Estancia Cristina, Patagonia

Tucked away in a remote glacial valley of Argentina Patagonia is ranch-style lodge Estancia Cristina.

The lodge is only accessible by a 3-hour cruise across Lago Argentino. Overnight guests enjoy the privacy of the catamaran upper deck while taking in the breathtaking colours of the water and icebergs along the way.

From the hosts to the expert guides you will feel warmly welcomed to this lodge hidden in the Los Glaciares National Park. There are only 20 guestrooms on the grounds, spaced across 5 cottages. Guest privacy, attention to detail and avoiding over-commercialisation has been thoroughly thought-out.

Explore the Bahia area of the park with a few hours of horse riding. And round it off  with a historical workshop of how this unique lodge came to be in 1914 while sipping on warm yerba mate.

The evening wouldn’t be complete without wholesome local food. After dining in the gourmet restaurant, retreat to your secluded cabin for scenic views from the panoramic bay windows in your room. Wildlife such as hares hopping around and the Cerro Norte mountains in the starlit sky is something not to be missed.

One thing no other place can offer is exclusive access to Upsala Glacier Lookout Point. Upsala is the largest glacier in South America, and it’s right at the doorstep of Estancia Cristina. This full-day trekking adventure will consist of extraordinary views of not only the glacier but also the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Enjoy historical stories from your guide as you make your way through Fossil Canyon, which dates back to the ice ages.

After a couple of full days of adventure, you’ll be warmly waved goodbye by your hosts as you sail away.

Two-night stay, full-board, with excursions from £1,200 per person.

Luxury Yoga Retreat

Project task

The client’s objective was to promote a luxury yoga retreat experience in the Alps. This was a high-ticket item.

The page had already been created and needed an in-depth review to improve the overall structure. Part of the task was to ensure that the story flowed, did not go off track too far and placing the call-to-action at the right moment of the page.

Project solution

Brand consistency, maintaining the voice of the message and immersing the reader in the luxurious location was key to keep the prospect reading to the end. My suggestion was to fully immerse the prospect in the story before speaking about the cost so they could get swept up in the idea of the retreat and really imagine themselves there.

Apart from grammar, stylistic changes and in-depth editing, I’d split some paragraphs to make the reading flow easier. I also removed information that went too far off the trail from the actual retreat.

Next, I suggested bolding and increasing the size of very important text: I put the contact email, some dates and texts in bold so that it was easy for readers to see. The call-to-action was made clear. If the reader wanted to take action and/or come back to the page later, it would help them a bit more with ‘quick-grab’ information that stood out. I’d also suggested making these a bit bigger so it stood out from the rest of the text.

Finally, I suggested some alterations and removal of an overflow of images. Image re-selection was an additional area that was reworked for the final touches.

The client was extremely happy with the work after the first draft that I shared, and I simply finalised that information in the format agreed upon before delivering the final project.
