A unique retreat spectacularly located on the banks of the Salto Chico waterfall and beneath the imposing peaks of Cordillera del Paine in the vastness of Torres del Paine National Park. Guests can enjoy many included guided activities before returning to the hotel which has been perfectly designed to offer luxurious comfort in a magical untouched landscape. The Casa de Baños del Ona or 'Ona Bath House' features a heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna and four outdoor Jacuzzis. Healthy yet delicious local dishes, produced using locally sourced ingredients, are served at the Explora's restaurant while gauchos prepare succulent meats such as Patagonian Lamb in the barbecue area. Wines from all of Chile's main wine producing regions are available to accompany the mouthwatering cuisine. Owned by explora, the Estancia 2 de Enero is located 33 miles from the lodge. Here guests can witness gauchos carrying out traditional tasks such as shearing sheep, driving livestock and breaking in horses. Closer to the lodge are the hotel's stables which offer a number of different horse rides in the Patagonian wilderness, including a ride to the estancia.
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.
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.
