This whitewashed 12-suite property with a red corrugated-iron roof is set on a magnificent 4,000-acre ranch with sweeping views toward an inland lagoon, a winding river and the sea. Aside from the spectacular setting, the main appeal of this profoundly peaceful place is equestrian activity. Spacious suites, each decorated by a contemporary Uruguayan artist, are furnished with antiques, cozy sofas, overstuffed chairs and woodburning fireplaces. Lodgings have private verandas with outdoor showers, but no TVs. Amenities include a long black-granite pool, a workout room, several small spa treatment rooms, a master salon and two grass tennis courts. The restaurant serves authentic Uruguayan barbecue fare in a brick-vaulted dining room. Unlimited equestrian activities for riders of all abilities are offered, including polo lessons and trail rides led by gaucho guides.
