Secluded – Coastal – Relaxed

Cuchilla Alta, one of the smaller seaside towns along Uruguay’s Costa de Oro, offers a secluded and tranquil setting ideal for private events, destination weddings, and wellness retreats. Known for its unspoiled beaches, relaxed pace, and informal charm, Cuchilla Alta provides event organisers with an intimate venue away from more developed resort areas.

The wide sands of Playa Cuchilla Alta serve as a natural stage for open-air beach weddings, intimate vow renewals, and casual beachfront receptions. Its peaceful shoreline, often quieter than neighbouring resorts, allows for highly personalised events framed by uninterrupted views of the Río de la Plata and spectacular sunsets.

A small selection of guesthouses, beachfront villas, and boutique properties offer flexible options for accommodation and event hosting. Private homes and rental properties allow organisers to create fully customised programs that blend accommodation, dining, and event spaces in one secluded coastal setting.

The town’s natural surroundings make Cuchilla Alta particularly appealing for wellness and mindfulness retreats. The quiet beaches and nearby nature trails allow for yoga sessions, meditation workshops, and outdoor team-building activities that foster relaxation and reconnection.

Located just over an hour from Montevideo via the Ruta Interbalnearia, Cuchilla Alta offers convenient access for both local and international participants while maintaining a genuine “hidden gem” atmosphere. Its simplicity and natural beauty appeal to organisers looking for privacy, authenticity, and minimal distractions.

Nearby coastal towns such as La Floresta, Marindia, and Atlántida provide additional options for off-site activities, culinary experiences, and day excursions, giving event planners added flexibility when building multi-day programs.

For event organisers seeking an uncomplicated, relaxed, and intimate setting, Cuchilla Alta delivers a uniquely quiet corner of Uruguay’s coastline—perfect for highly personalised small-scale events immersed in nature and simplicity.
