The Singular Patagonia is a truly singular adventure lodge.

“The Singular” might just be the most fitting hotel name on the planet. Indeed, the Singular Patagonia is a thoughtfully designed adventure-lodging outfit in the heart of Patagonia that will blow other guesthouses out of the fjord.
Crafted in two captivatingly sustainable pieces—one from the persevered remains of a landmark brick cold storage plant, and the other incorporating recycled materials with modern fixtures—the Singular Patagonia is, no doubt, one-of-a-kind. Chile’s adventure headquarters, the waterfront property is located on the historic mountain-ringed Fjord of Last Hope, just outside the country’s world-famous Torres del Paine National Park, and is still owned by descendants of pioneers of this sheep-farming mecca.
With exclusive access, hotel guides take guests by horseback into private reserves or along quiet stretches of river via kayak. “Riding horseback with a real Chilean gaucho who lives on the surrounding farm, with the Andes in background, makes you feels like an explorer,” says Lanny Grossman, spokesperson for The Singular.
Half- and full-day treks in the glacially carved Torres Del Paine are also part of the mix, along with some 20 other choose-your-own adventures, ranging from fly-fishing to mountain biking.
The Singular Patagonia houses 54 rooms and 3 suites, each with a 19-foot picture window.
Inside amenities are also eco-minded yet lux, featuring 57 rooms with a view, gourmet dining, a full spa, and indoor extras like cooking class, for when the weather goes from 65 and sunny to 30 with 100-mile-per-hour winds—a common occurrence here in the span of a single day.
The Singular Patagonia’s spa features a majestic view from the heated indoor/outdoor pool.
The Singular “full board,” which includes accommodations, spa use, meals, activities, and transportation, is a lofty $1,380 per night, but an a la carte option makes this once-in-a-lifetime lodging more obtainable. For $360 per night for a room and breakfast you can add on whatever food and fun you like, or go it alone into Torres or the nearby village of Puerto Natales. Another deal is this year’s International Patagonia Marathon package, running just $300 per night for event participants and companions, starting September 26.
