Black Desert Resort Unveils New Resort Center
Black Desert Resort, a premier destination for luxury hospitality, adventure, and golf, proudly announced the opening of its new resort center located in Ivins, Utah. This expansive hub, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Southern Utah's striking black lava beds and burnt-red sandstone cliffs, aims to redefine luxury and adventure for travelers seeking a unique escape.
A Landscape of Luxury and Adventure
The recently completed resort center features an impressive 447 rooms and suites that come in two distinct collections: the Hotel Collection and the Resort Collection. Guests at the resort can indulge in seven diverse dining options, enjoy a rejuvenating experience at the sprawling 15,000-square-foot Plume Spa & Wellness, and relax in an infinity-edge pool complete with private cabanas. Moreover, the centerpiece of outdoor activities includes a remarkable 19-hole championship golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf, which plays host to prestigious events on the PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour.
In addition to its luxurious amenities, guests will appreciate a vast array of recreational activities, with more than 600 acres of scenic landscapes. This includes 200 acres of preserved wildlife land, picturesque hiking trails, and bicycle paths providing direct access to neighboring landmarks like Snow Canyon and Zion National Park.
Design Inspired by Nature
The vision behind Black Desert Resort is to create a luxury experience deeply connected to the region's rich natural canvas. Patrick Manning, the Managing Partner, expressed that their aim was to avoid cliché Southwest motifs and instead focus on letting the raw beauty of the Greater Zion area inform their design choices. With input from Scottsdale-based Allen & Philp Architects and the Madrid-based firm GVI, the resort's design embodies a contemporary desert aesthetic.
Inside, elements like rich basalt, warm woods, and glowing glass invoke the natural hues of the desert, while expansive windows provide sweeping views of the resort's stunning landscapes. Each room and suite across the three accommodation collections are crafted to provide a harmonious blend of comfort, luxury, and effortless access to resort amenities.
Culinary and Wellness Experiences
Dining at Black Desert Resort promises a culinary journey with seven distinct concepts, featuring everything from an elevated American steakhouse, Basalt, to the casual, open-air eatery, Latitude. Craft cocktails, artisan coffee, live entertainment, and a lively sports bar ensure that there's something for every palate.
The Plume Spa & Wellness stands not only as a cornerstone of relaxation but also as a hub for rejuvenation. Guests can partake in innovative treatments tailored to promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical rejuvenation, including high-tech wellness equipment that enhances overall wellbeing.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Black Desert Resort holds a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. With 67% of the resort’s surroundings designated as protected open space, they have implemented sustainable practices in both construction and daily operations. Noteworthy initiatives include establishing protected habitats for local wildlife and a pioneering water-reuse system that underscores the resort's dedication to sustainability.
Future Developments
Starting at $399 per night, Black Desert Resort is set to expand further with plans for a water park, additional accommodations, and more dining and entertainment options in the future.
