Tierra Chiloé in Chile
Part of the isolated Chiloé Archipelago off Chile’s western coast, the namesake main island is a picturesque destination rich with natural beauty and culture. Colourful stilted houses, called palafitos, rise out of the water and, in a rare convergence, both Magellanic and Humboldt penguins can be seen at Chiloé National Park.
Chile’s family-run Tierra Hotels has one of its three properties here, the 24-room Tierra Chiloé Adventure and Spa Hotel. The wood-panelled rooms and suites are designed to honour the traditional aesthetic of the local fishing communities, and from oversized windows, you can look out across the coastline, wetlands and primordial forests.
To get here, travellers must fly to Puerto Montt (PMC) from Santiago (SCL), where Tierra will arrange a three-hour transfer to the property, including a 45-minute ferry across the Chacao Channel. A two-night stay starts at $1,550 (about £1,221) per person, based on double occupancy. The all-inclusive rate includes three daily meals, an open bar and two half-day excursions with other guests.
