VIK Chile Retreat is a unique and stunning retreat located in the central area of Chile just two hours from Santiago. The luxury retreat is set on a hilltop in the middle of a valley with the Andes mountains in the distance. The hotel’s interesting architectural design features a floating, sculptural roof of bronzed titanium that was inspired by the mountains, the wind, and the work of legendary architect Frank Gehry and renowned artist Richard Serra.

The hotel’s 22 luxury rooms and seven glass-walled bungalows provide unobstructed views of the surrounding valley and nature, with additional amenities that include an infinity pool, the hotel’s signature glass-walled restaurant, and the VIK wine cellar, which is set within the vines and can be seen from the hotel.

The Wine Spa at VIK Chile Retreat offers guests a tranquil setting where they can relax while enjoying a selection of therapies and treatments that are designed to renew physical and mental energy. The spa's treatment products were developed from their vineyard terroir, where the polyphenols from VIK grape seeds and resveratrol from the vines provide superior anti-aging, moisturizing, nourishing, and anti-inflammatory properties. One of the spa’s highlights is the signature VIK wine bath, which includes a 20-minute session in a natural tub bath with a non-fermented wine that infuses skin with antioxidant properties.
