Snow-capped Andean peaks above thermal pools. Also in the middle of northern Chile’s dramatic landscape? A Relais & Chateaux retreat like no other. This is an epic adventure of private guided excursions, grand accommodations, and gourmet dining. Your host is a Condé Nast Traveler favorite, of course.

Calling your free spirit without forgetting the comforts you adore, Awasi is a breath of fresh air in luxe living. Your neighbors might be exotic wildlife but your abode is refined. After a day exploring the Atacama desert with your personal guide on foot, mountain bike, horseback or by 4x4 jeep, soak in the scenes poolside with a glass of Chilean wine handpicked by master sommelier Hector Vergara.

Expect an authentic South American escape. Expect the trip of a lifetime.
