Punta del Este in Uruguay is famed for its mystique and known for being the choice destination for the jet set. Regularly compared to the Hamptons, St.Tropez, and Monaco, this beach resort entices with its unique landscape that brings together a series of hotspots that are ripe for a variety of activities including surfing in Manantiales, sampling the cuisine of Francis Mallmann in Garzòn and exploring the pristine beaches of La Barra. Assouline’s Punta del Este captures this vibrant town, with author Bony Bullrich painting an accurate and lively depiction of a destination that pulls in visitors with the promise of horseback riding in pure nature, authentic asados, and a spirited nightlife scene.
