Tiny houses & cabins in La Pedrera

La Pedrera sits above low cliffs on the Rocha coast, a smaller and quieter alternative to Punta del Este a couple of hours south — surfers picked it up first, for the reef and point breaks below town, and it has stayed a place people walk to for the view rather than come to for nightlife. In winter, southern right whales pass close enough to the cliffs to watch from the path without a boat.

Most stays here are cabañas rather than hotel rooms, and the nine listed lean boutique for the area: an ecological cabin near La Paloma beach, Cabaña Las Hortensias, and Las Cabañas De Ana are typical wooden or eco-style cabins for two to six, while Lunas Del Bosque pairs a cabaña with a separate suite apartment for those travelling as a group. At an average of 52 EUR a night, La Pedrera runs cheaper than its reputation as the design-conscious end of the Rocha coast might suggest.
