Chile luxury flying adventure holiday

Tucked away in Santiago’s stylish Vitacura neighbourhood, Hotel Bidasoa is a real gem. Offering outstanding, nothing-is-too-much-trouble service and a warm art-deco vibe, it’s a hotel that caters to the most discerning of travellers. Here, you’ll find a calm ecologically sensitive urban sanctuary with easy access to the city’s top restaurants, boutiques and parks. The rooftop pool with views of the Andes is a large part of the attraction of staying at Bidasoa, as is the organic, locally sourced menu serving delicious dishes like beef brisket risotto and octopus with pejerrey.

Overlooking the rushing turquoise Futaleufu River in Chile’s Aysen region, Pata Lodge offers a refined immersion into Patagonian wilderness. Its sustainably built cabins blend rustic charm with understated elegance—think wood-burning stoves, panoramic windows and organic linens. Days begin with locally sourced breakfasts and continue with rafting trips, fly-fishing, horseback rides or riverside yoga. Evenings bring pisco sours by the fire and stargazing under skies untouched by light pollution. At Pata Lodge, luxury lies in the land: raw, rugged, and reverently preserved. It’s Patagonia, thoughtfully pared back to its purest form.

Set up on the shores of an alpine lake in Chile’s remote and majestic Corcovado National Park, a stay at our private wilderness camp is the stuff of legend. Reachable only by seaplane, your camp is exclusive to you. Though simple (and limited to what can be brought in by seaplane), it’s a comfortable camp, with the real luxury here being the experience. Isolated from all semblance of humanity, you’ll have the chance to fish, go wild swimming, search for puma footprints and hike to spectacular viewpoints before returning to a roaring fire, a barbecue accompanied by top Chilean wines and shared tales with a million stars overhead.

Hidden away in remote Pumalín National Park, Reñihue Lodge offers an intimate escape into Chilean Patagonia at its most magical. Once the home of conservationists Doug and Kristine Tompkins, and accessible only by boat or air, this off-grid eco-lodge pairs rustic elegance with purposeful conservation, and has just a handful of low-key but stylish rooms. Reñihue’s magnificent surroundings—pristine fjords, old-growth forests and glacier-fed rivers—form a playground offering superlative walking, wildlife observation and adventures by helicopter and boat—all guided by a deep respect for the environment.

Set along the Liucura River in Chile’s northern Lake District, andBeyond Vira Vira is an organic farm-turned-luxury lodge that pairs sleek architecture with warm, handcrafted details. A stay here is far more than retreating into luxury, though. It’s about superb guided hikes through monkey puzzle forests, horseback rides with local gauchos, helicopter adventures and farm-to-table meals crafted from on-site produce. If you’re looking to unplug in nature without sacrificing comfort—or want a deeper connection to place through food and landscape—Vira Vira is where you’ll find it.
