Punta del Este is a peninsula located on Uruguay's easternmost shore, 70 miles east of Montevideo, and is surrounded by sea and river waters with a special landscape of greenery and woodland, full of colourful fauna. One of the world's most sophisticated resort destinations, Punta del Este offers a yachting marina, surfing, deep-sea fishing and waterskiing. Punta del Este also has great golf courses, just ten minutes from the Conrad Punta del Este Resort & Casino.

Punta del Este possesses an endless coastline of beaches, with the rough waves of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the quiet waters of the Rio de la Plata on the other. La Mansa beach offers calm waters, with bays set against a backdrop of pine and eucalyptus forests, while La Brava faces the Atlantic Ocean, with waves that are ideal for surfing.

Punta del Este is a cosmopolitan city that complements its exceptional natural beauty with an active social life, attracting visitors looking for that special destination. Beautiful ocean beaches and sumptuous residences among the pines are Punta del Este's unmistakeable mark, and in the evening, numerous discos, casinos and restaurants open their doors until dawn.
