Casagrande Hotel & Beach Club

Casagrande brought to La Juanita a format the seaside town didn't have: the comfort of an apartment with all the services of a hotel. At kilometer 182,5 of Route 10, two hundred meters from the beach and steps from the entrance to the village, the complex brings together 58 units —from studios to three bedrooms— alongside five commercial spaces, a restaurant, laundry and underground parking. It operates under a condo-hotel system: when you're not there, your unit works for you with professional rental management, in an area where seasonal demand keeps growing without pause. It's the most practical gateway to the José Ignacio world, designed for a young crowd that wants beach, dining and profitability all at once.

The address says it all: Calle Los Lobos at the corner of Ruta 10, kilometer 182, right at the entrance to José Ignacio. From the complex you can walk straight to Playa Mansa, where Casagrande runs its own beach club in summer, with beach service for guests, and in a few minutes you're at the village square, La Huella, and all of the lighthouse area's dining options. La Juanita, the neighborhood around it, has become the coast's most promising area: pine forest, sand streets, specialty stores and a young community that lives there year-round. Casagrande works as a practical gateway into that world, open all twelve months.

Casagrande is a refuge on the calm bay of José Ignacio, set within a pine forest and just steps from the beach and the village. The complex brings together 59 rooms and residential-style apartments —from studios to three bedrooms— designed with a minimalist beach aesthetic: open, equipped kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows and, in most units, private terraces that blend the interior with the garden or the sea. The condo-hotel format is the heart of the model: owners enjoy their unit whenever they want and put it to work the rest of the year, with professional rental management in an area where seasonal demand keeps growing. Construction followed low-environmental-impact methods.

The service offering is that of a full hotel: reception and concierge 24 hours a day, multilingual staff, daily housekeeping, a heated outdoor pool in summer with a pool bar, its own restaurant —La Despensa— serving breakfast, lunch and dinner made with seasonal ingredients, plus a convenience store, room service and takeaway. Add to that shared barbecue areas, a terrace for private events, a gym kit, bicycles, laundry, covered parking at no extra charge and complimentary wifi of 150 MB. The complex is pet friendly and organizes experiences in the area: yoga, surfing, kitesurfing, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing and tastings. For an investor owner, that operating package —managed by Tay Group, a Uruguayan hotel operator— is what sets professional rental apart from a simple seasonal let.
