GATHERINGS & OCCASIONS

Some experiences begin with a place. Others, with an idea.

Las Balsas becomes the setting. The occasion is yours. A Relais & Châteaux hotel with twenty rooms and villas, a private lakeshore, a kitchen led by Chef Duván Ochoa — all available exclusively for those who choose to gather here.

EXPLORE THE SPACES

BEFORE YOU BEGIN PLANNING

Not a venue.
A place that hosts.

There is no conference wing, no banquet hall, no generic function room. There is the dining room with its view of Nahuel Huapi, the terrace for aperitivos as the sun drops behind the Andes, the private dock for ceremonies, and a forest reserve for those who want the outdoors as part of the occasion.

The scale is intimate by design — which means any gathering here is private by default. Twenty rooms. The kitchen, the cellar, and the team are all part of what you get. The landscape is the rest.

THE OCCASIONS

Every occasion is different here.

Because the scale is intimate and the team is small, Las Balsas can be shaped around almost any occasion — without ever feeling like a venue that has hosted the same thing a hundred times before.

CEREMONIES · HONEYMOONS

Weddings & Ceremonies

A private dock on a glacial lake, settings that holds the whole party, a chef who designs the menu from scratch. Las Balsas accommodates intimate ceremonies of up to 50 guests — the kind of scale where everyone knows everyone, and the landscape does the rest.

THREE GENERATIONS WELCOME

Family Gatherings

The hotel accommodates up to 46 guests across its ten Lodge rooms and ten villas. A family that takes the whole property has the lake, the kitchen, the spa, the forest, and the staff to themselves. Breakfast on the terrace every morning. Dinner by the fire every night.

SMALL GROUPS · SHARED PURPOSE

Friends Expeditions

A group of friends who want the Patagonian landscape as a base — the Arrayanes Forest, Cerro Bayo, the Ruta de los Siete Lagos — and Las Balsas as the place to return to at the end of each day. Private excursions, shared dinners, the cellar open for the evening.

PRIVATE GROUPS · SHARED FOCUS

Corporate Retreats

A small group with a shared purpose and the whole hotel to themselves. The morning in the reserve, the afternoon around the table. No distractions, no other guests, no agenda that the landscape doesn't quietly rearrange. Some conversations are better had far from the office.

PRIVATE GROUP HIRE · FULL PROPERTY

Exclusive Use of Las Balsas

The entire hotel — all twenty rooms and villas, the restaurant, the spa, the dock, the reserve — available exclusively to one group. The staff remains; the programme becomes yours. For those who want Patagonia without sharing it. Minimum stay and group size apply.

GASTRONOMY · THE CELLAR OPEN

Private Dinners

Chef Duván Ochoa designs the menu from scratch — not the tasting menu adapted, but something built around the group, the season, and what Patagonia is offering that week. The dining room, the terrace, the dock, or the forest reserve. Each location changes the dinner completely.

HOW IT WORKS

No fixed packages. Only a conversation.

Las Balsas does not have a standard events menu. What we have is a team, a kitchen, a cellar, and a landscape — and the ability to arrange almost anything around them.

Every gathering at Las Balsas is designed around the group, the occasion, and the season. The conversation starts with what you have in mind and ends with a proposal that fits it.
