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
