Accommodations

Our first stop is Estancia Vik, a haven of art, nature and high design built as a traditional Spanish style estancia, featuring white adobe walls and red tin roofs with covered walkways linking multiple outdoor courtyards and idyllic gardens. The expansive patios feature outdoor seating areas, sculpture installations, respites from the sun and a large organic herb garden. The south side of the Estancia boasts a large grass covered garden and 20-meter pool.

The Suites all feature full bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rain showers. Each suite has a unique design, integrating original art by leading contemporary Uruguayan artists.

After three nights in the countryside we will move to our beach accommodations at Bahia Vik, located next to the chic beach village of Jose Ignacio. Bahia Vik spans the beach dunes on Mansa Beach in José Ignacio, facing west with sweeping views across the Southern Atlantic Ocean. With open architecture and flowing spaces, spacious rooms and plenty of space to relax and soak in the South American sunshine (or shade), our ‘home away from home’ on the beach provides the perfect backdrop to take in the expansive pristine beaches, rugged landscape, exceptional sunsets, and relaxed bohemian style the area is known for.

Please note that we will not have all rooms at each location but are sharing the spaces with other discerning travelers.
