The Eolo, a Relais Chateaux property, is the only luxury lodge in El Calafate. Surrounded by a 4,000-hectare estate of valleys framed by the granite mountains Eolo will give you the true sense of Patagonia’s enormity.

Placed about half an hour west of El Calafate and along the way to the Perito Moreno Glacier, the lodge’s 17 cozy suites maximize the unparalleled views with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Inspired by the architecture of Patagonia’s estancias— the lodge’s interior has been designed with a minimalist yet impeccably tasteful style, making use of carved woods, refurbished antiques and leather to further enhance its home-like feel.

• Eolo includes on-site excursions that don’t require any additional transfers (such as hikes, mountain biking, birding or horseback riding) plan at least one day to enjoy some freedom of choice.
• The lodge closes its doors in winter from May through September.
• Availability is quite critical due to the popularity of this lodge. You have better odds of finding a booking during the shoulder season (April).
• For a minimum stay of 3 nights, you will get an extra night for free.
