Bahia Bustamante Lodge

Perched on the flabbergasting Patagonian coastline within 100,000 spectacularly biodiverse acres, Bahia Bustamante Lodge is a unique seaside lodge that has earned the feat of Argentina’s little-known answer to the Galapagos Islands.

Surrounded by petrified forests, sandy beaches, moonscapes and crystal-clear water, this area attracts everything from penguins and armadillos to sea lions and guanacos.

Its 12 cabins either face towards the steppe or the ocean, the latter being the most sought-after option, and each feature living rooms and kitchens and some with terraces, personal mountain bikes and miniature wineries. A restaurant serves a delicious and seasonal prescribed menu and the property, which is currently working towards producing Argentina’s first sea wine, is establishing itself as a foodie destination in its own right.
