Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa
Ushuaia, Argentina · ★★★★★ · 9.6/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A five-star resort on the hillside above Ushuaia, with indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and wide views over the city, the Beagle Channel and the mountains.
Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa is a modern, glass-fronted building set on a slope above the city. With 129 individually furnished rooms, it combines resort facilities with a quiet hillside position, and many spaces are designed around the view of the channel and the mountains. The architecture is contemporary, with large glass surfaces that bring in the light, and the setting above the town means the view stretches over rooftops, water and peaks, which many guests will want to enjoy from the terrace.
Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools with sun loungers, a poolside bar, a spa offering massages and manicures, and La Cravia, a restaurant serving local cuisine. There are also two cafés, a terrace and garden, a billiards table and a free shuttle to a shopping center. Rooms have heated floors, rainfall showers and deep soaking tubs. Meeting rooms and concierge service are also available.
The setting
The resort overlooks Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel and the surrounding peaks. The hotel mentions ecotours, hiking, biking and snowshoeing among the activities travellers can enjoy, and the area is a base for sailing the Beagle Channel, visiting Tierra del Fuego National Park and riding the End of the World Train. Conditions change quickly, so check the forecast and dress in layers whatever the month.
