Only a few years ago, the Uruguayan coastal town of Jose Ignacio was a simple fishing village. Today it gushes with boho chic and fills up with folk in-the-know from around the globe. The vibe is laid back even during the packed high-season, and offers the opportunity to stay in what are I have found to be some of the... More

beautiful accommodations showcasing the very talented artists in the area.Each room unique and a work of art itself! Service was wonderful and all staff were delightful--especially the general manager,Agustin and Max, who oversees the Estancia and the Vik. We had a great time, kayaking, horseback riding, trips into town etc.! I hope I will be able to visit again! More

I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH ESTANCIA VIK!!!! All Vik hotels are absolutely amazing.

Each room was completely unique and made you feel artistic just being in them! This hotel is one... More

I'm not the type of person that that writes reviews of their vacations, takes pictures of their meals or thinks about following up on customer satisfaction issues, good or bad. However, my wife and I recently returned from our first exploration trip to Jose Ignacio, Uruguay where we had the pleasure of staying at the Estancia Vik as well as... More

Yes. Estancia Vik is a luxurious hotel. Very luxurious. Its location is outstanding. A 10min drive from Jose Ignacio, in the middle of an astonishing piece of land, criss crossed by the lagune and covered with horses and cows slowly grazing the day away.

Highly recommend this lovely hotel. Very peaceful, lovely surroundings and good service. Only moan is that breakfast is rather Spartan and lunch options are relayed by staff whose English is poor. Would suggest a written menu in English and Spanish-most of the guests are English speaking-with more light options. It is very hot here and serving a meat main course... More

Our suite was a living art gallery in itself, and every morning for three days we arose to watch the sun emerge over the rolling prairie as the herd of horses returned from pasture galloping past our balcony. I could still smell the fireplace in our suite that warmed us as we went to bed. Pure bliss and the day... More

I recently stayed at Estancia Vik with two friends for four days. It was a unique and wonderful experience. If you are looking for a place to escape to, away from the world, this is it. 1. Location- Amazing location set on a ranch with views to die for. 2. Hotel- The most beautiful grounds and architecture. Every corner you... More

My husband and I spent a week over Christmas with our two boys aged 12 and 14 at the Estancia. I cannot say enough great words about Estancia Vik and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I travel obsessively and I can honestly say that this is one of the most unique and best experiences I've had so... More
