At a Glance
A two-hour drive south of Santiago in Millahue Valley, Vik Chile is part adventureland, part design hotel and part wine retreat—a perfect blend, if you will. On a hilltop overlooking 4,300 acres of vineyards and forests—with the Andes towering in the distance—the resort’s 29 high-design suites each showcase a unique theme and artwork, mostly created by Chilean artists. Seven of these suites, known as “Puro Vik,” are stand-alone, glass-box bungalows. On-site activities include horseback riding, cooking classes, trekking and stargazing, but many guests choose to skip those in favor of total relaxation by the cantilevered infinity pool, or in the spa, where treatments feature Vik wine by-products. Meals here consist of ingredients sourced mostly from the hotel’s garden at the Milla Milla and Pavilion restaurants (accompanied by Vik wines, of course). For travelers who have just explored the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia and Atacama, Vik Chile offers a “wow” conclusion to a Chilean adventure.
