Hyatt has recently announced an exciting partnership with Under Canvas, a company that specialises in providing luxurious outdoor accommodations near some of the most breathtaking national parks and natural landmarks in the United States. This collaboration opens up a world of possibilities for travellers seeking unique and immersive experiences in nature.
The partnership allows World of Hyatt members and guests to book stays at 13 Under Canvas locations across the U.S. These “camps” offer safari-inspired tents equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst stunning landscapes. Guests can enjoy various activities, including stargazing, campfires, yoga and children’s programs. The camps also prioritise sustainability and offer locally sourced, wholesome food options.
DarkSky-certified Camp
The partnership also highlights Under Canvas’ commitment to preserving the natural beauty of its locations. Five of their camps in Utah and Arizona have been recognised as the world’s first DarkSky-certified resorts, demonstrating their dedication to minimise light pollution and promoting stargazing opportunities.
With minimal artificial light interference, the Milky Way, constellations and even meteor showers become vividly visible. This creates a special opportunity for guests to connect with the natural world and appreciate the wonders of the cosmos. These camps are not only preserving the night sky but also protecting nocturnal wildlife and their habitats. This focus on sustainability aligns with Hyatt’s own environmental initiatives, making the partnership even more meaningful.
Digital Detox Experience
The absence of Wi-Fi and TVs at the Under Canvas camps encourages a digital detox, fostering genuine connections and a deeper appreciation for the natural surroundings. As night falls, the sky becomes a canvas for stars, the air fills with music and the warmth of the fire invites the sharing of s’mores. Guests can enjoy board games, complimentary selected hot drinks and the assistance of guest experience coordinators.
The accommodations themselves enhance the unplugged experience. In the tents, guests will find USB battery packs and battery-powered fans for comfort and a wood-burning stove, lanterns and organic oils bath products for essentials. This unplugged stay calls for analogue pleasures: film cameras, extra reading, packs of cards or journals, say. The absence of modern distractions encourages guests to embrace the simplicity of nature and rediscover the joy of connecting with themselves, their companions and the world around them.
Outdoor Resort
One of the standout features of this partnership is the inclusion of ULUM Moab, the first resort under Under Canvas’ new ULUM brand. ULUM Moab sets a new standard for glamping, offering a truly indulgent and unforgettable outdoor experience. Guests can enjoy expert-led excursions, exploring the rugged beauty of nearby national parks through climbing and rafting adventures.
Indulge further with a dip in the inviting plunge pools or a delectable meal at the full-service restaurant, featuring refined Southwest-inspired dishes. The resort’s complimentary wellness programming further enhances the connection to nature, offering yoga classes, sound bath meditations and plant medicine walks.
Member Privileges
The collaboration between Hyatt and Under Canvas extends exclusive benefits to World of Hyatt members. The partnership allows members to earn and redeem their valuable points at all participating Under Canvas locations, including the luxurious ULUM Moab.

The integration of Under Canvas into the World of Hyatt platform makes booking and managing these unique outdoor stays even more convenient.
By combining Hyatt’s renowned hospitality with Under Canvas’ expertise in creating immersive outdoor accommodations, this collaboration promises to deliver unforgettable adventures in some of the most beautiful natural settings in the United States.
