The labor of love of a Norwegian-Uruguayan billionaire, Estancia Vik is one of the most unique hotels near the former fishing village of Jose Ignacio, only a 15-minute drive from Punta del Este.
The Spanish-style colonial villa is set in splendid isolation amidst rolling grasslands on the shore of a lagoon. The villa combines contemporary design and whimsical artwork with natural materials such as stone and wood. Looking out over the sweeping countryside, each one of the 12 guest suites has been designed and decorated by a local artist. The Estancia’s restaurant specializes in regional cuisine and serves up outstanding Uruguayan steaks. And if you have always wanted to give polo a try, Estancia Vik offers lessons to even the most inexperienced rider. Guests of Estancia Vik have full access to sister property Playa Vik’s facilities and amenities.
