Set within a 60-acre private vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo, this celebrated Relais & Chateaux property offers effortless access to some of Mendoza’s finest bodegas while remaining wonderfully removed from the world.

Its whitewashed walls and terracotta roofs are a modest nod to the Andean foothills that rise on the horizon. At its core is the cava, the wine cellar from which the lodge takes its name, anchoring a main house steeped in Spanish colonial character.

Scattered discreetly amongst the vines, each 900-square-foot apartment is a self-contained retreat, with plunge pools that invite you to linger and terraces where the sunsets burn in colours that seem too vivid to name.
