What Went Down at The Clubhouse: Punta

Although the summer is still heating up in Buenos Aires, the Punta del Este high season has started to cool off. We hope you were able to get in on the fun while it lasted and enjoyed some of the restaurants, nightlife and day parties we suggested in our Punta Guide.  If not, we’re here to tease you with a roundup of highlights from Oasis’ invasion of Punta.

From December 29 – January 8, we took over two impeccably designed homes on the beautiful Punta del Este coastline and hosted our first ever “pop-up” – The Clubhouse: Punta.

Located between Manatiales (home to the popular Bikini Beach) and the once quaint fishing village turned hotspot, Jose Ignacio, The Clubhouse: Punta offered a unique combination of boutique-hotel style rooms paired with a calendar of daily activities.

From poolside breakfasts with Bloody Marys, to Happy Hours featuring the “My Way” grapefruit margarita (the recipe is below), and nightly asados, guests staying at The Clubhouse: Punta, guests staying with us at our 60 properties throughout Punta, and other cool people came out to enjoy the fun.

Some of the highlights included:

Renowned spirit brand Jägermeister hosted an afternoon pool party on January 4. Accomplished mixologist Tato Giovannoni mixed up Jäger Tonics and Jäger Mjitos.

DJ Richie Hell spun the tunes.

On January 6, fashion eyewear brand Carrera hosted “Carrera Escape,” where party-goers enjoyed cocktails by Absolut vodka and Chivas whiskey, with a Peach Daquri being a stand-out favorite.

If you weren’t able to make it to The Clubhouse: Punta this summer, don’t worry, we’ll be back next season! Make sure to tune into our Facebook and Twitter for updates.

You can also get a taste of The Clubhouse: Punta by making the delicious “My Way” margarita at home.
