Extraordinary experience, remarkable atmosphere and great hikes. We truly enjoyed the stay despite the cold and bad weather

This place is amazing. The location is secluded and private and quiet. With spectacular views and ambiance. The food is Michelin-level if it hasn't been rated yet. The quality and variety and flavors are top notch. The service is attentive without being intrusive, anticipating needs and remembering likes/dislikes. They are very well trained professional staff with a clear goal of making the guest enjoy his/her visit. I would compare it to Four Seasons Manele Bay (Hawaii, USA).

Truly an outstanding experience! My husband and I stayed in an Esmerelda villa and it was gorgeous, the service was perfect, food and wine top-notch. It was just a gorgeous relaxing and calm resort where every need is cared for without it feeling like effort. We were in Sao Paulo for business and wanted to get away for a few days but didnt think Rio would be relaxing, so we choose Awasi, very very smart choice. I would go back in an instant.

We had such a wonderful time there – stunning views, a full sense of privacy at the villa, and everything you need on-site. We really wanted to go to the local restaurant everyone recommended to us, but we couldn't force ourselves to leave the resort.

We spent a weekend at this beautiful resort. Location is incredible, the villas are spacious and have all the amenities you can think of, including a private sauna and plunge pool. The view from the room was amazing. The food is glorious and original. The best part was the personalized service and how nice and friendly is the staff, from the gardeners, maids, waiters, and tour guides. Everybody goes out if the way to make this a memorable stay. They even allowed us a late checkout at no extra cost. An unforgettable weekend. We will be sure to recommend this to all our friends in Chile.
