With the constant hum of notifications and an endless news cycle, sometimes the greatest luxury is stepping away from it all. Picture this: sinking into the softest bed in the middle of a red-rock desert as the sky turns from blazing orange to a star-studded black. No Wi-Fi. No emails. No buzzing phone. Just you, a blanket, and the kind of silence that feels like therapy.
For those who love the idea of the outdoors but aren’t quite ready to “rough it,” glamping strikes the perfect balance: all the beauty of nature paired with comfort, design, and a dash of indulgence. It’s camping—without compromise.
Through its alliance with Under Canvas, World of Hyatt now makes this experience accessible at 14 destinations across the U.S., from Acadia to the Grand Canyon. Each safari-style tent comes with chic interiors, ultra-plush bedding, and thoughtful amenities. Add in curated experiences—like nightly campfires with s’mores, sunrise yoga, or guided hikes—and suddenly, this isn’t just a getaway. It’s an escape into wonder.
A Camp for Every Traveler
Wellness, adventure, or simply unwinding—there’s an Under Canvas that speaks to every side of you.
For the book lovers…
This summer brings Camp Unwritten, a collaboration with Reese’s Book Club. Imagine storytime reimagined: curated reads, firelit conversations, and outdoor adventures woven into a narrative-worthy retreat. Whether you choose Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge, Great Smoky Mountains, or ULUM Moab (a luxe spin introduced in 2023), you’ll feel like the main character in your own summer novel. Can’t make it? Create your own version—pick a favorite book, invite friends, and let the landscape set the stage at a camp like Under Canvas Glacier.
For the wellness seekers…
If digital detox tops your list, swap blue light for starlight at Under Canvas Moab. Start with a sunrise hike to Delicate Arch, wander through the Garden of Eden rock formations, or raft the Colorado River. Evenings can be as quiet as stargazing in solitude or as lively as acoustic sets around the communal fire pit. Yoga mats are included, so mornings begin with movement before the day’s desert adventures.
Or, head to Under Canvas Lake Powell–Grand Staircase, one of the world’s first DarkSky-certified resorts. Perched on a canyon rim, it offers not just cosmic views, but also access to Lake Powell’s boating, swimming, and water skiing. After a day of red-rock exploration, retreat to a luxe tent with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and rustic wood décor that mirrors the landscape outside. Nights here are all about music, storytelling, and uninterrupted skies.
For the adventurers…
At Under Canvas Bryce Canyon, every day feels like an expedition. Hike through high-alpine plateaus and spires of sandstone hoodoos, go canyoneering, or raft down the Sevier River. Come evening, retreat to a Stargazer tent—complete with ceiling windows above the bed and a wood-burning stove—and let the galaxy be your nightlight. Seasonal menus, sunset views from your porch, and nightly s’mores seal the deal.
Comfort in the Wild
Across all locations, tents are designed for comfort and connection: private decks with chairs for sunrise coffee, king-size beds with luxe linens, and (for Deluxe, Stargazer, and Suite tents) private bathrooms. Families and groups can book adjoining tents, while couples may prefer the Stargazer for its celestial ceiling window. This is camping made stylish, spacious, and—most importantly—restful.
Rewards Under the Stars
For World of Hyatt members, the adventure comes with perks. Stays at Under Canvas earn points redeemable at Hyatt properties worldwide—and for a limited time, travelers can also earn 1 American Airlines AAdvantage® bonus mile per $1 spent on eligible bookings made through Hyatt (for stays June 15–Sept. 15, 2025). Register by Sept. 14 to qualify.
That means the magic doesn’t end when you pack up your weekender. The points you earn under a canopy of stars can take you from sipping champagne in Paris to watching sunsets in Bali. In other words, those cozy campfires are just the beginning.
The Takeaway
Glamping with Under Canvas and World of Hyatt isn’t about choosing between adventure and luxury—it’s about blending both. It’s where mornings start with yoga beneath red cliffs, afternoons are filled with hiking or reading in a hammock, and evenings are wrapped in constellations. So leave the sleeping bag at home. Your summer story starts under canvas—and ends wherever your points take you next.
