Sacromonte

Maldonado, Uruguay

Every cabin at Sacromonte is fronted, floor to ceiling, by sleek, mirrored panes of glass. The buildings, designed by the architecture firm MAPA, sit on locally sourced stone foundations, and the reflections allow them to blend in with the environment—while also providing panoramic views (and privacy) from inside. “We want nature to be the main character of Sacromonte,” says Edmond Borit, founder and CEO of the hotel and vineyard, which opened last year. Guests can hike around the property on trails to find other gems including an A-frame chapel made of cross-laminated timber, giant kaleidoscopes that reflect the nature around them, and a 12-m table for meals or wine tastings. —Merrill Fabry
