La Barra

La Barra is Punta del Este's bohemian-chic beach town, across the Leonel Viera bridge (the famous wavy bridge) from the peninsula. In season it's home to much of the area's dining, art galleries, and nightlife.

The property mix spans houses and country lots to new-build apartment buildings, and it's especially popular with Argentine and Brazilian buyers. Montoya and Bikini beaches are just minutes away, adding value for both full-time living and seasonal rentals.
