Arakur Resort & Spa

The resort is clad in stone and oxidised copper panels, the green hues harmonising perfectly with the trees. Inside, the style is equally as eco-conscious mood, with all local materials - picture plenty of wood, marble and stone - and view-framing windows looking over the Beagle Channel and surrounding mountains. Spacious common areas include the “La Cravia” restaurant, where regional and international dishes are served a la carte or buffet-style, and there’s also a cool piano bar for cocktails and snacks. The stars of the show, however, are the 17-metre lap pool, the in-out chilling pool with hydro-jets, and the three amazing hot tubs on the hilltop outdoor deck - you’ll never want to get out of the water

One could spend days on end just going back and forth between the spa, the swimming pool and the hot tubs on the outdoor deck - and it’s certainly an option. But if you'd like to balance your indoor indulgence with some outdoorsy activities, fret not - there is no shortage of these either. Hiking trails around the Nature Reserve start virtually from the resort’s doors and can be explored independently or with one of the hotel’s guides. For venturing into Tierra del Fuego National Park there’s an amazing train exploration, and of course boat and canoe outings to the many sights around the Beagle Channel are a must - thousands of cute penguins await!
