Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa
A reserve-set resort with two pools and a fitness centre
About this hotel
Arakur's position inside the Cerro Alarken Natural Reserve gives it a genuinely elevated, secluded setting most Ushuaia properties simply cannot match, with panoramic views over the Beagle Channel and the surrounding mountains framing every stay. Two swimming pools set the resort apart from most of the town's other five-star options, and rooms carry heating, flat-screen TVs, minibars, desks and either sea or mountain views as standard across the property. The modern fitness centre suits travellers maintaining a routine on a longer Patagonia trip, and free WiFi runs throughout. Direct access to reserve trails right from the property adds a genuine outdoor dimension most hillside resorts in town cannot offer their guests.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting the top tier of Ushuaia's resort market with genuine reserve access built directly into the stay, particularly hikers and wellness-focused couples. Two pools and a fitness centre make this a strong choice for a longer, more immersive visit. Budget travellers or those wanting to walk everywhere downtown without a drive should look toward a more central property instead of this reserve-set resort.
- Walk the reserve trails directly from the property before breakfast, since the access here is unmatched by any downtown hotel in town.
- Use both pools across the stay rather than just one, since the two offer genuinely different settings and views.
- Book the fitness centre for a morning routine if maintaining one matters during a longer Patagonia trip.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the reserve setting genuinely delivers a different kind of Ushuaia stay, with trail access straight from the property making an early-morning walk possible before breakfast without any drive required. The two pools gave real variety across a longer stay, and the fitness centre kept a workout routine going despite the excursion-heavy schedule most days. The panoramic channel and mountain views justified the resort's top-tier position in town.
