experience true comfort in nature in these amazing destinations. This exciting
collaboration with Hyatt will further our goal of connecting more people with
extraordinary places, people, and the planet by enhancing access to the
outdoors.”
Notably,
Under Canvas’ five “Grand Circle” camps across Utah and Arizona are the first-ever
DarkSky-certified resorts in the world – a testament to the brands’
commitment to minimizing light pollution and protecting the night sky. Grounded
in its ‘Mindful Approach’ ethos, the camps are designed to minimize
disturbance, maximize open spaces and flow with the natural topography of the
land.
In
an effort to reduce energy and water usage, Under Canvas camps feature
pull-chain showers, low-flow toilets, rechargeable battery pack chargers, and
low-level lighting. Under Canvas’ safari-inspired tents provide comfort in
nature, with king-size beds, luxe linens, USB charging packs, bedside lanterns
and a wood-burning stove, with the majority of tent types offering private
decks with views and ensuite bathrooms. To encourage immersion in nature, Under
Canvas camps do not offer Wi-Fi. For tech-savvy travelers, ULUM Moab offers
Wi-Fi connection in its contemporary, temperature controlled, lobby lounge and
restaurant.
