Argentina Luxury Holidays

Argentina’s fast-paced way of life and vibrant personality may not initially appear to lend itself to a relaxing luxury holiday, yet one thing that the country has in spades is an undeniable ability to seduce travellers. With each Argentinian city possessing its own distinct personality, your luxury holiday can take many different forms. Buenos Aires is the dynamic and beautiful capital, boasting an impressive food and drink scene, with steak and red wine as the obvious stand-outs. The city is alive at all-hours and you’ll find porteños (Buenos Aires’ residents) frequenting restaurants at 9pm and nightclubs at 2am. Traditions are strong here and our expert guides can give you private tours of the city’s leafy boulevards, lined with elegant facades and vibrant street art. Head to the milongas (dance salons) to witness locals perfecting the art of the Argentine tango, or sample the traditional mate tea drink, enjoyed as a social custom. Mendoza – the country’s wine capital – is another colourful city, known for its art deco architecture and historic plazas. Days here can take a more laid-back pace, with in-depth vineyard tours, indulgent wine tastings and luxurious spa treatments.

While the cities are spectacular, our Argentina luxury holidays can take you beyond the buzzing metropolises to the awe-inspiring Andes Mountains, where you’ll find some of the mountain range’s highest peaks. Salta, in the heart of the Andes, is home to remarkably well-preserved colonial architecture and certainly lives up to its nickname ‘Salta la Linda’ (‘Salta the Beautiful’). A trail runs from here to the remote town of Cafayate, where you’ll really be able to immerse yourself in the local culture, with spa treatments which incorporate the by-products from wine making.

For even more breath-taking natural beauty, your itinerary can include a stay in Puerto Iguazu, near the iconic chain of waterfalls which link Brazil and Argentina. The region is one of outstanding natural beauty and the sight of the roaring falls cascading down the cliffside is unforgettable. A visit to the lush grasslands of the Pampas offers an insight into the traditional gaucho (cowboy) lifestyle; horseback riding is an essential part of the gaucho spirit and an activity you’ll be able to try for yourselves. Our Argentina luxury holidays allow you to get a taste of the country’s culture and character in style, with stays in a selection of chic boutique hotels, charming lodges and comfortable estancias. With our local Concierge on hand throughout your trip, we can provide all of the necessary ingredients for discovering this land of extraordinary contrasts.
