The world class South American beach resort of Punta del Este extends elegantly into the glistening waters off the coast of Uruguay. The golden sands, natural seaside homes, and world class cuisine attracts elite visitors, transforming the destination into the jet set’s playground. Often compared to the Hamptons, St. Tropez and Monaco, Punta del Este stands out for its unique landscape, combining the best of the city, the countryside, and the beach. The town’s vibrant nightlife keeps guests entertained into the early morning and the daylight hours are filled with horseback riding through the pristine nature, discovering the one-of-a-kind Casapueblo, and experiencing an authentic asado, a uniquely South American social event involving a barbecue.


In Punta del Este, readers uncover the various, can’t-miss towns dotting the region, each with their own distinct offerings: Las Piedras for the luxurious Fasano Hotel, Manantiales for unmatched surfing, Garzòn to experience the otherworldly cuisine of Francis Mallmann, and La Barra for some much-needed beachside relaxation. The mystique of Punta del Este will never cease to mesmerize.

Stella J. ★★★★★

I picked this up before a trip and the food writing alone was worth it — the descriptions of the local cuisine had me planning meals before I'd even booked a flight. The golden sands and seaside homes sections make it feel like a proper escape.

Isabella ★★★★★

The section on the seaside homes and local cuisine made me want to book a trip immediately. I've read plenty of travel books that just list beaches, but this one actually gives you a feel for the golden sands and the food scene.

Isabella ★★★★★

The photography really sells the place—the golden sands and seaside homes come through beautifully on every page. I've never been to Uruguay, but the sections on the local cuisine had me looking up flights. A gorgeous book to leave out on the coffee table.
