Atlantida
Atlantida is a popular beach resort in the Department of Canelones, about 45 km east of Montevideo. The name recalls the mythical sunken city and promises a paradisiacal vacation destination on Uruguay's coast.
The town was developed as a planned beach resort in the 1940s and has since become one of the most popular vacation destinations for Uruguayan families. The combination of proximity to the capital and relaxed beach atmosphere makes Atlantida irresistible.
The Iglesia Cristo Obrero by Eladio Dieste is a masterpiece of brick architecture and belongs to UNESCO World Heritage. A must-visit for every architecture lover.
Atlantida offers two different beaches: The calm Playa Mansa and the wilder Playa Brava. The Rambla connects both and invites walks with ocean views. Families appreciate the safe environment and good infrastructure.
The real estate market in Atlantida is attractive for those seeking a second home by the sea or wanting to live year-round near the beach. Prices are more moderate than in Punta del Este with comparable quality of life.
