Explora Hotel Salto Chico
Torres del Paine, Patagonia
Undeniably the most luxurious lodge in Chile's stunning Torres del Paine
National Park, Explora is more than just a lovely property: it's an entire
concept. With Explora's approach, guests stay on a full board basis and
each day they choose from a range of outdoor activities provided by the
lodge's expert guides. The lodge boasts what may very well be the most
dazzling view on the entire continent of South America -- the modern-style
property is perched on the edge of Lake Pekoe against the dramatic background
of Patagonia's soaring peaks. Spend all day trekking or horseback riding
through this spectacular park before returning to the splendid luxury
and simple coziness of the lodge. You may wish to sip on some exquisite
Chilean wine while you watch the sunset.

Remota
Puerto Natales, Patagonia
Striking views of glacier-topped peaks and endless expanses of surrounding water create the isolated feel of this gorgeous (and aptly-named) Patagonian property. Chilean architect Germán del Sol employed a minimalist design using local materials, which allows the landscape to capture the attention of visitors. Guest rooms are in keeping with this modern motif: generous airy spaces with expansive views, slate floors, and indigenous artifacts from Remota's private collection. Exceptional service, an exquisite spa, and a menu that utilizes the freshest produce from organic local producers add to Remota's allure, but the real appeal lies in the activities outside your door: hiking, biking, kayaking and horseback riding are the best ways to take in Chilean Patagonia's natural beauty. |

Explora Hotel de Larache
Atacama Desert
Don't expect to sacrifice comfort just because you're in one of the driest
and most remote spots in the world! Explora en Atacama is a modern hotel
that mimics the layout of a small town built around a central patio - we
think that the otherworldly desert landscape must have informed the lodge's
funky futuristic design. Everything that guests need to enjoy their time
in Atacama - touring, meals, snacks, and cocktails - is included with a
stay here. Each day, the lodge offers a variety of outings geared to various
interests and degrees of fitness, so you can pick and choose what you'd
like to do. Four interconnected pools and a number of outdoor seating areas
encourage guests to get outside and enjoy the magnificent surroundings.
We also recommend taking advantage of the telescopes on the rooftop "observatory" to get a better look at the canopy of stars above.

Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa
Atacama Desert
This new addition to Atacama's blossoming luxury hotel landscape boasts a modern/chic aesthetic that still manages to blend harmoniously with the environment. There are only 30 rooms at the property, each with a magnificent view of the surrounding desert. Highlights include outdoor rainforest showers and a fabulous spa and pool that offers sweet relief from the intense sun. After spending a day enjoying the many activities on offer (including horseback riding, biking, hiking and visiting the geysers), head back to the hotel for a tasty meal and a glass of wine. Please note that tours at Tierra Atacama are conducted on a small-group basis but privately guided touring can be arranged upon request. A perfectly stylish choice for families or honeymooners!

Awasi
Atacama Desert
An oasis of luxury in the driest desert in the world, Awasi offers guests comfort and world-class hospitality against a backdrop of salt marshes, soaring volcanoes, and sand dunes. Blending seamlessly with its environment, Awasi has eight stone, adobe, and wood cottages, each featuring a spacious sitting area, indoor and outdoor showers and a private patio with lounge chairs. The interior pays tribute to its surroundings by using natural materials, brightly colored artisan rugs and local artwork to decorate the rooms. The variety of activities offered ranges from llama caravans to river hikes and, perhaps most importantly, each cottage gets its own personal guide and 4WD vehicle. After a full day of exploration, satisfy your hunger with innovative cuisine that showcases traditional local foods paired with fine Chilean and international wines.

Lapostolle Residence
Colchagua Valley
Located in a wine region that is often called “the next Napa,” Lapostolle Residence offers four guesthouses, a term that does not do justice to just how luxurious these charming freestanding casitas are, each with a vaulted ceiling, wraparound terrace, and magnificent views of the surrounding vineyards. Guests can journey along the wine route to visit any or all of the 12 wineries on the trail, go horseback riding through the vineyards alongside an authentic huaso (Chilean cowboy), take a dip in the breathtaking infinity pool, or visit several local museums that document the regional history. In the evenings, they can head to the modern-looking main guest house to enjoy gourmet food with Colchagua Valley wine and, of course, the unbeatable views. |

Explora en Rapa Nui
Easter Island
Perched on a hilltop on the remotest inhabited island on the planet, Explora en Rapa Nui’s location is unparalleled – and that is just the beginning of what is to love above this stunning property. Built with a major commitment to preserving the land, design efforts such as building with local materials like volcanic stone and wood have trumped Explora en Rapa Nui as one of the most respected “green” lodges. Each of the thirty rooms overlook the Pacific Ocean with floor-to-ceiling windows which beckon visitors outside. Insightful guides and unique excursions are truly one-of-a-kind, including treks to remote Hanga Oteo crater, local volcanoes, and learn first-hand about the mysterious Rapa Nui people and the Moai stone statues.

Cavas Wine Lodge
Mendoza
Reachable only by dirt road, the secluded Cavas Wine Lodge is set amongst thirty-five acres of breathtaking vineyards at the foothills of the Andes’ snowcapped mountains. Wine connoisseurs will not be disappointed with a wine cellar stocked with Argentina’s finest labels, daily wine tastings, and even a luxurious Moorish spa that offers “vinotherapy” treatments. Each of the fourteen adobe-style cabanas are dotted within the vineyards themselves for ultimate privacy, but guests will soon discover their rooms are not just for sleeping; equipped with a fireplace, roof deck and private plunge pool, they double as the perfect spot to soak in the natural beauty around them with a glass of Malbec in hand. In addition to local wine tasting, the area is excellent for bike riding and golf.

The Aubrey
Santiago
Santiago’s answer to the boutique hotel, The Aubrey was once home to Domingo Durán, a Chilean railway tycoon, and guests will undoubtedly still feel like they are amongst the elite. No two rooms in the restored mansion are alike, which only adds to the charm of the elegant property, which has been carefully restored to retain its vintage charm but made more current with stylish furnishings, fresh flowers, crystal chandeliers, a heated pool and even soundproofed rooms. Conveniently located in the Bohemian Bellavistra district, historic sites such as La Chascona museum and Parque Metropolitano’s railway are just a stone’s throw away as are a buzzing nightlife and colorful restaurants. But sleep-deprived guests will not have to go far for a delicious meal, as the property’s onsite Restaurant Pasta e Vino has already become a local staple.
