Punta Ballena
Punta Ballena is a spectacular peninsula west of Punta del Este, famous for the renowned Casapueblo and its breathtaking sunsets. The name "Whale Peninsula" refers to the shape of the promontory that juts into the sea like a whale.
The highlight of Punta Ballena is undoubtedly Casapueblo, the white art museum and hotel by Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. This architectural masterpiece perches on the cliffs and offers one of the most beautiful views of the Río de la Plata and the setting sun.
Punta Ballena is home to the world-famous Casapueblo, a must-see for all visitors to the region - especially at sunset.
The peninsula offers a unique combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The steep cliffs, hidden coves, and wide beaches create a dramatic coastal landscape that has attracted artists and nature lovers for decades.
Real estate in Punta Ballena is particularly sought after by those seeking exclusivity and privacy. Many lots are elevated with panoramic ocean views. The area is quieter than the center of Punta del Este and offers a perfect retreat for discerning residents.
