Luxury Holidays to Uruguay
Understated Elegance on South America’s Quiet Coast

Getting to Uruguay: Chic Access to a Serene Escape
Fly into Montevideo (MVD) or arrive via ferry from Buenos Aires, then travel in style by private car, helicopter, or domestic charter. Awake & Wander arranges VIP entry, luxury transfers, and seamless connections to Punta del Este, José Ignacio, or Carmelo’s wine region.
Best Time to Visit Uruguay for a Coastal-Luxe Break
Uruguay’s sweet spot is its summer season (December to March), when beach towns like Punta del Este and José Ignacio come alive with understated glamour. Autumn (April–May) is ideal for wine tourism and exploring the interior, while spring (September–November) offers pleasant weather with fewer visitors. Awake & Wander builds the perfect blend of coast, countryside, and culture.
