Hotel Awa has luxurious rooms and a spa with stunning views of the lake and volcano Osorno in Chile's idyllic lake district.

Perched on the shores of Lake Llanquihue a short drive from Puerto Varas in Chile’s lake district, Hotel AWA is all about the views. Its ultra-contemporary design is offset by clever use of traditional local materials and attention to detail throughout its interior.

Its large, luxurious guestrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows to fully appreciate wonderful views of the waters of Lake Llanquihue and the snow-capped dome of Osorno volcano.

The spa comes equipped with a 25m lap pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub. There’s an inviting lounge, bar and restaurant. While you’ll probably prefer to dine in, Puerto Varas has a selection of restaurants if you plan to venture out for dinner.
