Step inside for a luxury travel experienceWith serene, panoramic views of the inland sea, Pullao Bay and the Chiloé archipelago, Refugia Chiloé offers twenty-four elegant rooms and common area spaces designed to bring the outside in. The architecture and the interiors are inspired by the island’s rich culture, history and craftsmanship making for a luxury guest experience.
Find your luxury accommodationThe Island of Chiloé lies at the intersection of the Chilean Lake District and northern Patagonia off the Pacific coast of Chile. Refugia Chiloé offers guests a tapestry of on-land beauty such as rainforests, wetlands, meadows, and wildlife, as well as on-sea explorations by boat or kayak, sightings of sealife, and visits to tiny islands centered around distinctive old churches now preserved by UNESCO.
Plan your luxury vacationThe cuisine at Refugia Chiloé is prepared by the Chef and team of culinary artists. They love to feature the wonderful local produce picked from the hotel's gardens, meats of all types delivered from the nearby free-range animal farms, fish caught daily from the sea, or shellfish and sea urchins harvested from the bay and shore. Curanto, a legendary dish, is prepared weekly at Refugia. It is cooked in the ground and then enjoyed festival-style with live local musicians, giving guests an epicurean and cultural highlight.
Delicious farm-to-table diningThe Spa at Refugia offers a welcome stone-themed refuge after a day of exploration, with indoor and outdoor pools, terraces and views of the wildlife-rich Pullao bay and wetland. The seashell inspired wooden sauna, the steam room and the poolside lounges invite relaxation. Spa services, massages and facials are provided by a team of experts. Guests achieve even more serenity from Refugia’s wellness activities such as nature-bathing.

There are no televisions here – the idea is to relax and enjoy the view, perhaps borrow a book from the library area and soak up the feeling of peace.Sarah Gordon The Telegraph
