The Singular Patagonia, as its name would suggest, is a one-of-a-kind hotel which boasts a magnificent location on the shore of the Última Esperanza Sound, just outside the outdoor adventure capital of Patagonia, Puerto Natales. From the moment you arrive at this early 20th-Century former industrial meat-processing plant you will be impressed by the unique architecture and warm welcome. The building’s history is evident with a collection of factory artifacts throughout – The Singular is very much part hotel and part museum. Spending time in Chilean Patagonia is all about exploring the great outdoors, a concept that is actively encouraged at The Singular. You can partake in a wide range of excursions and tours, all of which are included in your stay, and head into the wilds of Patagonia on a trekking, cycling or horse riding excursion. The hotel also owns a speed boat which you can board from The Singular’s own dock and join a navigation of the awe-inspiring Patagonia Fjords. On your return it’s time to indulge at The Singular Spa which offers health and beauty therapies and features a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool, steamroom and a sauna. Dining here is an experience in itself with a particularly spectacular setting – The Singular Restaurant. Dishes are crafted using locally sourced ingredients and can be enjoyed with delicious Chilean wines at The Singular Restaurant, all of which are included. Patagonian lamb and hare and South American king crab are particular local delicacies. There’s also El Asador where guests can dine on meats cooked over the open wood grill.
The modern architecture of the Tierra Patagonia is striking, yet it blends seamlessly into the natural environment of the dramatic Torres del Paine National Park. Set back from the shore of Lake Sarmiento, this beautiful hotel provides breath-taking views of the parks' famous peaks, Lago Sarmiento and the windswept Chilean landscapes. It’s all about getting out and exploring the wilds of the National Park, and with a wide range of included excursions you can fully embrace the adventurous ethos the Tierra brand stands for. A selection of multi-night packages are available and you can choose the excursions that suit your tastes and interests. Explore the wilderness either on foot, horseback, bicycle or 4x4 vehicle before returning to your luxury wilderness lodge and unwinding at the Uma spa where a selection of massage therapies, facial treatments and bath rituals is available. In the charming dining room you can enjoy simple, yet delectable cuisine which includes seafood that’s sourced from the Straits of Magellan and Beagle Channel, and lamb and beef from the local estancias alongside a range of vegetarian options. There are just 40 rooms and suites at the Tierra Patagonia, giving the property a rather exclusive feel. Each of the rooms overlooks the Patagonian landscapes through large picture windows and they provide a real sense of place with locally-crafted furnishings and textiles. The cosy, yet chic Standard Rooms feature a bathtub in the room, allowing you to soak in the tub which soaking up the views. The Superior Rooms overlook the lake and the iconic mountain peaks beyond. We particularly love the split-level suites which feature a peaceful and cosy living room on the mezzanine floor.
With a setting on the edge of Lake Toro and within 84,000 acres of pristine Patagonian wilderness, this certainly isn’t your average glamping experience. Each of the camp’s 20 deluxe yurts, all built using the most eco-friendly methods, has awe-inspiring views out over the water and towards the peaks of Torres National Park in the distance. When you aren’t soaking in the solitude of private spot of Patagonia, you’ll be out on one of the included excursions – which range from full-day treks to kayaking trips – or sharing adventures in the cosy, yet modern common areas. These include a restaurant where you can enjoy dishes created using the region’s finest produce, and a bar and lounge.
