Sacromonte Landscape Hotel

Sacromonte is a craft wine and landscape hotel set in the Sierra de Carapé, in Uruguay’s indigenous highlands. With only four contemporary shelters on a 250-acre estate, the experience is exclusive, immersive, and deliberately low-impact. Its architecture and viticulture are rooted in sustainability, creating a bold yet grounded destination. Ideal for those considering luxury vacations to Uruguay, it’s a place where wine, design and nature come together to create a unique getaway.

Accommodation

The hotel’s four mirrored shelters offer striking modern architecture. Each sits in a separate corner of the estate, by the lake, within the vineyard, or overlooking the valley, and includes a private terrace and plunge pool. Interiors feature expansive glass walls that let you take in the sunrise without leaving your bed.

Food and Drink

Produce is sourced directly from the on-site organic gardens and served at a hilltop communal table. Meals feature meats cooked over fire, and evenings are reserved for wine tastings overlooking the very vines from which the wines were made. The estate is also home to the highest vineyard in Uruguay, which has been producing award-winning wines since 2014.

Experiences

Wine is central to the property, from tastings with views of the Maldonado mountains to private tours of the century-old winery in Jacksonville, Montevideo. Guests can also explore the estate on horseback or on guided hikes through the indigenous mountain landscape. For days when you don't feel like exploring, relax on your terrace and enjoy the uninterrupted views with a book in hand.

Sustainability

Sacromonte is founded on a strong environmental and social ethos, with plans to operate fully on renewable energy. Current initiatives include wastewater treatment systems, chemical-free farming, and the use of sustainable construction materials. Its model champions low-impact, high-quality hospitality.

The best time to visit Sacromonte is during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to April), when mild temperatures and clear skies offer perfect conditions for enjoying the surrounding landscapes.
