Outbound Sedona
Announcing Outbound Sedona: a Bold New Retreat Nestled in the Red Rocks
Outbound Hotels announces the upcoming opening of Outbound Sedona, a landmark addition in the brand's portfolio of outdoor-inspired destinations. The news comes alongside an expanded strategic partnership with CoralTree Hospitality, which now manages Outbound's existing properties, including The Virginian Lodge in Jackson Hole, WY, underscoring the brand's rapid national growth and position as a leader in nature-first hospitality. These milestones mark a new era for the brand, reinforcing its commitment to delivering thoughtfully designed, accessibly priced stays in locations where outdoor adventure, design, and culture intersect.
Launching for stays in Q2 2026, Outbound Sedona brings a fresh take on desert lodging just minutes from Uptown Sedona. Designed with The Gettys Group, the 138-room resort channels its red rock surroundings through modern Pueblo-inspired architecture, layered interiors, and sunbaked textures that reflect the high desert landscape.
Room types include kings, bunk rooms, and the spacious Serenity Suite — an expansive hospitality suite true to its name. Select accommodations feature patios, fireplaces, or kitchenettes. The newly enhanced spa offers an outdoor adults-only pool, dry sauna, cold plunge, and private treatment rooms.
The Outbound team has reimagined the property's heart with a showstopping new pool complex, Moonwater, a Zen-like retreat inspired by golden-hour lounging, evening stargazing, and the celestial beauty above. Anchored by two grand, tiered pools of roughly 2,000 square feet each, the upper and lower decks feature dual hot tubs and inviting fire pits, all perfectly oriented for uninterrupted views of Sedona's iconic Bell Rock. Wellness-minded offerings extend beyond the spa, with programming such as tea flights, fresh-pressed juice shots, and hydrating elixirs designed to complement the desert climate.
Additional highlights include a light-filled lobby lounge serving local coffee, accented by mural-style graphics, and a refreshed retail experience. The forthcoming restaurant and terrace, Lucida— also reimagined by the Folkart team— will offer seamless indoor-outdoor dining that opens onto the courtyard. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, Lucida is rooted, wildcrafted, and desert-wise. Its fresh, nourishing menu spotlights local ingredients and bold Southwestern flavors with a modern twist — from prickly pear parfaits and mesquite salmon to ancient grain bowls and house-blend steakburgers. Each dish is crafted to sustain and restore, channeling the energy of the high desert. The experience is intentional, balanced, and welcoming, ideal for adventurers seeking to fuel up or slow down. True to the Outbound ethos, programming will be relaxed, locally inspired, and designed to bring travelers together under the stars.
Bookings for Outbound Sedona will open on November 3, giving travelers early access to one of the most anticipated outdoor-driven properties of 2026. The travel window for Sedona will begin within Q2 2026.
With more openings and destination-driven concepts on the horizon, Outbound Hotels remains committed to delivering comfort without conformity, rethinking not just where travelers stay, but how they feel while they're there. More details on each property's food and beverage offerings, local partnerships, programming, and upcoming activations will be shared in the months ahead.
