Perched along the sparkling shoreline of Lake Llanquihue is where you will find the Awa Hotel, a sublime piece of architecture that offers you the opportunity to experience a truly authentic lakeshore getaway. The hotel, 25-min ride from Puerto Varas, is surrounded by a private beach and marina and provides guests with easy access to a plethora of excursions ranging from fishing and birdwatching to climbing, zip-lining, kayaking, rafting and even private plane rides to the volcano.
The hotelier, who lives on-site, is himself an architect and designer, giving the property a very ‘labor of love’ feel, with every detail being carefully considered, right down to the diagonal orientation of the rooms and suites, which are positioned for privacy, views, and optimal sun exposure. Besides its picturesque setting, the hotel’s accommodation offers an equally spectacular experience, where you can unwind in spacious rooms that boast floor-to-ceiling windows, perfectly framing the views of the lake and the snow-capped Osorno volcano. Interior spaces are adorned with local crafts and artwork which truly reflect the essence of the region. Each of the 16 rooms are equipped with cable tv, fireplace, a super king bed or two twin beds and bathroom with separate shower and tub (some of which face Lake Llanquihue).
