    A National Geographic lodge in Alaska

    On the tip of the Kenai Peninsula, between fjords and mountains, Tutka Bay Lodge is an intimate and exclusive boutique retreat. Indeed, this remote lodge is accessible only by boat, floatplane or helicopter. Its 6 comfortably appointed wooden chalets offer extraordinary views of the natural surroundings. Tutka Bay Lodge is the original creation of award-winning chef Kristen Dixon, trained at the prestigious Cordon Bleu in Paris, and her husband Carl. The owners invite their guests to enjoy unique experiences, where wildlife goes hand in hand with rejuvenation and culinary discovery. After a fishing trip or a forest hike, join the chef's table to discover her secrets during a unique cookery class. Alternatively, make the most of the huge wooden deck overlooking the bay, snuggled into the outdoor armchairs or the wood-fired hot tub. Lastly, the lodge offers a wellness programme including yoga sessions, a sauna and relaxing treatments.
