Awasi, comes from the quechua word "wasi", that means "house".

In the remote corners of the South American continent — where guardian mountains rise, eternal ice lingers, stars burn brighter, the jungle whispers with wonder and clear crystal beaches glisten in the sun — Awasi Lodges was born to curate your journey.

How it’s started

The remoteness encourages the use of local ingredients, including those sourced from the icy seas and lakes to the West, and foraged over the Patagonian plains themselves.

2020

New destinations same spirit

Between 2013 and 2018, Awasi expanded to include lodges in Patagonia and Iguazú, deepening its commitment to tailor-made explorations designed to create memorable, personal and authentic experiences. With each new opening, we fostered a symbiotic relationship with local communities by providing employment opportunities and creating platforms that support their growth and showcase their talents.

2022

Awasi, comes from the quechua word "wasi", that means "house". In 2007, Awasi Atacama was born – the first of five very different, unique, intimate and exclusive lodges.

Awasi Lodges’ design is inspired by native culture and history offering private Villa stays that ensure authenticity, comfort and connection to the surroundings. Rooted in a deep respect for nature, the brand aimed to promote sustainability through low-impact explorations and environmentally conscious operations.

New roots in South America

As part of our journey to reach new corners of the continent and offer unique experiences, we welcomed Awasi Santa Catarina (2024) in Southern Brazil, and Awasi Mendoza (2025), in Western Argentina, into the Awasi family.

Uncountable talents

Our staff create first impressions, accompany our guests on their adventures and strive to exceed expectations — sending them home with unforgettable memories.

Our team is made of passionate people who are proud ambassadors of these lands. Each of them is a key component of the Awasi Lodges.
