Estancia Vik José Ignacio

Uruguay

Set on 4,000 acres of José Ignacio’s rolling countryside, Estancia Vik is a striking blend of art, nature, and high design close to Uruguay's trendy coastline. Overlooking the Arroyo and Laguna José Ignacio, this exclusive retreat is just 12 miles from Punta del Este. Designed by architect Marcelo Daglio, the Spanish colonial-style estancia celebrates Uruguayan heritage, reimagining a luxurious ranch with white adobe walls, red tin roofs, and expansive patios. With just 8 Suites and 4 Master Suites, Estancia Vik is an intimate retreat, complete with a striking pool, gym, polo field, tennis courts, and access to Bahia Vik’s amenities—an exceptional choice for a luxury holiday to Uruguay.

Each Suite and Master Suite is designed with private patio access and original artwork by leading Uruguayan artists. The 8 Suites offer 500 square feet of space on the ground level, while the 4 Master Suites span 900 square feet on the second floor, providing elevated comfort.

Food and Drink

Two distinct dining experiences celebrate Uruguay’s culinary heritage. The main dining room offers an à la carte menu, while the Asado restaurant showcases authentic Uruguayan barbecue traditions with family-style or three-course meals, including the signature “Gran Asado Uruguayo.”

Explore the landscape by kayak or bicycle, take in the region’s birdlife, or enjoy a game of tennis. Head to José Ignacio's trendy beach for a day of sun-soaked relaxation and leisurely strolls through the chic beach town—an idyllic setting for a luxury beach holiday in Uruguay. Additionally, guests can access amenities at Bahia Vik’s two sister properties, Bahia Vik and Playa Vik.
