A Celebrity Destination in Punta Del Este
Hotel Fasano has enchanted its visitors with its casual spirit since its inauguration in 2010. It is the first international hotel from the Fasano Group, a Brazilian hotel and restaurant chain led by entrepreneur Rogerio Fasano. He has said in different interviews that if a guest feels at home, then the hotel is a failure. A guest's stay should be unforgettable, different from their routine and from anything they are used to. This is a great indication of how unbelievable your stay at Hotel Fasano will be.
This beautiful retreat was built on 1,000 acres of unspoiled land in "La Barra", one of the most popular parts of Punta del Este. It sits approximately 22 miles away from the Punta del Este Airport and 76 miles away from the Carrasco Airport in Montevideo, the nation's capital. This is a region that has the best of both worlds, with quiet beaches and alluring countryside views.
The hotel was designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld, who merged rustic and modern architectural styles, resulting in one of the most beautiful and sophisticated resorts in the world. All of the suites and private bungalows have incredible views facing the sea or the countryside. Either way, you will fall in love with the stunning scenery and its contrasts.
There are many things you can do in the Hotel Fasano. One of the most popular attractions is the outdoor pool, which looks like nothing you have ever seen. This Instagram-worthy pool was carved into one of the giant stones found on the property and resembles a small lagoon. If you are looking for something more crowded, then you could visit Bikini Beach which is a private beach in the Maldonado River, just 10 minutes away from the hotel. Here, you will enjoy the white sand, with music and refreshing cocktails. Also, some activities like kayaking and paddleboarding are available in this location.
A magnificent spa with an indoor pool and sauna awaits those who are looking for peace and relaxation in Hotel Fasano. Many treatments are offered in the spa including massages, aromatherapy, facials, exfoliations, hot stone therapy and many more. Also, a fully equipped gym can be used by guests who desire to stay healthy during their holiday.
Other activities are available for guests who enjoy the outdoors and the countryside. As you can see, there is something fun to do for everyone. The guests can visit the hotel's stables and go horseback riding around the property. This is a perfect opportunity to try this activity for the first time since there are expert horsemen who can teach you all about it. The property is also great for other outdoor activities such as cycling and hiking. Guests can also practice golf either by themselves or with private instructors.
The gastronomy in Hotel Fasano is very different from anything you will find in Punta del Este, where restaurants generally center their menus around the barbecue. Chef Jose Branco is in charge of the hotel's two restaurants: Fasano Punta del Este, and Las Piedras. The first one offers Haute Mediterranean cuisine in an informal environment, while Las Piedras is deeply rooted in the Fasano Italian heritage. Just like in a trattoria in Tuscany, you will enjoy authentic Italian recipes like risotto and gnocchi. Finally, in the Lounge Bar you can try all the different cocktails and exclusive liquors they have to offer.
The Fasano Group chose Punta del Este as the first international destination for one of their hotels for a reason. This region has become one of the most exclusive parts of South America, and Hotel Fasano is the perfect place to stay if you decide to visit.
