History
Puro Vik is a cluster of seven glass bungalows launched in May 2019 within the VIK Chile estate in the Millahue Valley of Chile's Cachapoal region. It adjoins VIK Chile, the flagship retreat that opened in 2014 with a dramatic floating titanium roof, designed by architect Marcelo Daglio and inspired by the sculptural language of Frank Gehry and Richard Serra.
The estate was created by Norwegian-Uruguayan financier Alexander Vik and his wife Carrie, who named the valley Millahue — Mapuche for "place of gold." Each 75-square-metre bungalow is themed around contemporary art, and the wider property is a member of Relais & Châteaux, spanning roughly 11,000 acres and home to the VIK winery designed by Smiljan Radić.
