Playa Brava (Fierce Beach), one of Uruguay’s very best beaches, features excellent waves and a spacious shoreline that make it a coveted venue for lovers of water sports such as surfing and paddle-boarding. The many hotels along the coastline cater both to those participating in surfing tournaments, competitive volleyball, or other sports activities; and to sunbathers and swimmers just relaxing in this Uruguayan Punta del Este classic. Another highlight of Playa Brava is “Los Dedos” (The Fingers) artistic landmark created by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal; a giant sculpture of a hand that seems to be emerging from the sand. A little further down south along the peninsula are other smaller beaches that widen up visitors options. If you want to know more about Punta del Este and its many appeals, visit our website vmelite.com

Canoes were the primary means of transportation of many of the native peoples of Uruguay. Among these were the Guaraní people, who left a rich legacy of native names given to different geographical features they discovered when navigating through their land. Aiguá (Running Water), Batoví (Virgin’s Bosom), Cebollatí (River of Onions), Cuareim (River that Sprouts from a Hole) and, of course, Uruguay, which means “River of the Painted Birds”, are all words with Guaraní origins that are used nowadays. Enjoy a Canoe adventure on Estancia Anastasio’s Lagoon, sailing across natural reserves and appreciating the enormous variety of birds that live in its surroundings. You may even spot some mammals, such as capybaras, armadillos, or one of the shy deer that live in the native forests around.

Gleaming white in the sun and cascading thirteen stories down a cliffside, Casapueblo, Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró’s exuberantly whimsical villa, hotel, workshop and art gallery, sits atop Punta Ballena, a jutting headland 15km west of Punta del Este. A maze of rooms and terraces, this South American landmark is more like a small Greek village than a house. The Workshop Museum operates in the center of the great construction and exhibits the works of this multifaceted artist and muralist par excellence, featuring paintings, ceramics and sculptures made at different stages of his artistic career. Along the route, through five rooms and three terraces, the concept of handcrafted architecture is perceived in its passageways, paths, archways, or embedded objects in its walls. Visitors may watch a film on the artist’s life and travels, and savor spectacular sunset views at the upstairs cafeteria-bar.

Located on Mansa Beach in José Ignacio, on the most coveted point of the Uruguayan coastline, Playa VIK features panoramic views of the landscape and ocean beyond.

The building’s inclined façade presents a vast sliding wall of glass that allows guests to enjoy the majestic views of José Ignacio’s vibrant coastline.

Set on a seemingly endless landscape of plains, and about an hour away from Punta del Este in Uruguay, Estancia VIK José Ignacio is the all-white, art-adorned dream home of a half-Norwegian, half-Uruguayan billionaire with a taste for isolation, contemporary design, and chargrilled meat. Each of its 12 suites has been designed and decorated by a local artist, and if your interests include polo, barbecues, modern art, outdoor pursuits, or sun-soaking lethargy, this is the place. Swimming pool, polo field, tennis courts, putting green, spa, sauna and steam room, organic gardens, horseback riding, watersports, and a private beach deck at nearby Playa VIK José Ignacio... this impressive accommodation experience really has it all.

The beautiful Hotel L’Auberge is a peaceful sanctuary in the tranquility of Parque del Golf residential neighborhood, just 2 blocks from Brava Beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay. This romantic hotel was originally constructed in 1947 by architect Arturo J. Dubourg as an elegant tearoom, guarded by a magnificent Tudor-style water tower. Some months later, the hotel was built, with 10 elegant classic English-style, bright and cozy rooms. No two rooms are the same; all of them include special touches in their decoration, where antiques and works of art peacefully blend with the most modern comforts. Nowadays, Hotel L’Auberge may easily be considered one of the most iconic places in Punta del Este.

The picturesque seaside city of Punta del Este - a 1.5 hour’s drive from Montevideo- is quickly becoming the Monte Carlo of South America. This resort town on the coast of Uruguay has an international reputation for its glamorous nightlife. From its sandy coastline to its busy city streets, this true gem offers luxury everywhere you turn. However, there’s much more to it than nightclubs and 20 miles of beaches. Besides, it’s also a quiet corner in one of the most laid-back countries in South America, relatively remote and surrounded by nature and vast spaces of land, water, and sky.

Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, is a charming city, a metropolitan oasis where the rural countryside has an effect on the mellow pace of city life. It may be small in size, but it’s immense in terms of history, beauty and culture. Once a fortified citadel, the Ciudad Vieja (Old City) is surrounded by traces of the original city walls erected in 1741 and full of history and cultural attractions. Beyond the historic core, visitors may stroll along the coastline on the longest continuous sidewalk in the world, relax on many sandy beaches, visit countless museums, or sway to carnival rhythms year-round. If you want to visit the city with the highest quality of life in Latin America, let’s plan your bespoke Uruguayan adventure. Visit our website vmelite.com

After almost two centuries of existence, one of South America’s smallest countries is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Progressive, stable, safe, and culturally sophisticated, Uruguay offers visitors opportunities to experience a range of laid-back everyday moments; whether cantering along plains and hills gathering cattle with “gaucho” cowboys; getting lost on a dirt road to nowhere; enjoying the white sands of endless uncrowded beaches; or strolling with mate-toting locals along Montevideo’s beachfront.

The vast and rugged landscapes of Patagonia have been explored on horseback for centuries, and still today, “gaucho” cowboys prefer to do everything on the back of a horse. Nowadays visitors, both novice and experienced riders, can also feel the thrill and excitement of riding through the Andes or across the steppe on a range of horseback adventures. From stays at “estancia” ranches -where you can get to ride accompanying “gauchos” on their daily tasks- to full-day experiences in different regions and sectors, Patagonia is a horseback riding paradise.

Llao Llao Resort and Spa is located on its own peninsula in Argentine Patagonia, about 30 mins from the centre of Bariloche, and surrounded by stunning national park.

Much of the hotel feels like an old hunting lodge, with plenty of heavy wood used throughout, antlers adorning the walls, and very grand hallways and dining areas.

A string of enchanting mountain towns runs along mythical Route 40 in Argentine Patagonia, each possessing its own particular beauty and charm.

Both spectacular and dramatic, the Argentine Lake District is one of the prime adventure destinations in Patagonia. The magnificent combination of shimmering lakes, the jagged peaks of the Andes, and the imposing presence of Lanin Volcano, are the setting for endless fun in nature.

There’s no single best time to visit Argentine Patagonia. In general terms, November through March, during summertime in the southern hemisphere, is always a great time to plan a visit, but you might also consider July or August if you prefer crisper weather and wintry landscapes. Although there is warmth and longer days both on the Chilean and Argentine sides during summertime, night frosts and sleet can occur in the highlands even during warm season… Such are the ways of Patagonia, extreme and radical year-round!

Bolivia stands out as a very culturally diverse nation that has kept the magic of the past alive, making it a fascinating and exotic destination for travelers who want to experience something truly unparalleled and off-the-beaten-path. Its colonial buildings, ancient ruins and vibrant culture reflect a rich millenary heritage, where most people still speak the ancient dialects of the Andes and follow old-time traditions. Its prodigious natural landscapes and urban centers inserted in spectacular sceneries are second-to-none. Some of the amazing record-holding destinations you may visit as part of our luxury tailor-made journeys are Uyuni Salt Flat (the largest salt flat in the world), Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable lake on Earth), La Paz (the highest capital city), and many National Parks that shelter some of the highest biodiversities on the planet.

National Heritage The Singular Hotel / Bories Cold Storage Plant Museum - A century ago, and long before the city of Puerto Natales became a gateway towards Patagonia for worldwide visitors and a ferry terminal for Chile’s northern fjord-land territory, neighboring Puerto Bories was the processing point and warehouse for wool and meat exports that helped provide supplies for the entirety of southernmost Argentina and Chile. Now, transformed into a globally renowned luxury hotel, it is an interesting blend of old and new, history and modern comfort, which has treasured and kept reminiscences of old times making it bot a top-notch accommodation and a museum. Add this historical stay to your autumntime Patagonian journey and re-live a very important part of this remote meridional territory's history. @thesingularhotels

It was a week of unprecedented thought leadership and insightful discussions bringing together the leading minds in high-end travel who also had the chance to make new friendships to last a lifetime. All in partnership with @purepursuits @elevenexperience @iconicadventures m

Road trips mean untold adventures, widescreen wilderness and striking out on your own. On this journey, trace South America's highest peaks on a road trip from Argentina to Chile. Taking the ride across the Andes border twice, Stanley Stewart writes, 'I was in Buenos Aires and I had decided to go to the Atacama Desert and the Pacific coastline in Chile. I could have flown, of course, but I wanted to go the long way, by road across the Andes, through the spectacular mountain passes between Argentina and Chile. The Pacific was merely a destination. The Andes were the journey.' In this video, see the skeletal landscape of the South American desert, secret stretches of coast and otherworldly dunes with summits and valleys.
