Why Choose a Desert Retreat for Healing and Wellness
There is a quiet power in the desert. A vast horizon, sculpted stone, and starlit skies combine to remind us that we are part of something ancient and enduring. ULUM Moab invites you into this landscape to pause, restore, and reconnect. Here, a true desert retreat unfolds – where luxury comforts meet wild wellness, and grounding rituals and desert-inspired cuisine open a path back to balance and exploration in nature.
The Transformative Power of Desert Wellness
The desert is unlike any other place. Its stillness holds space for awareness. Its rugged terrain offers grounding. Its skies, clear and endless, invite you to live fully in the present moment. Wellness here is not an escape; it is a return. ULUM Moab harnesses these natural gifts, offering stays and curated experiences that align body, mind, and spirit with the elements of earth and sky.
Immersion in Nature, Elevated by Design
At ULUM Moab, you can enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort. Safari-inspired Suite Tents are thoughtfully designed sanctuaries: king-size beds with Parachute linens, ensuite rain showers with Aēsop amenities, in-tent cooling, robes, wood-burning stoves, and private decks perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Every detail transforms your desert retreat into a home away from home, where refined design enhances your connection to the wild.
Wild Wellness in the Desert
ULUM’s wellness programming flows with the rhythm of the land. Begin your day with guided yoga beneath wide open desert skies. Join a crystal sound meditation, a tea blending session, or a guided nature walk to learn about nature’s bounty and the desert’s medicinal plants. Take a short nature walk to Looking Glass Rock, where sweeping canyon views create space for stillness. Rejuvenate your body in contrast plunge pools – hot and cool dipping pools designed to invigorate circulation and soothe muscles after adventure.
For deep relaxation, book an in-tent massage treatment tailored to your needs. As daylight fades, ULUM offers nightly stargazing, wellness in its most cosmic form, as you align with the vastness of the universe above.
Fuel Your Body With Desert-Inspired Cuisine
Wellness extends to the table. ULUM’s full-service restaurant serves healthy, seasonal dishes from sunrise smoothies and hearty breakfasts to evening short rib tacos, paired with regional wines or desert-inspired mocktails. Each meal is crafted to fuel your body and delight your senses. Dine al fresco on the terrace or in our lounge with floor-to-ceiling views of Looking Glass Arch. End the night fireside, with gourmet s’mores beneath a canopy of stars.
Adventures in Nature
Connecting with nature takes many forms, whether it’s a slow paddle along the river, a scenic hike through Arches or Canyonlands, or an adrenaline-fueled ride across desert terrain.
