Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) will add to its A&K Sanctuary portfolio with a new luxury retreat in Moab, Utah, scheduled to open in 2027. The property will accommodate 40 guests in one- and two-bedroom standalone suites near Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.

The retreat will feature private trails, a spa and other wellness offerings and a central lodge. Guests will have access to activities including hiking, biking, rafting and expert-led tours focused on geology, culture and photography.

"Moab is a place of awe-inspiring natural beauty and limitless potential for meaningful exploration," said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. "It already captivates millions with its dramatic landscapes and adventurous spirit. What we are creating is something that complements that energy, a new kind of retreat that invites travelers to engage with this setting in a deeper, more soulful way. It is an evolution of A&K's ethos of adventure by day, luxury by night, brought to life in the heart of the American West."

The announcement comes amid substantial growth for A&K Sanctuary, which currently operates 13 lodges and camps across Africa and four riverboats in Egypt. The company is rebuilding Gorilla Forest Lodge in Uganda and Baines' Camp in Botswana, both set for completion in 2025. A&K will also launch Pure Amazon in 2025, a new riverboat on the Peruvian Amazon, while Kitirua Plains Lodge in Kenya's Amboseli region is planned for 2026.

"For our guests, luxury is not defined by excess but by access, connection and meaning,” said Rebecca Osman, chief destination officer at A&K Travel Group. “This new retreat in Moab is designed to honor that philosophy. It will offer the space, stillness and sense of place that today's travelers are seeking, while providing the comfort, care and expert guidance that have always been hallmarks of the A&K experience."

More details about the Moab project will be announced in coming months.
