Under Canvas Unveils ULUM Moab, its Newest Luxury Outdoor Resort

The first location of ULUM™, a new luxury outdoor resort brand designed by nature and inspired by safaris, has officially opened in Moab. Under Canvas, a prominent player in upscale, outdoor hospitality, made the announcement today.

ULUM Moab offers guests an exceptional experience, complete with elevated design, refined comfort, and exceptional hospitality, all nestled in nature just a stone’s throw away from the breathtaking Looking Glass Arch.

Located on 200 acres of stunning desert landscape, the first destination of the ULUM brand reflects nature inside and out – with architecture that embraces the contours of the land and seamlessly integrates into the landscape it inhabits.

ULUM Moab’s contemporary lobby boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows with unparalleled views of nearby Looking Glass Arch and Canyonlands National Park beyond. The light-filled lobby features organic materials like local stone, natural wood, and polished concrete at every turn, and opens up onto an expansive terraced deck with dipping pools, firepits, a yoga deck, and comfortable lounge spaces, perfect for guests to enjoy the resort’s exceptional views.

Each of the resort’s spacious, 360-square-foot Suite Tents features a bedroom with a king-size bed, plush Parachute linens and robes, a lounge area with West Elm furnishings including a queen-size sofa bed and lounge chairs, and a private 70-square-foot deck. A contemporary barn door reveals an ensuite bathroom with a rain shower and plant-based, Aesop bath products. Natural woods, woven rugs, and a Pendleton wool blanket highlight the use of organic materials throughout, and an evaporative cooling fan and wood-burning stove create the perfect sleeping environment from spring to fall.

As the first luxury, outdoor resort of its kind, ULUM Moab offers all the amenities of a luxury hotel, including upscale dining, dipping pools, and complimentary wellness and lifestyle activities like yoga, stargazing, hiking, live music, and evening s’mores. ULUM’s Adventure Concierge can arrange one-of-a-kind excursions such as white water rafting, rock climbing, national park tours, favorite local hikes, and more.

According to Matt Gaghen, chief executive officer of Under Canvas, “ULUM Moab perfectly blends comfort, style, and outdoor exploration. Our exceptional location featuring Looking Glass Arch and spectacular views across Canyonlands is inspiring. We look forward to welcoming guests to this unique, new resort experience, where they can relax, recharge, and discover nature in a whole new way.”

Approachable, high-quality, expertly crafted meals are pillars of the ULUM experience. The resort’s craft cocktails reflect local flora, such as sage, juniper, and prickly pear, and complement a seasonal, Southwest-inspired menu enjoyed al fresco in the enchanting desert landscape. Additionally, an onsite espresso and smoothie bar brings coffee culture to the outdoors with premium hot and cold espresso beverages, specialty smoothies, and grab ‘n go snacks.

ULUM Moab is rooted in a commitment to sustainability and offers Rivian Waypoints Level 2 chargers for guests with electric vehicles to adventure responsibly and enjoy the convenience of an overnight charge. The resort follows International Dark Sky principles, recognizing thoughtful development practices that mitigate light pollution and maximize the night’s sky. Under Canvas has also partnered with the global environmental nonprofit The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to help fund conservation and raise awareness through education, volunteer efforts, and donation programs.

ULUM Moab’s inaugural season runs through October 23, 2023. Reservations for the 2023 and 2024 season are available at www.ulumresorts.com.
