A CONTEMPORARY BASE ABOVE THE BEAGLE CHANNEL
Arakur Resort and Spa occupies a prominent position on a natural balcony within the Reserva Natural Cerro Alarkén in Patagonia and around 250 metres above sea level. From here, the hotel looks out across Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel and the surrounding mountains, while remaining just a short drive from the city centre and international airport. It offers both perspective and practicality, placing guests close to the region’s key sights while maintaining a clear sense of space and scale.
The hotel’s architecture is modern and purposeful, designed to frame the landscape rather than compete with it. More than 100 rooms and suites are arranged to take full advantage of the views, whether across the bay, the city or the valleys and peaks beyond. Interiors are contemporary and comfortable, with smart temperature control, generous en-suite bathrooms and large windows that bring the outside in. Senior Suites offer additional space, with separate living areas suited to longer stays.
Wellness plays a central role. Indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs and water-jet facilities are supplied with natural rainwater and glacial meltwater, and positioned to make the most of the surroundings. A well-equipped spa and fitness centre provide a welcome counterpoint to days spent outdoors, whether hiking, exploring or travelling further afield.
Dining is led by La Cravia Restaurant, which serves international cuisine and from Argentina with wide-reaching views over the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia and the distant Vinciguerra Glacier. A lobby bar and pool bar offer more relaxed spaces for drinks and light bites. As a base, Arakur works particularly well for exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park and the wider region, while offering comfort and calm at the end of the day.
