AD | Mars called and it wants Black Desert Resort back 🪐🌋
Nestled between ancient black lava fields and towering red rock cliffs sits Utah's largest resort. It's best known for its Championship golf course, but there’s so much more to do than meets the eye.
🌵Adventure: Black Desert Resort is minutes from Snow Canyon State Park and about 1 hour from Zion National Park making it the perfect home base for exploring Southern Utah. Black Desert connects guests to Southern Utah's most memorable experiences. Their amazing guides bring each adventure to life, whether you're hiking through Zion, exploring Snow Canyon by bike, enjoying a sunset yoga session, or chasing thrills with canyoneering, climbing, and other outdoor excursions.
⛳ Golf: The 19-hole Championship course at Black Desert Resort is the final design of golf architect Tom Weiskopf and winds and weaves dramatically through real lava rock formations. Golf enthusiasts will recognize Black Desert as the host of PGA TOUR events, which brought top-level professional golf back to Utah after over 60 years.
🧘Wellness: Slow things down with sound bath, meditation, yoga, Pilates and luxurious treatments at the onsite Plume Spa & Wellness. A curated menu of massages, facials, and body treatments leave you relaxed after a day of exploring.
🏓 Activities: With 21 world class pickleball courts, a full gym, arcade, and wellness classes, Black Desert Resort will have you working up a sweat in the best way.
🥗Dining + more: During your stay you can choose from seven dining options, including my favorite, Basalt, enjoy live entertainment, seasonal events, and even a waterpark is currently under construction!
Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, a wellness escape, a golf getaway or a little bit of everything, this place 100% belongs on your Southern Utah bucket list!
