Ivins, UT — Southern Utah is slated to welcome a new era of hospitality with the soft preview opening of Black Desert Resort on October 16, 2024. Spanning over 600 acres and set at the convergence of three major ecosystems—the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau—the highly-anticipated resort will open its doors for an initial preview phase following the Black Desert Championship, part of the PGA TOUR’s 2024 FedExCup, taking place on the resort’s Tom Weiskopf-designed championship course, October 9-13, 2024.
Set to become Utah’s largest resort when complete in Spring 2025, the resort’s preview period will introduce a collection of guest rooms and suites, seven food & beverage dining outlets including a statement-making steakhouse and a family-friendly open-air dining experience, along with 45,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and events space. A heated outdoor pool and hot tub will round out the initial offerings. Perfectly situated amidst the sprawling, centuries-old canvas of striking black lava beds and burnt-red sandstone cliffs of Greater Zion, Black Desert Resort will also offer easy access to more than 200 acres of preserved land, six miles of hiking trails, scenic bike paths, and more, lending itself as the perfect launchpad for adventurous and engaging travelers.
