Travel & Leisure Readers' 5 Favorite Resorts in South America of 2023
The Winner: Playa Vik José Ignacio, Uruguay

To stay at this architectural marvel on Mansa Beach (located near the tony, once-fishing town of José Ignacio) means you'll have, as one guest put it, a front-row seat at "the best sunset" in Uruguay. Guests can either stay in the central Sculpture building or one of the six house-like casas, each with a fireplace and private garden. Days here are spent swimming in the 75-foot pool with views of the ocean, meeting other travelers at the family-style meals of Uruguayan dining, horseback riding, or simple lounging on the ebony terrace.
