Best Resort
Tierra Patagonia, Torres del Paine, Chile
Designed by Cazu Zegers, Roberto Benavente, and Rodrigo Ferrer for Cazu Zegers
Set in a vast, awe-inspiring Patagonian landscape on the banks of Lake Sarmiento and with views of the mountains of Torres del Paine National Park, the low-slung, aerodynamic Tierra Patagonia is a deceptively modest building. The 40-room resort was built using locally sourced stone and wood, most of it left as raw and unadorned as possible; from the outside, the structure is meant to evoke the timeless shapes of sand dunes and driftwood, at one with its rugged setting; inside, fine wood paneling and traditional Chilean fabrics bring warmth to the simple yet luxurious rooms. All-inclusive; three-night minimum. $$$$$
