Grupo Cipriani has postponed the opening of its Cipriani Resort, Residences & Casino Punta del Este, with the project now scheduled to open during the 2027-2028 summer season.
The decision represents a delay to the opening timetable reported in June, when promoters said the resort was scheduled to open its doors in December 2026.
The latest postponement means the development will not begin operations during the upcoming 2026-2027 summer season. Uruguayan media reported that Cipriani attributed the delay to accumulated problems in the execution of the works.
The delay also affects employment plans connected to the resort. According to Uruguayan reports, Cipriani is seeking alternatives for more than 300 young people who had been preparing through the company’s academy and were expected to join the operation during the coming summer season.
