It’s not too late to plan a winter beach escape in Punta del Este. After all, it’s summer down south. And there’s no better place to hit the sand than Grand Hotel Punta del Este.

Uruguay’s ultimate sun, sea and sand resort offers more than a dozen miles (20 km) of South Atlantic beaches.

Among the seaside burg’s urban attractions are the Puerto de Punta del Este and Museo Ralli, where the world-class art collection includes works by the likes of Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Alicia Carletti, John Robinson, Jorge Segui and many more.

There’s also vibrant shopping, dining and nightlife along the Avenida Gorlero, the city’s bustling main drag.

But with a pampering spa, heated indoor pool, excellent local and international cuisine, and spacious rooms with ocean views, you may not want to leave the Grand Hotel.
