The Bahia Vik José Ignacio boutique hotel reflects the free spirit of what is perhaps Uruguay's most beautiful beach town with its unique, artistically designed suites and pools set amid the sand dunes. Each room is individually designed with striking patterns, bright, modern décor, and bold, often oversized artwork by numerous national and international artists. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, and four magnificent infinity pools are nestled in the dunes in front of the hotel to add a touch of extravagance to your vacation. With your feet in the sand, you can enjoy charcoal-grilled seafood and sip caipirinhas until the sun goes down.
From a total of four large infinity pools set into the dunes in front of the hotel, you can enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean at any time of the day or night. To pamper yourself, there are various spa treatments to choose from – or if you prefer adventure, you can take part in one of the many activities offered at Bahia Vik. Horseback riding, golf, tennis, surfing, polo lessons, kiteboarding, cycling, and canoeing are just a few of the options available to you here. Expert guides will also be happy to take you to some of the wilder landscapes of the region, which are teeming with native wildlife.
Bahia Vik has 49 suites spread across the main building and the bungalows directly on the beach. Each of the bungalows has its own individual exterior, artistically designed interior, and unique design concept. With artwork and furnishings covering a wide range of styles, all suites are individually decorated and feature spacious private bathrooms. Nestled in the breezy dunes of José Ignacio beach, the interior and exterior areas of the bungalows blend together to allow guests to enjoy nature to the fullest. The view of the sea with its picturesque dunes is truly priceless.
At the Uruguayan-Mediterranean bistro El Zodiaco, the sea is never far away thanks to the many windows, no matter which table you choose. You can also dine outdoors, either at the tables on the terrace or by the pools. Chef Marcelo Betancourt focuses on regional products when developing his menus, such as beef from nearby ranches, freshly caught fish, and organic fruit and vegetables grown on the sister estate Estancia Vik. House specialties include grilled baby octopus with kidney beans or braised lamb with broccoli, asparagus, and gremolata. In the evening, don't miss out on a caipirinha or frozen daiquiri at the hotel bar.
Approximately twelve kilometers from Punta del Este, the fantastic Bahia Vik stretches across the peninsula of José Ignacio. Here on the northeast coast of Uruguay, secluded beaches and lush vegetation await to enchant you. Just a two-hour drive from Montevideo International Airport, you will discover an unspoiled paradise that could hardly be more beautiful. The open and generously designed rooms and suites are characterized by a high degree of individuality and elegance. From your own terrace, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the blue sea.
