WELCOME TO HOTEL AWA
Set on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, with panoramic views of the Osorno Volcano, AWA is a modern, design-led hotel in Chile’s Northern Patagonia.
Owned and run by a local family, AWA is the first hotel in Chile to earn B Corp certification. Days here are built around your pace, kayaking on the lake, hiking volcanic trails, or simply taking in the views through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The hotel’s curated programmes combine food, nature, and culture with thoughtful detail. What stands out is the sense of place: every element, from the architecture to the excursions, is designed to connect you to Patagonia’s landscapes.

- The hotel’s B Corp certification, reflecting genuine commitment to sustainability.

What to do at Hotel AWA
Hotel AWA’s experiences offer a close connection to the lakes, volcanoes, and forests of Northern Patagonia.
Explore volcanic trails on foot, winding through dense native forest with views of snow-capped peaks and glacial rivers. Kayak across Lake Llanquihue, skimming along quiet shorelines and hidden inlets. Cycle through nearby villages, stopping to try local cheeses and chocolate.
For those looking to see the region from a different perspective, helicopter and seaplane tours reveal the dramatic scale of the landscapes. At day’s end, return to the hotel’s private beach or settle into the spa before a dinner that celebrates local flavours.
When to Travel
November to March
The best time to visit Hotel AWA is between November and March, when Patagonia’s summer brings mild temperatures (between 10–25°C) and long, clear days ideal for hiking, kayaking, and exploring. Autumn (April–May) is quieter and cooler, with golden landscapes and fewer visitors. Winter (June–August) can be cold and wet, and some excursions may be limited, though it’s a good time for snow-capped views and indoor comforts.
