Under Canvas announced the opening of ULUM,  a new, safari-inspired, luxury outdoor resort brand, with its first location near Moab, Utah. ULUM Moab is ideally situated steps from Utah’s awe-inspiring Looking Glass Arch. The property is now open until Oct. 23.

Located on 200 acres of stunning desert landscape, ULUM Moab reflects nature inside and out, with architecture embracing the contours of the land and seamlessly integrating into the landscape it inhabits.

ULUM Moab’s contemporary lobby has 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 including local stone, natural wood and polished concrete at every turn, opening up on to an expansive terraced deck with dipping pools, firepits, a yoga deck and comfortable lounge spaces, perfect for enjoying the resort’s exceptional views.

Each of the resort’s 50 spacious, 360-square-foot Suite Tents features a bedroom with king-sized bed; plush Parachute linens and robes; a lounge area with West Elm furnishings, including a queen-sized sofa-bed and lounge chairs; and a private 70-square-foot deck. A contemporary barn door reveals an en-suite bathroom with rain shower and plant-based Aesop bath products. Natural wood, woven rugs and a Pendleton wool blanket highlight the use of organic materials throughout. An evaporative cooling fan and wood-burning stove also make for the perfect sleeping environment from spring to fall.

Double-occupancy rates in July start at $549 per night.

Rooted in a commitment to sustainability, ULUM Moab offers Rivian Waypoints Level 2 chargers for guests with electric vehicles to adventure responsibly and enjoy the convenience of an overnight charge.
