Estancia Vik José Ignacio, Maldonado

José Ignacio, Uruguay

Estancia Vik José Ignacio is an artistic estancia on the Atlantic

If you dream of a Uruguay that combines the elegance of a private estate, contemporary art and the atmosphere of an authentic estancia, Estancia Vik José Ignacio is one of the most extraordinary addresses in South America. Located just minutes from fashionable José Ignacio, the hotel is surrounded by vast pampas, lakes, and equestrian areas, and the Atlantic Ocean is just a short drive away. The entire property encompasses approximately 1600 hectares of private grounds, allowing guests to enjoy virtually unlimited space and complete privacy.

Estancia Vik is not like a typical hotel. It is an intimate residence with only 12 apartments, each individually designed by renowned Uruguayan artists and architects. The interiors are filled with original paintings, sculptures, and designer furniture, giving each suite its own character and unique atmosphere.

Atmospheric architecture – a holiday in Uruguay surrounded by art

The architecture evokes traditional Spanish estancias with their white walls and red roofs, but inside, a modern interpretation of Uruguayan luxury awaits. A central lounge with monumental works of art, lush courtyards, and a spectacular black granite swimming pool create a unique space for relaxation.

A stay at Estancia Vik is all about experiences. You can go horseback riding with local gauchos, try a game of polo, cycle through the pampas, kayak, birdwatch, or fish in the José Ignacio Lagoon. Guests also have access to a tennis court, spa, gym, and extensive walking areas.

The hotel restaurant celebrates Uruguayan culinary traditions. Seasonal produce from local producers, excellent grilled beef, fresh seafood, and excellent Uruguayan wines dominate the menu. Fireside dinners, wine tastings, and the famous asado are among the highlights of your stay.
