Film Collection

Awasi is all about stories, culture, nature and moments. Over the years we have been creating a series of films to bring you a taste of The Awasi Experience. From short 10 second tastes to micro-documentaries focussing on the people and places that make our lodges what they are.

About the content

At Awasi, we love that feeling of surprise and wonder so reminiscent of childhood. One thing we all share from those former years is remembering the joy of discovering a secret gift, a little treasure for you alone to find. We believe that travelling is finding those little gifts in unexpected moments, and treasuring them to become valuable memories.



Art Immersions

At Awasi, we believe that Nature and Art are deeply intertwined. They are both valuable, fragile and essential for human beings.Over the last years, we have found ourselves collaborating increasingly with artists, providing a setting amongst nature where each one could find unique inspiration. Awasi was conceived from the idea that every journey should intimately connect us with nature to deeply discover new destinations and to enrich our own existence. May art and nature always inspire, elevate and transform us.
