Six Senses Camp Korongo to open in Utah in 2029
In the heart of southern Utah’s rugged and awe-inspiring landscapes, a new chapter in ultra-luxury travel is set to unfold. Six Senses Camp Korongo, a desert resort and residential community near Kanab, is destined to redefine experiential travel in the Americas and is scheduled to open in 2029.
Nestled amid the region’s sculpted sandstone canyons, wide-open skies, and iconic juniper forests, Six Senses Camp Korongo will offer 41 luxury tented pavilions and 12 branded residences designed to immerse guests fully in the desert’s raw splendor. The architecture, by South Africa–based studio Luxury Frontiers, embraces the philosophy of harmony with the environment, with earthy textures, muted color palettes, and design that mirrors the surrounding landscape. The result is a retreat where tranquility and awe coexist seamlessly, a place to disconnect and reconnect in equal measure.
The resort’s location is more than scenic—it’s a gateway to some of the nation’s most treasured natural wonders. Guests will find themselves just a stone’s throw from Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and even the Grand Canyon, all within reach for day trips or longer excursions. Hiking ancient trails, scaling sheer canyon faces, and stargazing beneath some of the darkest skies in the continental U.S. will transform every visit into an act of discovery. Those who prefer a more contemplative experience can retreat to the Six Senses Spa, where wellness rituals, holistic therapies, and immersive journeys into self-care offer a sanctuary for the mind, body, and spirit.
The resort represents a first-time collaboration between IHG and Canyon Global Partners, a Larkspur, California–based developer celebrated for creating ultra-luxury resorts in harmony with the landscapes of the American Southwest.
What sets Six Senses Camp Korongo apart is its philosophy of thoughtful, nature-centric development. Each pavilion and residence is carefully sited to maximize privacy, panoramic views, and interaction with the surrounding wilderness. Interior spaces will feature tactile materials, warm tones, and subtle references to local cultural heritage, creating an authentic connection to place. Even the outdoor experiences—from guided hikes and canyoneering to desert photography workshops—are curated to deepen a sense of wonder and engagement with the land.
Six Senses Camp Korongo is also a strategic addition to the brand’s growing footprint in the Americas, joining upcoming properties in Mexico (Six Senses Xala), Belize (Six Senses Belize), Pennsylvania (Six Senses RiverStone Estate), and Colorado (Six Senses Telluride). This expansion reinforces IHG’s vision to deliver ultra-luxury experiences that combine wellness, sustainability, and destination immersion.
IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio is equally dynamic, offering travelers a variety of immersive escapes. From InterContinental resorts in Grenada and Palm Springs to the city sophistication of Kimpton hotels in New York, Mexico City, and Riviera Maya, IHG caters to every type of traveler seeking unique experiences. The Vignette Collection adds another dimension, offering boutique, locally inspired hotels in Miami, Santo Domingo, and Valladolid, Mexico. Together, these brands account for 22 percent of IHG’s global pipeline, with nearly 300 open and upcoming properties across the Americas, cementing the group’s leadership in the luxury and lifestyle segment.
For adventurous travelers, Six Senses Camp Korongo promises more than just a luxurious stay—it offers a gateway to the soul of southern Utah. Imagine waking to the first rays of sun illuminating the canyon walls, spending the day navigating ancient landscapes, and ending the evening under a blanket of stars so clear they seem almost within reach. Here, luxury is not defined by opulence alone, but by connection—to nature, to culture, and to oneself.
Whether seeking rejuvenation at the spa, adventure across the desert, or a permanent residence in an unparalleled setting, guests at Six Senses Camp Korongo will find a rare blend of serenity and exhilaration. In doing so, IHG continues to raise the bar for luxury hospitality in the Americas, proving that thoughtful design, environmental respect, and authentic experiences can coexist with world-class comfort.
As anticipation builds toward its 2029 debut, Six Senses Camp Korongo is poised to become a desert icon, a place where the extraordinary landscapes of southern Utah meet the extraordinary vision of one of the world’s most respected luxury hotel brands.
