Luxury Argentina Holidays

Click on a region to view the closest luxury hotels and itineraries

Argentines are known as the show-offs of South America, but we really can't blame them. The country boasts the magnificent Andes to the west, the splendiferous Iguassu Falls to the tropical northeast, and to the south, Patagonia, with its vast steppe, sub antarctic wildlife, lakes and glaciers. And that's without mentioning Buenos Aires, the best steaks in the world and luxury estancias with wine cellars to die for. See what we mean?

Buenos Aires
Old world meets new in this buzzing European-style city that radiates charisma. Take one of our off-the-beaten track tours to get under her skin. Stay at Francis Ford Coppola's private retreat, Jardin Escondido, or at Legado Mitico, a chic, boutique option.

Cordoba
Head to the Cordoba hills for authentic working ranches-come-luxury hotels that offer riding, hiking, biking or simply relax by the pool and soak up the splendid view.

Iguassu and Ibera
Don’t miss Iguassu, the must-see waterfalls on the Argentine-Brazilian border. Orient Express owned Das Cataratas is the hot hotel here. Wildlife fans will love the Ibera Marshes, a little visited wetland in the northeast teeming with birds and animals.

Mendoza
Handsome town with a glorious Andean backdrop, and some fab vineyards for all you budding wine experts. Why not try the Cavas WIne Lodge?

Salta
Head northwest and find the original Argentina. Indigenous communities, colourful towns and dramatic Andean landscapes dotted with cactae.

Valdes Peninsula
Penguins, sea lions, elephant seals, whales – and the Welsh! This Patagonian peninsula is home to a huge array of wildlife and a Welsh community dating back to 1865. See Southern Right Whales from June to November and a lucky few can spot beaching orcas from December to April.

Lake District
Pretty-as-a-picture, the Argentine lakes are perfect for outdoorsy types (think hiking, world-class fishing, horse riding and golf), and with a couple of gorgeous luxury spa hotels, indoorsy types won’t be disappointed either.

Southern Patagonia
Spellbinding Los Glaciares National Park is a must: trek on the awesome Perito Moreno glacier or watch giant blocks of ice crash to the water. Los Cerros above the town of El Chalten is a trekkers paradise. Go south again to the end of the world and Ushuaia, a university town and gateway to Antarctica, and explore some stunning national parks.
