WHY STAY
Sacromonte is a craft wines & landscape hotel in Sierra de Carapé, Maldonado, located in the indigenous mountains of Uruguay. Landscape, architecture, wine, and sustainability come together to create this truly one-of-a-kind nature retreat.
Sacromonte consists of only 4 modern casitas (appropriately called "Shelters"), surrounded by rolling hills. Stay in the Vineyard Shelter with the view from the top of the vineyard; the Lake Shelter, sitting on the edge of a lagoon; the secluded Sierra Shelter facing the vineyard, the Cerro Grande, and the entire property; or the Meadow Shelter looking out onto the valley.
The hotel supports sustainable lifestyle with its organic gardens and agricultural practices, as well as the use of renewable energy and the construction of the Shelters.
WHY WANDER
Hike the indigenous mountains. Take a guided tour of the vineyard. Go Horseback riding through native terrains and the sierras. Sit back and enjoy the surrounding wild landscape.
INDULGE IN
Traditional Uruguayan barbecue of grilled lamb or wild boar. Chopped focaccia baked in a clay oven. Organic vegetables grown in Sacromonte’s own garden and wine from the onsite vineyard.
GETTING THERE
The hotel is less than an hour away from José Ignacio.
