Jose Ignacio is a trendy fishing village turned tourist hotspot on the Uruguayan Atlantic coast. This shabby chic and trendy spot has a chilled vibe that comes alive in the peak seasons of December-March when the beautiful, affluent and trendy seek relaxation, luxury, high quality and an air of sophistication.
Jose Ignacio is a quaint fishing village torn between its traditional heritage and its trendy allure. Just 40km from Punta del Este, Jose Ignacio is now the stylish St Tropez of South America, and wealthy hordes migrate here for the summer to appreciate the charms of its sunshine, sea and chic appeal.
