South America's top beach resort, blending luxury with bohemian charm, marked by the Hand sculpture and Casapueblo.

📍 Destination Overview

Punta del Este, a resort in Uruguay's Maldonado Department where the Rio de la Plata meets the Atlantic, is called South America's St Tropez. In summer celebrities arrive and yachts fill the marina. The Hand sculpture is its icon, while the white Mediterranean-style Casapueblo glows at sunset. Isla de Lobos offers views of sea lions, and summer is at its liveliest.
