Four Seasons Resort CarmeloJust a hop from both Buenos Aires and Montevideo, the Four Seasons Resort in Carmelo is a spa and golf paradise nestled in the pines on the Río de la Plata. Consistently ranked as one of Uruguay's top resorts, this country retreat has it all-- from tennis and horseback riding to a double-casade pool and vineyards. Take advantage of a special promotion, available until December 21, 2011, and you'll get a third night free during Uruguay's lovely spring season. You'll delight in your bungalow or spacious bi-level suites, getting spoiled rotten by Four Seasons staff. What's more: You can score even more savings with the "Spa Escape Promotion." Book your spa treatment and pay with any American Express Card, and you'll get a 90-minute massage for the price of 60 minutes when you mention the Spa Escape promotion at time of reservation. (Available Monday - Friday, before 5:00 pm. Upgrade valid only toward massage treatments.)

Fasano Las Piedras, Punta del EsteThe Fasano family's hotels in Brazil are positively dreamy. (Check out photos of the sexy hang-outs in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo and tell us you don't agree...) Now we're getting wind about a glamorous new venture in Uruguay that's causing quite the stir. Located in Punta del Este, the Fasano Las Piedras sprawls across 480 hectares of both countryside and sandy coast- so lucky guests can get a taste of Punta del Este's famous nightlife while bedding down in tranquil quiet on a country estate. Like the other Fasano properties, the exclusive hotel was designed as a collection of low-rise stone cottages by modernist architect Isay Weinfeld. Top-of-the-line amenities include a free-form pool, spa, private beach and boathouse, even an equestrian center with polo fields. Needless to say, this is *the* place to stay in Punta del Este!
