Minor Hotels has announced the signing of a new Anantara property to be developed in Ushuaia, Argentina. Set to open in early 2028, Anantara Ushuaia Patagonia Resort will be located in the southernmost city in the world, where the dramatic Andes Mountains meet the icy waters of the Beagle Channel.
Nestled within Ushuaia’s Costa Susana master plan, in close proximity to Tierra del Fuego National Park, the new-build waterfront resort will offer 60 luxurious guest rooms and suites, an extensive spa and wellness facility at sea level, signature dining concepts and meeting facilities.
True to Anantara’s experiential DNA, the property will immerse guests in transformative and locally anchored experiences – while remaining deeply committed to environmental preservation. The Costa Susana development has been selected to participate in the World Architecture Festival’s Landscape and Environment category – Argentina’s first such nomination – and proudly stands as the first carbon-neutral real estate development in the country.
The hotel management agreement is with Fideicomiso Urbanización Monte Susana, an Argentinean development group consisting of two partners with over 20 years of experience in real estate development, specialised in the creation of residential projects in the Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego region.
“Ushuaia, often called the ‘End of the World,’ is the gateway to Antarctica and a breathtaking destination in its own right,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of Minor International. “Bringing Anantara to South America is a key priority for the Group, and we are thrilled to introduce our brand in a setting as bold, remote and awe-inspiring as Ushuaia.”
With Argentina’s growing reputation as a premier leisure destination, Ushuaia stands out with its unique blend of Antarctic adventure and pristine wilderness. It’s an ideal match for Anantara’s luxury-with-purpose philosophy. Nearby attractions include world-class ski resorts, journeys on the iconic End of the World Train, luxury cruises to Antarctic and South American ports, and exploration of Tierra del Fuego National Park – a 70,000-hectare sanctuary of Patagonia’s last Andean peaks and dramatic coastal ecosystems.
“Anantara Ushuaia is a major step in our growth strategy for the Americas and a fulfilment of a long-held ambition,” commented Gonzalo Aguilar, CEO of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas. “With our partners’ deep local expertise and our shared vision, we are confident the property will become a benchmark for immersive, sustainable hospitality at the edge of the world.”
Melitón González del Solar, the spokesperson from Fideicomiso Urbanización Monte Susana, commented, “Partnering with Minor Hotels to introduce Anantara to our country is incredibly exciting. Ushuaia’s raw natural beauty and spirit of discovery are perfectly matched by Anantara’s experience-led ethos. We’re equally proud to work with a brand that shares our values in protecting the environment and uplifting local communities. Together, we are creating a benchmark green hotel for the region.”
Located just a short drive from Ushuaia International Airport, with direct connections to Buenos Aires and other domestic hubs, Anantara Ushuaia Patagonia Resort will be uniquely positioned to offer exclusive access to one of the last truly untamed places on earth.
