Punta del Este has international notoriety and is known by jet set life. But I can show you that it is much more than that...
Gorgeous beaches, lagoons, vast fields, wineries, charming shops and good restaurants. A place for those that are sport lovers and also for those that are looking for some peace and chilling out in the sand.

Mansa and Brava define the two sides of the city. Manantiales, Bikini Beach, Montoya, Jose Ignacio are some of the several beaches along the coast.
Plenty of small lagoons, you might watch a magic spectacle of kite surf, a gift for our eyes, believe me!
Further on the coast, the famous beach of Jose Ignacio has a singular charm. Wild beach with charming restaurants and small hotels. Book a table in La Huella in advance, always crowded. www.paradorlahuella.com
