BAHIA
VIK
"Bahia Vik José Ignacio is the vision of a natural and contemporary retreat that embraces beach living with a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors inspired by art and Vik luxury. Living in the dunes on the Mansa beach you can fully embrace the spirit of José Ignacio by tumbling out of bed onto your terrace and the beach beyond for a morning swim." - Bahia VIK

While the work of several beloved artists featured at neighboring retreats Estancia
Vik and Playa Vik will reappear at Bahia Vik, many new talents will debut as
well, giving the latest Vik Retretas its own distinctive aesthetic, more contemporary
in nature.
