USA | IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of the 480-acre Six Senses Camp Korongo resort and residential community near Kanab, at the heart of southern Utah’s most sought-after destinations.
Anticipated to open in 2029, Six Senses Camp Korongo will offer a desert sanctuary anchored in stunning canyon views and pay homage to the location’s cultural history.
Enveloped by southern Utah’s iconic sculpted rocks and wide desert skies, the 41 luxury tented pavilions and 12 branded residences at Six Senses Camp Korongo will awaken the senses in this extraordinary location. A contrast of textures and colour palettes harmonising with the desert sightlines and wild beauty of the surrounding juniper forest will instil calmness and awe.
Natural rhythms will guide guest experiences through hiking ancient trails, canyoneering sheer faces, or stargazing beneath the darkest skies in the region. Opportunities for exploration and discovery will abound through proximity to timeless and treasured national parks, including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Arches, all of which can be seen from the site. Back within the desert refuge, Six Senses Spa will immerse guests on a journey of internal discovery, depending on how deep they want to go in the pursuit of well-being.
Inspired by its ambition to set a new standard in ultra-luxury experiential travel in the Americas, the signing of Six Senses Camp Korongo continues the brand’s thoughtful expansion. Cultivated with care and intention, each property infuses the Six Senses ethos in its own authentic way. Locations are chosen for their unique surroundings, natural beauty, and ability to inspire deeper connection.
“Six Senses Camp Korongo will blend the brand’s distinctive values and touchpoints in a unique location while also underscoring our growth plan for the brand in the Americas,” said Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer.
“As outdoor exploration, natural connection and wellness continue to inspire luxury travellers, we’re delighted to bring this desert adventure to life alongside the exceptional team at Canyon Global Partners.”
Six Senses Camp Korongo emerges through a shared vision with owners Canyon Global Partners, and marks IHG’s first engagement with the Larkspur, California–based developer whose work is closely attuned to the landscapes of the American Southwest. The desert oasis will take shape through South Africa–based architecture and design studio Luxury Frontiers, guided by nature-centric and sustainable design principles.
