Luxury Holidays in Uruguay

Tucked between Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay is a country where colonial charm meets coastal glamour. Wander the cobbled streets of UNESCO-listed Colonia del Sacramento, where Portuguese and Spanish heritage blend, or experience Montevideo’s vibrant energy, from the historic Teatro Solís to the sizzling parrillas of Mercado del Puerto. Along the Atlantic coast, the bustling town of José Ignacio draws travellers to its pristine beaches and refined but laid-back atmosphere.

Beyond the coast, Uruguay’s pastoral heartland unfolds in sweeping pampas and traditional estancias, where gaucho culture remains deeply rooted. Ride through vast ranch lands under endless blue skies, then retreat to a boutique vineyard to taste the country’s acclaimed Tannat wines.

The artistic heart of Montevideo is reflected in its streets, adorned with art deco buildings and colonial relics—ideal for immersing yourself in the country’s rich history and culture. For a more laid-back yet luxurious experience, head to the barefoot elegance of Punta del Este and the upscale charm of José Ignacio. Here, you'll find surfer spots, stylish yoga studios, vibrant cocktail bars, boutique hotels, and sun-soaked terraces.
