Refugia Chiloé

We expected to stay four nights but due to illness, stayed eight in total and the team at Chiloe could not have looked after us better. Amazing food, wonderful cocktails (so many non alcoholic due to medication), superb trips out with the guides and from our room we were able to watch the dolphins play in the water. A truly magical place to stay. The entire team were friendly, helpful, caring and made the extended stay less traumatic for us both. The daily hospital visits were made so much easier by Karen who helped with translation and was a complete star. So much kindness was shown to us, we felt like part of the family and leaving was really hard. One day we hope to return fully fit and able to make the most of the more energetic trips!

Wow! What a wonderful hotel. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and always smiling. The food is excellent. A beautiful hotel in a magical place with amazing people! Our stay at Tierra Chiloé is probably one of the best of any other vacation we've experienced around the world. Nothing was wrong.

I had read about Tierra Chiloe in a Conde Nast Article making the affirmation that it must be one of the coolest hotels in Chile. After going i really understood why!, Chiloe is an off the beaten track destination known mostly by chileans and birdwatchers, hopefully this will change since it is an amazing little island full of nature, history and local culture. This hotel is the perfect base to explore this unique island and i loved the architecture / decoration both things Tierra stands out for, its set on a peninsula overlooking a vast wetland coast a super romantic chill setting for a couple getaway and its hands down a foodie paradise, we were lucky to be able to visit the hotels orchard with the Chef who explained the diversity and abundance of local ingredients and for dinner one of the nights they did a Curanto a typical preparation from Chiloe with musicians outside in the hotels garden. Rooms are super cozy and have amazing views, the living room and dining room areas are spacious and you can really appreciate how well designed this hotel is and the detailed woodwork inspired by the typical island constructions. The excursions are varied and they even have a lovely boat for visiting different islands, do kayak and stand up paddle, there are e-bikes and horse riding. I saw austral dolphins right by the hotels dock while doing SUP!, and the day we went out on the boat after arriving from visitina a Unesco Church they had set up a delicious lunch on board. We also decided to go all out on this trip and we booked the hydroplane flight which was perfect to see the island of Chiloe from a different perspective and it arrived to pick us up right at the hotels dock!. Finally i need to share that when you come back from your activities the Spa is really out of this world with a very chic design, an indoor and outdoor pool, saunas, wonderful massages and the view from the infinity pool overlooking the wetlands is fantastic. Every day in the evening one of the waiters would appear while we were enjoying some reading and the views in the lobby area and offer a different appetizer with the cocktail of the day, once you tried them it was impossible to refuse the urge to see what the bartender and chef had created. I must also point out that i was really impressed by the kindness of the staff and the overall experience!. I absolutely recommend this hotel and would go back, it was a perfect relaxing romantic getaway and their signature gastronomy really surprised me and exceeded all of my expectations. A warm thank you to all the Tierra Chiloe team that made our trip super special!
