  1. A James Turrell Skyspace installation sits in the grounds, which tells you something about the kind of boutique hotel this is. Set on a José Ignacio beach, Posada Ayana is a villa-style property stacked with mid-century design classics, and the restaurant leans into local sourcing paired with Uruguayan wines. The crowd arrives with good luggage and strong opinions about contemporary art, and nobody seems to mind.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
