Activities in Punta:

Punta del Este is a city that can be enjoyed all year round.
Summer is a time for making the most of the nightlife, the abundant gastronomical offer, the varied beaches...

Still, there is another less obvious side to Punta del Este, which few have the opportunity to get to know: the autumn and the winter. At these times, there are very few visitors, and yet Punta has a lot to offer, in an incomparably restful way.

Winter has an entirely different rhythm: the traffic lights are off, and few people and cars are seen on the streets. The weather is cooler, and invites us to enjoy activities like long walks, tours, reading and rest.

Restaurants, movie theatres, casinos, museums, art galleries, are all still open.
Punta del Este is still active, and has a charm that is enjoyed traditionally only by those who have the privilege of living in Punta all year round.

For those guests who decide to come to Punta del Este in the winter, AWA offers a panoply of organized activities, including bicycle rides, walks on the beach, horse riding, yoga mornings, and others.

In this section of awahotel.com we shall update you on all the activities that we believe may please our guests.
