Casa Zinc

Activities

• Take it easy at La Barra’s pretty beaches, lined with elegant eateries. Once you’ve ‘done’ La Barra, head to chi-chi Jose Ignacio, just 30 minutes away by car, to sunbathe with the rich and famous
  
  
• Tone those muscles with a surfing lesson at La Barra’s popular surf school, Bagus School, or pair up for a game of tennis at Club de La Barra. Those in search of something more relaxing can book a yoga lesson at Casa Zinc - the helpful staff will arrange it
  
  
• Choose from cross-country rides to the beach and Laguna Garzón, or full-moon rides with the Jose Ignacio horse-riding company Haras Godiva
  
  
• Go for a bike ride around the tranquil streets surrounding Casa Zinc. The property has around a dozen mountain bikes for guests to use free of charge
  
  
• Challenge your partner to a game of petanque - a French game similar to boules. Casa Zinc has its own court
  
  
• Nightlife is a big attraction in La Barra, Jose Ignacio and Punta del Este; ask staff which bars and clubs they recommend
  
  
• The neighbouring resort city of Punta del Este is rather big and brash (a concrete canyon of high-rise apartment buildings and mammoth casinos), but you'll probably want to check out its chi-chi hangouts, hip boutiques and the famous Bikini Beach
