Awasi Patagonia - Relais & Chateaux

"Twelve villas blending rustic charm with modern luxury, designed to maximize views of the Torres del Paine landscape." - Mark Fedeli

"We all dream of dropping off the map. Here’s a place you can actually do that: the wonderfully isolated region of Patagonia. Awasi is the southernmost Relais & Chateaux in the world. The main attraction is the setting itself, and the 14 private villas are located between the Torres del Paine Mountain Range, the Patagonian Steppe, and Lake Sarmiento (all littered with guanacos, puma, and condors). The minimal footprint of the hotel on the grounds makes it all the more epic. Take your own private guide and 4WD vehicle for some serious exploration. Then head back for a raging fire and hot tub." (Starting $4,400/night)

"While it would be easy for this year’s winner to rely on the stunning scenery that surrounds it to attract visitors, this Relais & Châteaux property doesn’t rest on those natural laurels. Minimalist villas with private wood-fired hot tubs tucked into the hillside are the key to its understated luxury, along with intuitive service, excellent food and wine, and exciting excursions. As one reader put it, “Awasi is in a league of its own.” Another gushed, “They curated our experience with a private guide based on our likes and dislikes. After staying with Awasi, I realized there is no other way to experience Patagonia.”" - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Awasi Patagonia offers incredible views of the park's granite peaks and allows guests to focus on each other's company due to spotty Wi-Fi." - Travel + Leisure Editors
