Gourmet calm on a Patagonian lake

Las Balsas is a charming blue house on 17 hectares of woods, mountains and lakeshore on Nahuel Huapi Lake at Villa La Angostura in Argentine Patagonia, near Bariloche, with a private nature reserve and dock and lake views from every room. It has 20 rooms, from lakeview villas and corner and studio suites to a lakeside atelier. Dining is led by chef Duvan Ochoa, with Patagonian produce and Latin American and European influences as a Slow Food member, in traditional and vegan tasting menus, alongside a renowned tea time and a stone-and-cypress wine cellar with more than 150 labels. There is the Las Balsas Spa with lake views, a heated infinity pool, a year-round hot tub, a gym, yoga and tai chi and wellness retreats.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want an intimate, gourmet lakefront Patagonian retreat. Take a lakeview room in the blue house, dine on Patagonian tasting menus, and choose a wine from the cellar. Swim in the infinity pool, soak in the hot tub with the lake before you, and sail or kayak from the private dock. It is the first B Corp Relais & Chateaux and deeply sustainable. Best for couples and wellness and sustainability-minded travellers.
