AWASI RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX
A collection of small luxury lodges located in some of the most exceptional destinations in South America: Atacama, Patagonia, Iguazú, Mendoza and Ponta dos Ganchos.
AWASI ARTIST IMMERSION
We collaborate with artists to help reinforce, through their creative practice, the value of the native ecosystems that Awasi works so diligently to preserve.
The natural landscapes, native flavours and encounter of the cultural heritage surrounding Awasi properties serve as both a source of inspiration and stimulation for artists’ creative development.

“For me, the Awasi experience was a magical tour de force. Spending a week as an artist in residence at this very special place in Argentina, near the borders of Brazil and Paraguay, opened my eyes, ears, and spirit to a fantastical adventure.
The hospitality and absolute charm of Awasi Iguazú and its hosts will forever be etched into my life. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the Awasi Artist Immersion.” – Rainer Gross
