THE PERFECT SPRING BREAK ESCAPE

While spring is awakening in the north, summer still reigns in José Ignacio. Here, days stretch under the warmth of golden skies, and evenings are painted by glowing sunsets over the Atlantic. The air carries the scent of the ocean, the countryside hums with life, and adventure flows effortlessly from dawn to dusk.

This is spring break as it should be: luxurious, vibrant, and unhurried. Whether walking barefoot along deserted beaches or cycling through scenic coastal paths, every moment feels like a privilege. Low-season travel offers serenity without the crowds, with world-class retreats like Estancia Vik, Playa Vik, and Bahia Vik feeling like your private paradise. The ocean is at its warmest, perfect for sailing, surfing, or simply soaking in the sun.

Here, the pace is yours to set. Spend the morning horseback riding through the countryside or kayaking across calm lagoons. Later, retreat to an ocean-view terrace at Playa Vik or toast the setting sun at Bahia Vik’s beachfront. In José Ignacio, the world beyond melts away.

With its effortless charm and easy logistics, even your journey becomes part of the adventure. By car, bike, or horseback, every path leads to discovery. When winter grips the North, trade snow for sand and create the spring break story that others can only dream of.

More than a destination, Vik José Ignacio is a gateway to immersive experiences that engage all senses. Two unforgettable journeys await:

The Full Moon Experience at Estancia Vik: When twilight descends, set off by horseback, kayak along the José Ignacio River, or take a scenic drive through the countryside. As the moon rises, arrive at a hidden gathering in the “monte”, where a traditional gaucho feast awaits. Savor Uruguayan flavors, fine wines, and the warmth of shared moments. With live music in the background and nature all around, it’s an evening of connection and magic: a celebration of Uruguay’s rich traditions under the stars.

Next full moon ride: February 12

The Signature Fish BBQ at Playa Vik: Experience the artistry of Uruguayan cuisine in a setting that celebrates its natural surroundings. Overlooking Playa Mansa’s serene waters, the open-fire kitchen prepares freshly caught fish, grilled to perfection and accompanied by seasonal produce. Guests dine alfresco, where the ocean breeze and architectural elegance of Playa Vik create an atmosphere that is both intimate and inspiring.
