Arakur

Argentina

Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa serves up a sleek, contemporary yet homely stay overlooking the Beagle Channel. In fact, it’s the setting that makes Arakur even more special, sitting within the Cerro Alarkén Nature Reserve and with a dramatic mountain backdrop, you don’t even need to leave your front door to see some of the best sights of Ushuaia! The building itself is enveloped by floor-to-ceiling windows for light and those impressive views, all to be enjoyed from a fantastic restaurant and piano bar, or the series of indoor/outdoor pools, hot tubs and relaxation terraces. Indeed, soaking in the pool’s warm waters after a day of hiking or visiting the highlights of Ushuaia is tough to beat. You’re around a 20-minute drive from central Ushuaia when staying at Arakur, but the distance from town – and your secluded hilltop perch – simply makes for a more serene, private experience of this beautiful part of Patagonia.

Rooms at Arakur

Rooms at Arakur are adorned in pale wood, cream and neutral tones to give a sense of light and space, helped by the oversized windows you’ll find in each. The Senior Suites are a good option if you need more space and comfort, including a lounge area, though all rooms – including Triples, Deluxe Twin and Superior Double, come with the same sense of style, well-equipped and modern bathrooms, plus all the mod-cons like a mini bar, air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.
