Outdoor activities are near-endless: on foot, in the water, or atop horses. Rooms (of which there are four kinds: Hacienda doubles, hotel rooms, villa suites, and the spacious Ruca suite, ascending in size) aren’t kitschy, or needlessly over-the-top.
Conde Nast Traveler, January 2025The first super-luxury hideaway amongst the dream-like grassy green vistas and snow-white volcano views of Pucón wows at every turn, from the exquisite food and plethora of adventure-soaked excursions to the rooms in which you could happily hide away for a year.
The Telegraph, July 2019We'd be hard-pressed to find a hotel in a more stunning - okay, downright breathtaking - location than this one... this beautifully designed lodging is in a blissfully peaceful corner of the country's Lake District.

Hotels Own Introduction
Welcome to Vira Vira: A Gateway to Adventure & Serenity
Nestled in Chile’s stunning Lake District, Vira Vira is a breathtaking 22-hectare (34-acre) estate in the homeland of the courageous Mapuche people. Here, glacial lakes reflect the towering, snow-capped volcanoes, while ancient Araucaria trees—some over 1,000 years old—stand tall in the surrounding rainforests. This extraordinary region serves as both the gateway to Patagonia and a haven for adventure seekers.
An Immersive Natural Retreat
Set along 822 meters (2,696 feet) of pristine riverfront, Vira Vira offers awe-inspiring views of the Villarica Volcano. Thoughtfully designed to blend with its surroundings, the lodge features expansive windows that frame the dramatic landscapes. Inside, handcrafted textiles, vibrant wall tapestries, and traditional Mapuche artifacts create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Signature experiences include a working farm, an organic farm-to-table vegetable garden, an on-site boutique cheese factory, and two outdoor hot tubs.
Luxury Accommodation with a Distinctive Charm
Overlooking the estate’s lush landscapes or the serene Liucura River, accommodations at Vira Vira offer an intimate connection with nature. Choose from six cozy suites, 12 split-level villas with private living spaces, or a five-bedroom Hacienda for exclusive use, accommodating up to 10 guests. Spacious interiors feature floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuite bathrooms with separate bathtubs and walk-in showers, and carefully curated décor, including richly textured rugs, handcrafted wall hangings, and artisanal furnishings.
At Vira Vira, every moment is an invitation to explore, unwind, and experience the soul of Chile’s Lake District.
