Playa Vik

A striking architectural retreat in the heart of José Ignacio, one of Uruguay's most fashionable towns, Playa Vik is an ideal choice for a luxury holiday to Uruguay. Set on Playa Mansa with panoramic views of the Atlantic, this property balances bold contemporary design with one of South America's most captivating coastlines. The central Sculpture building, anchored by a dramatic bronze entrance by artist Pablo Atchugarry, frames vast ocean views and extraordinary sunsets. With just six 'casas' and absolute privacy, Playa Vik offers an exclusive escape for those seeking art, design, and sense of place.

Accommodation

Guests are housed in six individual casas and the central Sculpture building, each a showcase of contemporary design and curated artworks. Floor-to-ceiling glass, retractable windows, and private gardens bring the outdoors in, while communal areas such as the library and Italian-designed kitchen add a warm, residential feel.
