Zárate · Buenos Aires Province · Argentina
A private estancia, small groups, horses at dawn. Not a resort — just two friends sharing the Argentina they grew up dreaming about.
Valentin and Nicolas — 27 years old, one Franco-Argentine, one Argentine. We found a premium private estancia on the banks of the Río Paraná in Zárate and turned it into something we'd want to experience ourselves.
Small groups only. Real polo alongside professionals. Gauchos at work. Long asados under the ombú trees. Horses at dawn. Not a resort. Not a package tour. Just two friends, an estancia, and an open invitation.

Founders, Arion Polo Club
Every day at Arion is unrepeatable. Here's what makes it that way.
Alongside professionals from day one. Chukkers, one-on-one lessons, open practice on a full-sized field. Mallets, helmets, ponies — all provided. No level required.
Slow mornings by the Río Paraná. Open skies, gauchos at work, and the unhurried rhythm of a working estancia. Beyond polo, the region opens up to dorado fishing on the Paraná, traditional hunting excursions, birdwatching, river outings and quiet afternoons in the hammock — authentic Argentine country living, tailored to you.
Slow-cooked over open wood fire, watched over by a gaucho with a lifetime of practice. Empanadas, chimichurri, Malbec under the ombú trees. A ritual that takes all afternoon.
Sunrise across the open pampas on horseback. Whether your first ride or hundredth, these horses carry something the land has given them. You will feel it immediately.
"Arion is not a holiday.
It is an invitation to live — fully, freely, Argentina."— Valentin & Nicolas, Founders
Every day is a little different. This is just one possibility.
Wake to birdsong and the sound of horses. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Río Paraná. Out to the field — chukkers, stable time, or simply watching the ponies being readied.
Polo alongside professionals, or a private lesson. Lunch follows Argentine time — slow, inevitable. Wood-fire asado, empanadas criolla, Malbec that stretches the afternoon long.
The golden hour is yours. A sunset ride, a cold glass on the terrace. Dinner at the long table — unhurried, always with good wine and better company.
Personalise
Arrive with nothing but yourself. Every stay is fully all-inclusive. Custom extensions available on request.
You don't have to play polo to fall in love with Arion. Every stay is built around you — whether you come for the horses, the river, the food, or simply to disappear from the world for a while.
From your first chukker to high-goal practice. All levels welcome, every horse and mallet provided.
Catch the legendary golden dorado on the Río Paraná with local guides who have fished these waters for decades.
Traditional dove and bird hunting in season, guided by local gauchos in the surrounding countryside.
Slow-fire asado, empanadas, Malbec under the ombú. The afternoon ritual that becomes the highlight of your day.
Boat outings on the Paraná delta, sunsets over the islands, picnics on hidden riverbanks.
Hammocks, gardens, horseback rides at dawn, and the silence only the pampas can give you.
Optional city extensions: tango, art, the best parrillas, private guides through Palermo and San Telmo.
Honeymoon? Family reunion? Corporate retreat? Tell us the dream — we build the trip around it.
"The best week of our lives. Valentin and Nicolas treat you like old friends from the moment you arrive."— Marc & Sophie, France 🇫🇷
"I had never held a mallet in my life. By day three I was playing chukkers. The horses, the food, the river at sunset — already planning to come back."— James, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
"We came as a family of six. Some rode, some fished, some read in the hammock. Every single day was perfect for everyone."— The Müller Family, Germany 🇩🇪
