A little beach shack which rustles up the most delicious smoothie bowls. A rainbow of fruit, this is the spot to go to if you're craving something sweet, fresh, healthy, and refreshing. There's nothing better on a warm day.

Architecturally magnificent, Aguaverde blends 18th century charm with superb modernism. From the stone walls, and regal interiors, to the open glass windows and cement ceilings, not to mention the gardens. Nestled within rows of vineyards, it's safe to say this is a hotel with a view. 

Though you may very well be in the seaside paradise of Punta del Este, Bungalow Suizo is an ode to the hearty dishes of Swiss cuisine. From the classic swiss potatoes and fondue bourguignonne, Bungalow Suizo has been rustling up a slice of Switzerland since 1960. With a stellar wine menu, settle down for an evening on the outdoor patio and soak up the sun. 

The landscape is breathtaking, the wine even more so. Amongst the rolling hills and luscious greenery is the Bodega Garzón, which is not only a sustainable winery but also a top spot for some delicious food. Cooked on an open flame, stop by for lunch before walking amongst the vines. 

Nature is at the heart of this hidden getaway. Haras Las Tordillas offers a true countryside retreat, the cabins are cosy, and the views just marvellous. Be prepared to hop on horseback and explore the most hidden of places. 

When a clothing store stocks pretty much everything you would dream of wearing, then you know it has to be a good one. ROTUNDA is a chic design, fashion and concept store which does just this. Find your next perfect addition to your wardrobe. 

Whether or not you're staying at this beautiful hotel, don't miss out on a day at one of the most luxurious beach clubs in Punta del Este. Overlooking the Maldonado River, spend the day basking in the sun, lounging by the sea, and for when you're feeling peckish enjoying a bite to eat from the bar. 

We think this may just be the place with the very best view in Punta del Este. Located in Punta Ballena, on a picturesque peninsula is the Club Hotel Casapueblo, also home to Las Terrazas. Grab a drink here and watch the sunset overlooking the ocean; we promise it won't disappoint!
