SEDONA, AZ (June 1, 2026) — Outbound Hotels continues its expansion with the debut of Outbound Sedona, a reimagined desert retreat opened on May 7, 2026. Located just minutes from Uptown Sedona, the 138-room resort blends immersive design, wellness-forward amenities, and seamless access to the region’s iconic landscape.
Designed in partnership with The Gettys Group, Outbound Sedona channels its red rock surroundings through modern Pueblo-inspired architecture, sunbaked textures, and a warm, elemental palette. Accommodations range from king rooms and bunk rooms to the expansive Serenity Suite, with select offerings featuring patios, fireplaces, and kitchenettes.
“Outbound Sedona marks an exciting new chapter for the brand, bringing our approach to design, programming, and community into the heart of one of the country’s most striking landscapes,” said Matthew Mering, President of Outbound Hotels – A Waterton Hospitality Company. “With this property, we wanted to create a place that feels rooted in Sedona itself, where guests and locals can come together, slow down, and experience the red rocks in an authentic way.”
The Spa at Outbound Sedona marks the brand’s first spa, designed for recovery, restoration, and moments of pause. Opening on June 5th, the spa will feature four treatment rooms, a retail and lobby space, and enhanced amenities including an outdoor adults-only pool, dry sauna, and cold plunge.
At the heart of the property, Moonwater anchors the experience, a two-tiered pool retreat designed for golden-hour lounging, complete with hot tubs and fire pits and oriented toward sweeping views of Bell Rock. By day, Moonwater offers a relaxed setting for small bites, chilled drinks, and poolside lounging, transitioning into an evening destination for stargazing and fireside unwinding. Select evenings will also feature “Moonwater Sessions,” a desert-inspired music experience set against Sedona’s sunset backdrop.
The resort’s forthcoming signature restaurant, Lucida, developed in partnership with Folkart Management, will offer indoor-outdoor dining and a nourishing, high-desert menu rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and bold Southwestern flavors, from prickly pear parfaits to mesquite salmon.
Programming at Outbound Sedona reflects a balance of wellness and adventure. The on-site Gear Garage offers bikes, trail-ready essentials, and local route recommendations, while four hard courts support tennis and pickleball. The property also serves as a stop along the Verde Shuttle, a complimentary hop-on, hop-off service connecting visitors to Sedona’s most popular trailheads and scenic viewpoints.
As part of its opening season, Outbound Sedona will host “Rhythm & Rally,” a racket sport-focused weekend taking place June 6–7. The experience will feature dynamic clinics led by top instructors, along with guided movement, social play, and evening programming including live music. Guests can also book a dedicated stay package designed to immerse them in the full Outbound experience.
Outbound Sedona joins the growing Outbound Hotels portfolio, including properties in Jackson Hole, WY, Mammoth Lakes, CA, and Stowe, VT, with additional destinations on the horizon in Yosemite, CA and Park City, UT.
