Property Overview

Estancia Vik José Ignacio sprawls across 4,000 acres of rolling countryside, bordering the Arroyo and Laguna José Ignacio just twelve miles northeast of Punta del Este. Designed by Marcelo Daglio in a Spanish colonial style, the property pays genuine homage to Uruguayan heritage through white adobe walls, red tin roofs, and expansive patios overlooking an organic herb garden and a pool hewn from Absolute Nero stone. A luxurious interpretation of a traditional Uruguayan ranch, it sits within one of South America's most quietly captivating coastal landscapes.

Agent Tips

  • Don't miss out on the wild experience of riding through the landscapes on horseback during a full moon.
  • The Arroyo de José Ignacio is prime territory for canoeing, fishing, and birdwatching, located right on the estate's doorstep.
Accommodations

Art-filled spaces with private patios.

Estancia Vik's twelve rooms are split between eight ground-floor suites and four second-floor master suites, each with private patio access and original works by leading Uruguayan artists. The suites offer 500-square-feet of living space, while the master suites step up to 900 square feet with elevated views over the estate.
Pool + Gym

Countryside views from the infinity pool.

There's no better way to take in the surrounding landscapes than from the comfort of the beautiful infinity pool, perfect for a refreshing dip and surrounded by loungers for lazing. While Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio takes the time to build its own dedicated fitness center, you'll be able to use the gym at The Shack, located in the nearby sister resort, Bahia Vik.
Spa

Relaxation and well-being taken care of.

Estancia Vik will also grant you full access to TheShack Wellness Center, located at the neighboring Bahia Vik property.
Restaurant + Bar

A true taste of Uruguay.

Estancia Vik's two restaurants reflect the full range of Uruguayan culinary tradition. The dining room offers an à la carte menu rooted in local ingredients, while The Asador centers on the property's signature Gran Asado Uruguayo, a traditional open-fire feast that is reason enough to visit in itself. A private wine cellar rounds out the experience, with Vik wine tastings available for those who want to explore Uruguay's growing reputation as a serious wine destination.
  • Vibe
    Serene, rustic, and immersed in the nature outside.
  • Who's it for?
    Estancia Vik draws those who want space, stillness, and a genuine connection to the Uruguayan countryside. Families find room to spread out and activities to fill the days, solo travelers arrive looking for tranquility and leave with a deeper appreciation for this corner of South America, and couples will love the feelings of romantic seclusion.
  • Location
    José Ignacio sits about twelve miles northeast of Punta del Este — a bohemian-chic stretch of Uruguay's coastline that feels like Montauk or Comporta before the crowds arrived. Sandy lanes, local fishermen, and a vibrant dining scene give it a character that's hard to replicate. Estancia Vik's 4,000 acres border the Arroyo and Laguna José Ignacio, placing guests in the heart of this quietly captivating landscape. The nearest airport is Punta del Este, served by daily flights from Argentina and Brazil and equipped to handle private jets around the clock, with Estancia Vik just a thirty-minute drive along the coast. Montevideo is also an option, about an hour and a half away. Playa Vik, Bahia Vik, and La Susana are all within six miles of the property.
