The Best Hotels Near The Vines Resort & Spa, by the Record
-
Tucked into the Uco Valley on 1,500 acres of Andean vineyard, this modern resort holds 22 rustic-chic villas with private decks, stone bathrooms, and views of the mountains that make alarm clocks feel rude. Some have plunge pools or rooftop terraces; the two-bedroom comes with an outdoor clay tub facing the peaks. Francis Mallmann's open-flame restaurant is on-site, gauchos lead the horseback rides, and the infinity pool handles the rest. Getting here takes some doing, which turns out to suit the mood perfectly. The resort holds a Michelin Key.

A concrete-and-glass wine resort poised beside a reflecting lake in the Uco Valley, with Andean peaks as backdrop and organic vegetables growing on the roof above your head.

Horseback rides, a cedar sauna, and late steak dinners fill the gaps between bottles. It holds a Michelin Key.

Dome-shaped cabanas with private plunge pools, sitting on one of the largest wine estates in the world, with the snowcapped Andes as the backdrop. This intimate resort earns a Michelin Key, and the scale of the surroundings does most of the work: a thousand Mendoza wineries within reach, plus horses, mountain bikes, and a chef who handles the asado while you handle the Malbec.
