Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa: Quiet Views Above Ushuaia

The overall stay

Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa earns a 4.7 rating from 4,618 Google reviews. Public feedback consistently presents it as a peaceful, well-maintained resort with strong service and impressive natural views. Guests describe the property as beautiful and quiet, with snowy mountains and surrounding nature shaping much of the experience.

The rooms receive repeated praise for cleanliness, space and comfort. Reviews describe them as warm, cosy and well cared for. The interiors also appear to make a stronger impression than the building’s exterior, which one reviewer found unattractive when viewed from Ushuaia below. That same review said the inside was surprisingly appealing.

This is a place for slowing down. Guests regularly mention feeling able to unwind, with the setting doing much of the work.

Rooms and views

The clearest room-related warning is specific: one reviewer advised booking a bay-facing room and said travellers could be disappointed without one. That makes the room view an important part of the reservation decision, particularly for guests choosing the resort for scenery.

Public reviews repeatedly call the views breathtaking or terrific. Snowy mountains, the bay and the surrounding landscape are central to the appeal. The resort sits outside the town centre, so its position helps create the quiet atmosphere, though it also affects convenience.

The available reviews do not provide enough detail to assess every room category or confirm which views are attached to each one. Guests should ask about the outlook before booking.

Spa, pool and dining

The spa is one of the most consistent strengths in the feedback. Guests describe treatments and facilities as relaxing, refreshing and professional. A pool and sauna are also mentioned positively, with one reviewer saying they particularly enjoyed both during a two-night stay.

Food and drink attract strong comments as well. Reviewers describe the food as delicious and varied, while another specifically praised the quality of the food and drink. Service is frequently described as friendly, polite, welcoming and attentive. One guest said staff could not do enough for them.

The pattern is clear: the resort works well for guests who want time on the property, with spa facilities, leisure areas and meals forming a substantial part of the stay.

Location and planning

Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa is about a 15-minute drive from Ushuaia, according to one public review. The approach includes a long, winding road, and that reviewer found the drive boring. Guests who plan to spend most of their time in town should factor in the transfer rather than treating the resort as a central base.

For a short restorative stay, the distance may feel worthwhile. A two-night visit is supported by one review, while the broader feedback points to a resort best suited to relaxation rather than constant sightseeing. The strongest booking priorities are a bay-facing room, time for the spa and a willingness to stay on site for meals and leisure.
