Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) is launching a new luxury retreat in Moab, Utah, at the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, to meet the growing demand for luxury properties in the region.
A&K says the addition to its Sanctuary portfolio comes as “tens of millions of people visit the national parks of the American West each year, yet luxury lodging remains surprisingly limited”, saying it’s “uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand”.
Designed for 40 guests and due to open in 2027, the property will be set among dramatic canyons and private trails.
The one- to two-bedroom standalone suites will be designed with generous spaces, indoor-outdoor flow and “understated elegance”.
A spa and “spaces for reflection and restoration” will be dotted throughout the property.
Days will be spent hiking, biking and rafting, as well as touring with experts on scenic drives, geological interpretation, cultural encounters and photography excursions.
A&K CEO Cristina Levis says, “Moab is a place of awe-inspiring natural beauty and limitless potential for meaningful exploration”.
“It already captivates millions with its dramatic landscapes and adventurous spirit. What we are creating is something that complements that energy, a new kind of retreat that invites travellers to engage with this setting in a deeper, more soulful way.
“It is an evolution of the brand’s ethos of adventure by day, luxury by night, brought to life in the heart of the American West.”
A&K Chief Destination Officer Rebecca Osman says, “This new retreat will offer the space, stillness and sense of place that today’s travellers are seeking, while providing the comfort, care and expert guidance that have always been hallmarks of the brand experience”.
“Whether guests are looking for active exploration or a more restorative escape, this retreat will allow them to experience the American West in a way that feels deeply personal and enriching.”
A&K Sanctuary, which currently includes 13 lodges and camps across Africa and four riverboats in Egypt, will soon be joined by a wave of new developments, including Gorilla Forest Lodge in Uganda and Baines’ Camp in Botswana – both being rebuilt and due for completion in 2025.
New riverboat, Pure Amazon, will also launch on the Peruvian Amazon this year, and Kitirua Plains Lodge in Kenya’s Amboseli region is set to open in 2026.
Feasibility studies for new properties are also underway in Australia and across several locations in South America, including Bolivia.
