Jose Ignacio
Though just a short drive from the glamorous nightlife of Punta del Este, Jose Ignacio is an altogether sleepier, more laidback affair, with powder-soft sands and an eclectic coastline dotted with stylish mansions and fishing villages. While the glamour and glitz are more low-key than in Punta del Este, the town remains an exclusive, upmarket escape.

Water sports enthusiasts are spoilt for choice, with paddle boarding, surfing, kayaking and kite surfing, but Jose Ignacio’s sleepy pace of life lends itself well to languid days on the beach with nothing but a good book and a steady flow of refreshments.
