Posada del Faro

The most beloved boutique in José Ignacio — Mediterranean-style, honesty bar, 24-hour breakfast, home-away-from-home

Getaway Unpacked Edit

The most warmly loved hotel in José Ignacio: a Mediterranean-style boutique overlooking the beach, with 24-hour breakfast, an honesty bar always stocked, and hosts Carla and José who create the most hospitable atmosphere in Uruguay.

Why We Chose It

Posada del Faro is described as the most hospitable hotel in the region — a small Mediterranean-style boutique in José Ignacio run by Carla and José, with rooms overlooking the beach, a 24-hour breakfast buffet (rare in Uruguay), and an honesty bar that is always stocked. It feels exactly like staying in a beautiful private home whose owners have thought of everything. Leading Hotels of the World property. The lighthouse (faro) is steps away. Book many months ahead; it sells out entirely each summer and has passionate regulars who return annually.
