Luxury Ushuaia with Arakur Resort & Spa
A basic program with an excellent luxury hotel in Ushuaia

A wonderful 3-night program to enjoy the best of Ushuaia, the city of the end of the world
Ushuaia, often called the “End of the World,” holds the title of being the southernmost city on the planet and serves as the capital of the Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, and South Atlantic Islands Province of Argentina. Cradled between the Martial Mountains and the Beagle Channel, the city is framed by extraordinary scenery, including jagged peaks, glacial landscapes, and lush forests.
As the principal gateway to Antarctica and the farthest reaches of South America, Ushuaia has become a magnet for adventurers and lovers of the outdoors. Travelers can enjoy a wide array of activities such as hiking, trekking, skiing, snowboarding, and observing unique wildlife.
One of the main highlights nearby is Tierra del Fuego National Park, located only minutes from downtown. Visitors can follow panoramic trails, embark on boat trips across serene lakes, and discover the area’s distinctive flora and fauna.
Ushuaia also treasures its maritime heritage, showcased in several cultural spaces and historical landmarks. The End of the World Museum and the Maritime Museum remain favorite stops for those eager to understand the city’s past and seafaring traditions.
Among Ushuaia’s most remarkable accommodations is Arakur Resort & Spa, a refined retreat set on a hilltop with sweeping vistas of the Beagle Channel, surrounding forests, and snow-dusted mountains. Designed to blend comfort with sophistication, its spacious rooms and suites feature modern décor and amenities, ensuring guests a peaceful stay after a day of exploration.
Arakur is more than a hotel; it is an experience on its own. The property offers a broad selection of facilities, perfectly suited for travelers seeking rest or adventure. Guests looking for relaxation can immerse themselves in the wellness center, where massages, facials, and hydrotherapy treatments provide complete renewal in a tranquil setting.
For those eager to embrace the outdoors, Arakur grants direct access to countless activities such as trekking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and birdwatching. Its privileged location, right next to Tierra del Fuego National Park, makes it the perfect base to explore the pristine landscapes of the region.
Culinary delights also play a central role in the Arakur experience. Its signature restaurants serve exquisite Argentine cuisine prepared with seasonal, locally sourced products. With floor-to-ceiling views of Ushuaia’s dramatic surroundings, dining here is not merely eating—it is a moment to savor.
