Guests are also invited to the theater to watch a film on the artist’s life, enjoy afternoon tea in the upstairs cafeteria & bar, and even stay overnight at the adjacent hotel.

About the Artist
Carlos Páez Vilaró was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1923. A self-taught artist, Vilaró traveled the world and established his workshops across many continents, finding inspiration and his unique artistic expression from multi-culturalism and exploration.

In 1969 he returned from his extensive journeying across the globe to continue working on Casapueblo, modeled with his own hands and crafted with the help from local fishermen. His artistic mediums known no bounds and his legacy can be found captured in murals, sculptures, paintings, ceramics, the written word, and more.
The Hotel
Club Hotel Casapueblo is an entirely unique and iconic hotel in Punta Ballena. Each of its 72 rooms boast terraces with breathtaking views looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. No two rooms are alike and each was crafted in Carlos Páez Vilaró's unique artistic style.
