World of Hyatt has announced an exciting new partnership with Under Canvas, the premier provider of upscale outdoor hospitality, aimed at delivering unique and immersive experiences for its guests and members. This alliance will give World of Hyatt members exclusive access to book stays at Under Canvas’ 13 outdoor resorts, including the luxurious ULUM Moab, a new addition to Under Canvas’ portfolio.
“Travellers are increasingly seeking unique experiences that reconnect them with nature in off-the-beaten-path locations,” said Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer at Hyatt. “By integrating these luxury outdoor camps into the World of Hyatt, we are enhancing the array of memorable travel experiences available to our guests and members. Hyatt’s rapidly expanding luxury portfolio, now including Under Canvas camps, adds immense value for our members.”
A New Level of Luxury Outdoors
Under Canvas and ULUM resorts are now part of World of Hyatt, offering some of the most sought-after luxury outdoor experiences across stunning U.S. destinations like Yellowstone National Park in Montana, the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, Acadia National Park in Maine, and the upcoming Yosemite National Park camp in California, set to open in May 2025.
These camps feature safari-inspired tents and complimentary activities such as nightly campfires with s’mores, yoga sessions, and kid-friendly programs. Guests can also enjoy wholesome and nutritious meals made from thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Guests can look forward to booking stays at several breathtaking locations:
- Under Canvas Bryce Canyon: Located 15 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park, this camp offers Stargazer Tents perfect for sleeping under the stars and celestial-themed culinary delights.
- Under Canvas Grand Canyon: Nestled in a secluded piñon and juniper forest in Arizona, just minutes from the Grand Canyon, this camp provides a peaceful retreat.
- Under Canvas Lake Powell-Grand Staircase: Discover the wonders of the American Southwest with activities like hiking mesas and sunset watching at Horseshoe Bend.
- Under Canvas Moab: Ideal for exploring Utah’s Canyon Country, with its towering plateaus and sandstone cliffs.
- Under Canvas Zion: Set near Zion National Park, this camp lets guests marvel at the majestic red rocks and wide-open skies.
- ULUM Moab: The flagship of the new ULUM brand, this luxury resort spans 200 acres and features amenities like a full-service restaurant, dipping pools, a yoga deck, and comfortable lounge spaces.
“Under Canvas leads the outdoor resort industry in the U.S., with 13 locations near national parks and adventure destinations such as Acadia, Glacier, Moab, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion,” said Matt Gaghen, CEO of Under Canvas. “We’re thrilled to welcome World of Hyatt members to our beautiful, safari-inspired camps, offering true comfort in nature. This collaboration with Hyatt will help us connect more people with extraordinary places, people, and the planet.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Under Canvas is committed to sustainability, evidenced by its five “Grand Circle” camps in Utah and Arizona, which are the first-ever DarkSky-certified resorts in the world. This certification highlights their efforts to minimise light pollution and protect the night sky. The camps, designed with a ‘Mindful Approach’ ethos, aim to minimise environmental impact by using pull-chain showers, low-flow toilets, rechargeable battery pack chargers, and low-level lighting.
Safari-inspired tents provide luxurious comfort with king-size beds, luxe linens, USB charging packs, bedside lanterns, and wood-burning stoves, most featuring private decks with views and ensuite bathrooms. To encourage guests to immerse themselves in nature, Under Canvas camps do not offer Wi-Fi, though ULUM Moab provides Wi-Fi in its contemporary, temperature-controlled lobby lounge and restaurant.
With this new alliance, World of Hyatt members can now look forward to earning and redeeming points while enjoying these unparalleled outdoor experiences. This partnership underscores Hyatt’s commitment to expanding its luxury offerings and delivering exceptional travel experiences.
