFECT fit for us and I know Alex communicated our preferences: he’s super active, helped us find exactly what hikes we wanted to do, and was beyond knowledgeable about flora/fauna, wildlife, and geologic history.”

“I didn’t mind the drive into the park everyday, it kind of felt like going on safari to start and end your days.”

“We were recently at Patagonia. I've been holding off with a review, but our guide was terrible. Didn't listen to what we wanted to do for hikes and he was consistently very far in front of us.”

“I have a friend that recently visited awasi Patagonia she had lots of expectations, even though the food and the villa were amazing, the restaurant experience was not that good, a lot of people without proper training”

Tierra Atacama

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Desert28 roomsSpa

On the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama, Tierra Atacama is a 28-room lodge set in the desert with views toward the Andes and Licancabur Volcano. It reopened on April 1, 2025, after a major refurbishment that retained adobe walls from the former cattle corral on the site. Days here are shaped around guided excursions into the high-altitude desert; back at the lodge, the open-grill restaurant, wine cellar and spa offer a quieter counterpoint to the landscape.

In La Peñita de Jaltemba, within Compostela municipality, Siari occupies a broad Pacific-coast setting of jungle, cliffs and beach—not Puerto Vallarta. Marriott describes the estate as 920 acres, while the hotel combines guest rooms and suites with separately presented villas, penthouses and residences. Its design draws on Wixárika traditions and local materials; the guest experience is shaped by ocean views, regional dining, wellness and outdoor activities. The setting is deliberately landscape-led, with the scale of a resort rather than a town-center hotel.
