Six Senses Camp Korongo
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.
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 color palettes harmonizing with the desert sightlines and wild beauty of the surrounding juniper forest will instill 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 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.
Six Senses Camp Korongo is a considered addition to the brand's emerging footprint in the Americas - which includes forthcoming openings in Mexico (Six Senses Xala), Belize (Six Senses Belize), Pennsylvania (Six Senses RiverStone Estate) and Colorado (Six Senses Telluride).
From urban escapes to chic retreats and showstopping resorts, IHG's luxury & lifestyle portfolio offers scenic backdrops and once-in-a-lifetime experiences to fulfill any traveler's desires. Luxury & lifestyle branded hotels account for 22 percent of IHG's global pipeline, with nearly 300 open and pipeline properties in the Americas alone.* Planned 2026 luxury & lifestyle Americas openings include InterContinental properties in Grenada and Palm Springs, Calif.; Kimpton hotels set to open doors in New York City, Mexico City and Riviera Maya, Mexico, and Pacific Grove, Calif. (among others); and distinct, locally-infused Vignette Collection hotels in Miami, Santo Domingo, D.R., and Valladolid, Mexico.
