A Canyon Oasis: Six Senses Desert Sanctuary to Emerge in Southern Utah

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today announces 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.

Brand Expansion:
Six Senses, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, is set to open a new luxury resort in Southern Utah.

Concept:
Designed as a “Canyon Oasis”, the property will emphasize wellness, sustainability, and immersive experiences in harmony with the desert landscape.

Location:
Nestled among dramatic canyons and red rock formations, offering guests direct access to Utah’s iconic natural beauty.

Features:
- Wellness programs rooted in Six Senses’ holistic philosophy.
- Eco‑friendly architecture blending into the desert terrain.
- Adventure and nature experiences such as hiking, stargazing, and cultural explorations.

Strategic Note:
This marks Six Senses’ continued growth in North America, bringing its signature blend of luxury + sustainability to one of the most scenic regions in the U.S.

This project is particularly interesting because it mirrors IHCL’s move with Tree of Life Sariska Manor in Rajasthan—both highlight a trend where global hospitality brands are anchoring new properties in ecologically rich, culturally significant destinations.
