Azuma Farm
Hidden within an eight-hectare grove in Japan, Azuma Farm offers a villa experience shaped by nature, privacy, and thoughtful design. Its collection of secluded villas is carefully integrated into the landscape, using locally sourced materials that reflect the character of the region. The Forest Villas invite guests to slow down among the trees, while the Garden Villas offer a more secluded retreat with spacious verandas overlooking the surrounding woodland. For travelers seeking a summer escape away from the crowds, Azuma Farm delivers the feeling of having an entire forest as their backyard.
Casa de Uco
Set among the vineyards of Argentina’s Uco Valley, with the Andes as a constant backdrop, Casa de Uco offers a private villa experience designed for travelers who value space, nature, and a slower pace. Located just steps from the resort’s main facilities, the villas combine the privacy of a standalone home with access to the property’s wine, dining, and wellness experiences. The two-bedroom villa, positioned beside a tranquil lagoon, features generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, creating a secluded retreat surrounded by vineyards and mountain views.
