Rio Palena Lodge

Patagonia, Chile

Tucked away deep within the untouched wilderness of the Andes, this Chilean retreat is a tapestry of local craftsmanship merged with global influences. Textiles from the Ile de Chiloé, hand-dyed with natural vegetable pigments, lend vibrant authenticity to the headboards, while thick Patagonian rugs bring warmth and texture to the bedrooms. Each bathroom features bespoke cement tiles inspired by the historic entryways of Santiago. The lounge is anchored by a striking abstract painting and filled with comfortable, inviting furnishings. Vintage textile pillows infuse the rooms with character, and organic accents like a twisted tree trunk floor lamp provide a distinctive artistic edge. The result is a thoughtfully designed haven, offering a comforting retreat after a day of exhilarating adventure.
