ARAKUR USHUAIA RESORT & SPA, Argentina
If visiting the end of the world is high on your bucket list, you’ve discovered the most dramatic way to cross it off, at the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, or Fireland––an archipelago made up of hundreds of islands around Cape Horn, the last stop on your way to Antarctica. Inside a natural reserve and close to Mount Alarkén’s summit, this mountain hideaway’s sweeping natural vistas allure guests upon arrival. The majestic lobby includes a huge fireplace, clean lines and natural materials that set off the real showstopper––views of the natural world all around you. And they are everywhere, even from the state-ofthe-art exercise room. Outdoor hot tubs and recreation pools perched high on a wooden deck leaves you with silent, stunning views of the ocean and mountains so peaceful you may never want to leave. The suites’ minimalist, contemporary artistic furnishings provide extreme comfort after your incredible end-of-the-world adventures at nearby Cerro Castor Ski Resort, Ushuaia Golf Club and Tierra del Fuego National Park. Take your pick from photo safaris along Arroyo Grande’s one-kilometre coastline and forested hiking trails. Or enjoy wildlife watching and the native forests of lenga, ñire and coihue trees. City and bay views from the mountains to the Vinciguerra Glacier make for dramatic dining at the La Cravia Restaurant which serves up excellent Argentinian cuisine including spider crab, lamb and black hake as well as international fare. arakur.com
