CHICAGO – World of Hyatt is inviting guests and members to immerse themselves in memorable outdoor experiences and stays at Under Canvas’ 13 outdoor resorts, including Under Canvas’ new luxury outdoor resort, ULUM Moab. The new alliance provides members with unprecedented access to iconic, upscale experiences across many U.S. national parks and other notable outdoor destinations. World of Hyatt members can now book their stays at Under Canvas camps and ULUM Moab through Hyatt to start earning and redeeming points.
“Travelers are looking for new and unique experiences to reconnect with nature in off-the-beaten-path locations. By adding these luxury outdoor camps to World of Hyatt, we are bringing more memorable travel experiences for our guests and members,” said Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer, Hyatt. “Hyatt offers one of the fastest-growing luxury portfolios globally and with the inclusion of these incredible Under Canvas camps in World of Hyatt, we continue to double down on this focus and bring immense value to our rapidly growing member base.”
The Under Canvas and ULUM outdoor resorts offer World of Hyatt members some of the most sought-after and curated luxury outdoor experiences. Spread across spectacular destinations in the U.S., such as Montana’s Yellowstone National Park, Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia National Park in Maine and Yosemite National Park in California (anticipated opening in May 2025), Under Canvas camps offer extraordinary upscale hospitality, with safari-inspired tents and complimentary programming such as nightly campfires with s’mores, board games, yoga and kid’s activities. The camps also offer wholesome and nutritious food and beverage options through innovative menus that embrace seasonality and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

Notably, Under Canvas’ five “Grand Circle” camps across Utah and Arizona are the first-ever DarkSky-certified resorts in the world – a testament to the brands’ commitment to minimizing light pollution and protecting the night sky. Grounded in its ‘Mindful Approach’ ethos, the camps are designed to minimize disturbance, maximize open spaces and flow with the natural topography of the land.
In an effort to reduce energy and water usage, Under Canvas camps feature pull-chain showers, low-flow toilets, rechargeable battery pack chargers, and low-level lighting. Under Canvas’ safari-inspired tents provide comfort in nature, with king-size beds, luxe linens, USB charging packs, bedside lanterns and a wood-burning stove, with the majority of tent types offering private decks with views and ensuite bathrooms. To encourage immersion in nature, Under Canvas camps do not offer Wi-Fi. For tech-savvy travelers, ULUM Moab offers Wi-Fi connection in its contemporary, temperature controlled, lobby lounge and restaurant.
Following the initial Mr & Mrs Smith integration of more than 700 global boutique and luxury hotels and resorts into World of Hyatt, select Under Canvas camps and ULUM Moab are also now part of the Mr & Mrs Smith platform. Hyatt is expected to make even more Mr & Mrs Smith hotels available for members to book through Hyatt channels by the end of 2024.
