"Come summer, South American society types and European jetsetters flock to Punta del Este, the glitzy resort and mini-city by the sea where yachts outnumber fishing boats. But if for some reason rubbing shoulders with Argentine twentysomethings in designer swimwear isn’t your thing, don’t fret: you can experience the region’s natural glory from nearby Jose Ignacio, a relaxed beach village that’s home to a handful of cool restaurants and inns. The most desirable of the selection (at least judging by its popularity — the place is always booked months ahead of time) is La Posada del Faro. The twelve-room boutique, perched on a quiet stretch of sand, radiates laid-back sophistication and beachhouse-style warmth." - Tablet Hotels
