Laid-Back, Liberal, and Limitlessly Beautiful

The smallest country in South America and the only one entirely outside of the tropics, Uruguay is one versatile jewel, whether you seek unspoiled coastline or scenester beach clubs, eccentric hotels designed like giant sculptures or saddling up for a horse ride with a gaucho. It’s the perfect destination both for a lover’s jaunt or a relaxed family holiday.

One of the most liberal and progressive countries in the world, it has an even more laid-back culture than its popular neighbours.

Signature Experiences in Uruguay

Rent a stylish beach villa and join the jet set in José Ignacio, the Hamptons of South America.
Explore boutique wineries and olive groves in charming Carmelo, or linger over an all-day lunch at La Huella, the world’s best beach bar.
Watch spectacular sunsets from Casapueblo in Punta del Este, then dine alfresco by firelight at Marismo on flame-grilled chipirones and slow-braised lamb.

Finally, learn the art of polo with private tuition at a luxury ranch — the perfect blend of elegance and adventure.

Idyllic Beaches

The beaches are idyllic, its wineries sleeker and more under-the-radar, and its crumbly colonial towns quieter and more understated.

Sun, Surf, and Serenity

Whether your aim is to work on your tan on Uruguay’s cobalt coasts, take a road trip to hippy villages and surfing hotspots, ride horses across the pampas plains or simply settle in to a rustic estancia for a lengthy asado lunch, wherever you go, we can assure you it will be “muy tranquilo.”
