It is well known that we Kiwis are pretty laid back, so consider staying a little longer and check out the Bikini Beach, Brava Beach and Mansa Beach, which you'll find in Punta del Este, 5 kilometres to the southwest of La Barra. If you'd like to spend a night or two in Punta del Este, check out the room rates at the Hotel Camelot and Sagú Hotel Boutique. 25 kilometres to the east of La Barra, you can also stay at Jose Ignacio, which is home to the BDL - beach design loft and CDL - containers design loft. The Jose Ignacio Beach, Parque Faro Jose Ignacio and Prefectura Nacional Naval Jose Ignacio are popular attractions to see when visiting Jose Ignacio.

Before your La Barra trip draws to a close, why not spend an afternoon rubbing shoulders with fellow sports fans at a local match? You'll find Andresito Municipal Stadium 70 kilometres to the east of La Barra. Sleep near the action at the UY Proa Sur Hotel or the El Hotel de la Torre.
