Uruguay's Four Seasons Carmelo
Four Seasons Carmelo
While on the Uruguayan side of Rio de la Plata, the Four Seasons Resort Carmelo is rooted in Argentine finesse. Surrounded in an estancia like setting, with stands of eucalyptus and pine, this resort offers an ambiance as rugged as the local gauchos with details as impressive as the polo players that wait to instruct curious parties on the game. Twenty bungalows made of South American lapacho and viraro wood await visitors, while heated slate floors lead to outdoor garden showers and wood burning fireplaces warm the living areas.
Sunbath by the three tiered waterfall pool, retreat to the nearby golf course, one of the finest on the continent, or venture to the spa where an array of treatments incorporating Uruguayan wine, pine and eucalyptus honey await. Dine on the delectable concoctions of the Pura and Mandara Restaurants or venture to the neighboring town of Colonia, a UNESCO world heritage site.
