Luxury Outdoor Resort ULUM Moab Awarded Two MICHELIN Keys
Recognition Marks a Major Milestone Just One Year After Grand Opening
Denver, Colo. (April 2024) – ULUM Moab, the safari-inspired luxury outdoor resort from Under Canvas, has been awarded two MICHELIN Keys—an extraordinary recognition achieved just over a year since the property’s debut. Nestled beside the iconic Looking Glass Arch, ULUM Moab invites guests to experience refined comfort, contemporary design, and world-class hospitality immersed in the natural beauty of the Utah desert.
The MICHELIN Guide introduced its Keys to spotlight exceptional hotel experiences across the globe. Each recipient is evaluated on five criteria: architectural and interior design, quality and consistency of service, unique personality and character, overall value, and the property’s ability to deliver a memorable guest experience in its specific setting. ULUM Moab’s inclusion on the inaugural MICHELIN Key list places it among the most distinguished stays worldwide.
“We are incredibly honored to receive two MICHELIN Keys,” said Matt Gaghen, CEO of Under Canvas. “This recognition underscores our commitment to reimagining outdoor hospitality through thoughtful design, personalized service, and a meaningful connection to nature. It’s a proud moment for our entire team and a testament to their passion and dedication.”
Set on 200 acres of breathtaking desert landscape, ULUM Moab is the flagship property of the ULUM brand. Designed to harmonize with its surroundings, the resort features architecture that mirrors the desert’s natural contours, floor-to-ceiling windows framing Looking Glass Arch and Canyonlands National Park, and a lobby crafted with organic materials that flows seamlessly onto a terraced deck with yoga platforms, firepits, dipping pools, and panoramic views.
Each 360-square-foot canvas Suite Tent blends comfort and sophistication, with king-size beds, Parachute linens, West Elm furnishings, private decks, ensuite bathrooms stocked with Aēsop products, and design touches like Pendleton wool blankets and natural wood accents. Guests can enjoy gourmet dining, wellness programming, and curated outdoor adventures—from rafting and rock climbing to national park excursions—through ULUM’s dedicated experience team.
Dining at ULUM Moab celebrates the Southwest with high-quality, locally inspired dishes and craft cocktails featuring regional ingredients such as prickly pear and sage, all served either indoors or al fresco against the dramatic desert backdrop. An on-site espresso and smoothie bar adds a touch of luxury to the open-air experience.
Reflecting the brand’s deep commitment to sustainability, the resort offers EV charging, adheres to International Dark Sky principles, and partners with The Nature Conservancy to support conservation efforts and climate education—inviting guests to join in making a positive impact.
