On Playa Anastasio, north of the lighthouse on the way to Laguna Garzón, this hotel & beach club is built around spacious one- to three-room villas, with some categories designed for adults and others for families. The set-up is boutique resort through and through: three pools — including an infinity pool — a spa and gym with ocean views, a restaurant and exclusive beach service on one of the wildest, most beautiful stretches of coast in the area.

What sets it apart is the countryside add-on: Estancia Anastasio, inside the Laguna Garzón protected area, offers horseback rides, kayaking, kitesurfing, bikes and asados at its refuge, so you can alternate sea days and nature days without ever leaving the hotel's own ecosystem. It works just as well for families who need space as for couples looking for a big beach without the crowds.
