SEDONA, Ariz.— Outbound Hotels continues its expansion with the debut of Outbound Sedona, a reimagined desert retreat located just minutes from Uptown Sedona. The 138-room resort, which opened in May, 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 5, 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 is Moonwater, a two-tiered pool retreat with hot tubs and firepits, which offers sweeping views of Bell Rock and a relaxed setting for small bites, chilled drinks, and poolside lounging. Select evenings will also feature “Moonwater Sessions,” a desert-inspired music experience set against Sedona’s sunset backdrop.
The resort also will include a forthcoming signature restaurant, Lucida Desert Kitchen + Bar. Developed in partnership with Folkart Management, the restaurant will offer indoor-outdoor dining and will feature a nourishing, high-desert menu rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and bold Southwestern flavors, from prickly pear parfaits to mesquite salmon.
For meetings and events, the resort features 44,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor space to create the perfect balance of connection, inspiration, and calm. Venues include the 3,300-square-foot Outbound Ballroom, Cottonwood and Sedona meeting rooms, the Serenity Suite for intimate gatherings, and outdoor lawn, terrace, and pool space. In addition, Lucida Desert Kitchen + Bar provides the perfect canvas for private dinners, receptions, or wine-driven gatherings infused with the flavors of Sedona.
Outbound Sedona’s emphasis on wellness and adventure is reflected in its amenities and activities. Guests can access the fitness center, enjoy tennis and pickleball on the resort’s four hard courts, and take advantage of bike rentals, trail-ready essentials, and local route recommendations through the onsite Gear Garage. 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.
Outbound Sedona joins the growing Outbound Hotels portfolio, which includes properties in Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite, Calif., and Park City, Utah.
