“Travelers are looking for new and unique experiences to reconnect with nature in off-the-beaten-path locations. By adding these luxury outdoor camps to World of Hyatt, we are bringing more memorable travel experiences for our guests and members,” said Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer, Hyatt. “Hyatt offers one of the fastest-growing luxury portfolios globally and with the inclusion of these incredible Under Canvas camps in World of Hyatt, we continue to double down on this focus and bring immense value to our rapidly growing member base.”
Luxury Safari-Inspired Stays Near the Most Iconic U.S. National Parks and Monuments
The Under Canvas and ULUM outdoor resorts offer World of Hyatt members some of the most sought-after and curated luxury outdoor experiences. Spread across spectacular destinations in the U.S., such as Montana’s Yellowstone National Park, Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia National Park in Maine and Yosemite National Park in California (anticipated opening in May 2025), Under Canvas camps offer extraordinary upscale hospitality, with safari-inspired tents and complimentary programming such as nightly campfires with s’mores, board games, yoga and kid’s activities. The camps also offer wholesome and nutritious food and beverage options through innovative menus that embrace seasonality and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

“Under Canvas is the leading outdoor resort company in the United States, with 13 locations outside of national parks and adventurous destinations such as Acadia, Glacier, Moab, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion,” said Matt Gaghen, chief executive officer of Under Canvas. “We’re looking forward to welcoming World of Hyatt members to our beautiful, safari-inspired camps so that they can 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.
