Iconic Hotels

andBeyond Vira Vira is an exceptional luxury lodge located on a 22-hectare private estate along the banks of the Liucura River, just outside Pucón in Chile’s Lake District. Surrounded by native forests and with uninterrupted views of the snow-capped Villarrica Volcano, the property offers a highly immersive nature-based experience that combines refined hospitality, adventure, gastronomy and cultural discovery. Unlike a traditional hotel or resort, Vira Vira operates as a luxury experiential lodge where every stay is tailored to the interests and activity level of each guest. The property features a limited inventory of just 18 accommodations, including elegant suites, spacious villas and a private five-bedroom Hacienda, ensuring an intimate atmosphere and highly personalised service. Accommodation has been designed using natural materials, contemporary architecture and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise the connection with the surrounding landscape, while villas offer additional privacy, generous living spaces, fireplaces and outdoor hot tubs. One of the lodge’s defining characteristics is its working farm, which includes organic vegetable gardens, dairy production and an artisanal cheese factory, allowing the culinary team to create a genuine farm-to-table dining experience centred on seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the estate. Activities are fully customised and range from hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, fly fishing and rafting to more challenging adventures such as volcano ascents and heli-skiing during the winter months. Guests can also engage with the rich cultural heritage of the region through visits to local Mapuche communities, learning about indigenous traditions, crafts and gastronomy. Wellness is integrated naturally into the experience through yoga, massage treatments, outdoor hot tubs and the restorative qualities of the pristine natural environment rather than through a large-scale spa facility.  As part of the renowned andBeyond portfolio, Vira Vira also places a strong emphasis on sustainability, local community engagement and environmental stewardship, making it particularly appealing to sophisticated travellers seeking meaningful experiences, exceptional service and a deep connection with one of Chile’s most beautiful and diverse regions.
