With just a handful of players hosted at a time, everything here is personal, from one-to-one coaching to the warmth of communal meals. What sets El Rocío apart is its mix of serious polo and easygoing hospitality. Guests are welcomed into a home with cosy rooms, a shaded wisteria-covered gallery, and gardens built for lingering.
The focus is on comfort, conversation, and connection, whether that’s over leisurely lunches, fireside dinners, or stargazing on the lawn. The small scale of the operation allows for tailored experiences, all underpinned by genuine warmth and attention to detail.

- The beautiful, wisteria-draped gallery, where guests naturally gather before meals.

Polo is at the heart of life at Estancia El Rocío, but there’s plenty of time for relaxation and connection.
Mornings are for polo lessons or stick-and-ball sessions, tailored to your level, followed by long, sociable lunches and time to unwind by the pool or in a hammock with a book. Afternoons bring instructional chukkas or practice games in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
For non-playing guests, there are peaceful walks in the surrounding countryside, or simply time to enjoy the gardens and shared spaces. Evenings centre around the dinner table, with good food, wine, and stories.
When to travel
September to November, March to May
The best time to visit Estancia El Rocío is during the Argentine spring and autumn, from September to November and March to May, when the weather is mild, the pampas are green, and conditions are ideal for polo. Summers (December to February) can be hot, though the pool and shaded galleries offer plenty of respite. The estancia’s polo calendar typically runs through these key seasons, making it perfect for pre-season training or adding a few days of polo onto a wider Argentine adventure.
