Nestled in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, Clos Apalta Residence is a Relais & Châteaux retreat offering ten villas and casitas surrounded by the vineyards of the renowned Clos Apalta wine estate.
Each residence features generous living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces, while select villas include plunge pools overlooking the vineyards and the Andes foothills. The property suits couples or small groups seeking a peaceful, immersive stay with easy access to wine tastings, cellar tours and guided walks across the estate. You can enjoy seasonal Chilean cuisine with French flair, a wellness area with pool and hammam, and self-guided trekking or cycling in the private natural reserve. With its refined comfort, sweeping views and cosy setting, Clos Apalta Residence offers a quietly elegant base for exploring one of Latin America’s most celebrated wine regions.
Accommodation
Clos Apalta Residence features six hillside villas and four casitas, each designed for privacy and comfort. The villas include a large bedroom, a sitting room with a desk and kitchenette, a dressing room, a bathroom and an outdoor plunge pool, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the vineyards and the Andes foothills. The casitas offer a comfortable retreat surrounded by native forest, with space to read or enjoy a glass of wine by the fire as sunlight dances across the vines.
Dining
Clos Apalta Restaurant
At the residence, the private restaurant serves seasonal Chilean dishes alongside the estate’s celebrated wines. Using the finest local, farm-to-fork ingredients, each meal reflects the vineyard and surrounding nature reserve, with fresh flavours and attentive service that makes every lunch or dinner feel thoughtfully prepared just for you.
Casa Parrón
Set in a historic building amid the vines, Casa Parrón offers lunches framed by the estate’s native forest and vineyards. You can savour the wine estate’s own creations while enjoying its sense of place, accompanied by sweeping views across the terroir that nurtures each bottle.
Activities
Clos Apalta Residence sits within a private natural reserve, where vineyards and native forest coexist with local wildlife. You can explore the land on guided walks or mountain bike rides through the estate, while birdwatching reveals the region’s seasonal species. You could also enjoy a dip in the outdoor pool, relax in the jacuzzi or sauna, or book an in-room massage. Wine enthusiasts can tour the iconic Clos Apalta Winery and enjoy tastings, while cooking and cocktail classes, horseback riding, tennis, stargazing and market visits with the chef offer a full programme of engaging activities to dive into.
