Buy, invest and rent in Península
La Península is the original Punta del Este: the strip of land where the bay of La Mansa meets the ocean of La Brava. Here you'll find the marina, the pedestrian walk and Avenida Gorlero, Plaza Artigas with its market, the Iglesia de la Candelaria, and the 1860 lighthouse that gives the city its name.
It's the area where you can live without a car: cafés, restaurants, pharmacies, banks and supermarkets just a few blocks away, and two different beaches a ten-minute walk away. That's why it combines permanent residents, lifelong summer visitors and buyers looking for a unit to rent out in season with guaranteed demand.
The offering is mostly apartments: classic buildings from the sixties and seventies with very good square footage, towers with port or sea views, and small units ideal for investment. We work throughout the Peninsula — Puerto, Gorlero, Playa de los Ingleses, El Emir — with real information and direct advice.
