MORE ABOUT URUGUAY

A mix of thriving multiculturalism, heady nights, artistic innovation, and tranquil South American vibes, Uruguay is a living, breathing example of a small country packing a big punch. In glorious Montevideo, the nation’s capital, you’ll meander bustling ferias, sip rejuvenating mate, and eat yourself into a stupor on the Rambla. Pastel cars and candy-coloured houses, brocaded in white stone, give way to stunning hinterlands and bristling nature. Luxurious and invigorating, Uruguay is not to be missed.

HOTELS OF GLITZ AND GRANDEUR

The quiet estancias and old-world grandeur of Uruguay’s hotels – from the city heat to coastal tranquility – set the gold standard for South American luxury. Our personal favourite is the parillero at Vik, where a colossal fire pit is used to cook chargrilled steaks straight to your plate. Rustic, yet comfortable, Uruguay knows how to put you at ease.
