El Nido is an innovative private neighborhood on Route 10, facing the sea, that brings together nature, technology and top-tier amenities. With a professional wave pool and a setting designed for an active life, it redefines the residential experience on the Uruguayan coast.

It is presented as one of the country’s most prominent real estate developments. Located on the front line on Route 10, it combines an outstanding natural setting with high-standard infrastructure. The project covers about 70 hectares and will have around 400 lots, more than 65% of which have already been sold.

A Pioneering Neighborhood Worldwide

El Nido is the world’s first oceanfront gated community to include a professional wave pool. It uses Wave Garden technology, a global leader in artificial wave generation that adapts to different levels, from beginners to advanced surfing.

“Uruguay doesn’t have perfect waves every day. With this pool you’ll have ideal conditions all year round, tailored to your level, and with the comfort needed to surf even in winter.”

 

The area will include outdoor jacuzzis, heated locker rooms and recovery spaces designed for surfers, as well as a commercial podium grouping services and offerings exclusive to owners.

Lots, Landscape and a Variety of Options

The available lots are around one thousand square meters. Although no architectural style is mandatory, each project must be reviewed by El Nido’s architecture studio to ensure aesthetic coherence and construction quality.

The neighborhood combines elevated areas —35 meters above sea level— with more sheltered wooded zones, offering different residential experiences according to each buyer’s preference.
According to the project team, personalized advice is provided to help each interested buyer find the ideal location within the neighborhood.

“El Nido combines nature, technology and premium services in an oceanfront setting unlike any other in Uruguay.”

Timeline and Sales

The wave pool will be operational in mid-2026. The project’s sales progress and registered demand confirm the interest in this innovative proposal on the Uruguayan coast.
