History

Completed in 2002, Four Seasons Resort Carmelo was designed with both East and West architecture in mind.

Four Seasons Resort Carmelo was voted 26th by Travel + Leisure's 2006 World's Best Top 100 Resort/Hotel Awards Readers Poll^[3] and ranks on the Best Hotels/Resorts in South America by Condé Nast Traveler^[4] and Gallivanter's Guide 2007. Four Seasons Resort Carmelo, Uruguay currently houses 20 bungalows and 24 suites, which are anchored by a four-level main lodge.

Amenities

The resort was constructed with a par-72 championship 18-hole golf course, which was designed by the international architectural team at American Golf Course Design LTDA. It is considered South America's premier golf course by Golf Digest.
