Amazing place! Excellent staff, esquisite food, extra comfortable and gorgeous rooms and a breath-taking landscape, with the majestic volcano Rukapillan/ Villarica. Quite pricey, but one of the best hotels I ever been to.

Absolutely fantastic multigenerational stay. Hacienda was perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. Exceptional food (too much of it!) and super activities - most included everyone but we were able to split up based on interest and activity level. Perfect spring break stay.
Lap of luxury on the Liucura River

We have never had such a luxurious experience as we had at &beyond Vira Vira. The villa was amazing, with a shower, indoor tub, and an outdoor tub right next to the Liucura River. All food and activities are included, and they are all top-notch. The location is idyllic, you can see a million stars at night. The emphasis is on sustainability, with no plastic being used, fruit and vegetables often grown on-site, and they even make their own cheese. The croissants at breakfast were fantastic. The staff bend over backwards to accommodate your every wish. All our tour guides and our fishing guide were incredibly informative, friendly, and helpful. We had a wonderful experience!

My wife and I spent 5 nights at &Beyond Vira Vira and had an excellent experience. Every single employee has clearly been trained to say “yes” when asked if a request could be accommodated. Every single person, from the front desk, to the bar, to the kitchen, to the guides, to the cleaning staff and to the maintenance personnel were friendly and professional. A special shout-out to Isadora. She was our guide for the entire trip. She took us white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, e-bike riding and a number of other adventures. She even tracked down a restaurant that serves a specific Chilean sandwich that I really wanted to try. She is a great asset to her company and really helped to make our trip special. Vira Vira is a small and intimate place, and we stayed one of their eleven or twelve villas. It was everything we could have asked for. They are situated strategically near a river that borders their property so that every view is of peace and serenity. The excursions we took were tailor made to our requests and abilities. The area around the lodge is beautiful and each activity was something to be remembered. I am not a fan of “all-inclusive”, but it is exceptional and definitely worth it at Vira Vira. The food was expertly prepared by a chef and kitchen staff that take pride in their work. Every single request we made was handled and remembered by the staff. As an example, I do not care for small coffee cups with even smaller handles. They immediately brought me a good size mug with a large handle. At every meal, they remembered and brought that mug automatically. This is but one of the ways they provided exceptional service. I could give any number of examples of how great our experience was, but suffice to say that we were impressed and will be back. Highly recommend.
