Carmelo Resort & Spa, A Hyatt Hotel

Located along Río de la Plata, the Carmelo Resort & Spa is a relaxing hideaway where you can enjoy Uruguay’s real natural beauty.

The hotel’s 44 rooms each feature a private terrace or balcony that overlooks the garden and out towards the river, vineyards or lush forests.

When you are peckish, Pura restaurant serves both local and international fare – the traditional Uruguayan barbecue comes highly recommended. For pre or post dinner drinks, relax at the Mandara Bar that looks out across the pool and vineyards. Al fresco dining is hard to beat at the Rio Bar which serves a locally inspired menu with fresh fish brought in from the Atlantic.

The overall feel is one of impeccable luxury and service captured in the intimacy of a countryside estate. When you’re not relaxing at the hotel, be sure to explore your surroundings. Hop on two wheels and cycle or opt for four legs and horse ride through the forests.
