JIG, Uruguay

VIK - Curiocity's newest addition to their private villas collection, is a one-of-a kind beach paradise with the best location in José Ignacio. Everything about the property is thought-enhancing. From the outside, one cannot help to look at it and then look at it a little more. It just does that to you.

But it's not only the "bizzare" architecture - with the Japaneese -looking grass roofs that has locals raising an eyebrow, it's the interior design, the art, the breathtaking views, the details. The courage to do something that has nothing to do with the rest of José Ignacio. Planet VIK.

There are six villas with two and three en suite bedrooms each.
Three of the villas house two master suites with their own private gardens or terraces, a third bedroom en suite with a living room, two have two master suites with private gardens and living room and one villa has two master suites each with its own private garden. Every villa features a fireplace, art-filled interiors and has a unique design scheme, including Ebony Macassar ceilings, hand painted floors and a remarkable mud adobe fireplace.

Most spaces, a 40-foot long wine cellar or Cava, game room, gym, spa and BBQ dining room feature large glass windows overlooking the beach, the garden, BBQ terrace and fire pit. With its traditional barbeque, the Parrillero terrace also looks out to the beach. The epitome of Uruguayan casual dining on the generous 14-foot cinnamon-wood table, the barbeque area can accommodate from two to sixty guests.

A Brasero, a traditional fire pit, offers comfortable seating of four sides for casual time relaxing in the evenings under the indescribable stars of the Sauthern Hemisphere.

This place is different from every other property in José Ignacio, it's like a spaceship that landed here, unique, daring, and that's a good reason for me to love it, and welcome it and recommend it. You can book VIK through Curiocity Villas for your next luxury villa vacation in Punta del Este. Sit back and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you dinner. Seriously. 

Green Scene. Punta del Este, Uruguay

Calmness and pure bliss. Just minutes away from the chaotic city of Buenos Aires, a short flight from the local airport gets us to this beautiful villa in Punta del Este. Set on the quiet countryside, just a short walk from the beach.
The exterior beauty blends in with the refined interiors decorated with a love for simplicity and functionality. Hand-picked furnishings, unique details - such as a vintage, hair parlour bathroom chair, and warm colors combine magically to provide a peaceful setting with gorgeous views of the vast, green lands where the property sits.
The large swimming pool looks across the green fields and is a mirror to whispering trees.

For when you decide to take a well-deserved break. 

Happy New Year

Sorry I've been away for a little bit, I was on a short beach break in Jose Ignacio. I wish you a great 2010, with much love! thanks for all the love.

Jose Ignacio

Spent last weekend in Jose Ignacio, Uruguay. I sometimes think how lucky we are to have such an amazing place so near. I love going at this time if the year, when you can relax and spend time with friends, but without all the crazyness of the high season. Not that Jose Ignacio gets too crazy in the summer, cause it doesn't... (except for the occasional White party, or Chandon, whatever) but for non-stop nightlife there's always La Barra... still, JI gets pretty full, and you have to make reservations for dinner (or even lunch!) and maybe stand in a line for some trivial things like getting a magazine at the kiosk or buying some chapstick at the drugstore... that kind of thing... October, November, and early December on the other hand, are sooooo... nice. The weather is amazing (well, we did get a cold and rainy day) but it was so great!! the perfect excuse to stay in, sleep, eat, sleep, eat a little more, watch a movie, etc. go visit someone, play pool, read a little, whatever you don't do when the sun is out! and if you like kite surfing, then this is a good time to do it!

KEEPING JOSE IGNACIO CLEAN:
