Its setting puts the Paine Massif, Lake Sarmiento, forest, and open pampa in the foreground, with the nearest urban center three hours away. This is a place for travelers who prefer a private base and planned days outdoors to a conventional resort itinerary.
Designed by Chilean architect Felipe Assadi and completed in 2014, the property uses cabin-like forms drawn from traditional Patagonian shelters, finished in a restrained modern style. Large windows make the landscape part of the interior. The main lodge supplies a restaurant and comfortable lounges, while each villa has a private terrace and hot tub. Every guest receives a personal guide and 4x4 vehicle, allowing excursions to follow conditions and interests rather than a group schedule. The guest-only restaurant serves a daily menu based on local ingredients and adapts it to individual requirements. MICHELIN awards Awasi Patagonia three Keys, and La Liste gives it 99.0, fitting its appeal for experienced wilderness travelers who value privacy, architecture, and precise hospitality.
