The Lodge at Blue Sky in Utah opens its doors on May 1. Set on 3,500 acres just 15 minutes from Park City and about 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, this contemporary ranch blends easy access with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
“The Lodge at Blue Sky will be the ultimate outdoor playground, where upscale travelers can enjoy understated elegance with wild abandon,” said Albert Herrera, senior vice president, global product partnerships, Virtuoso. The property is designed to encourage guests to slow down and build meaningful connections with the land, animals and local community, reflecting a clear commitment to sustainability.
Accommodations include 46 suites across three distinct styles, ranging from light, loft-like rooms to two-level apartments. Construction uses regional materials and design elements that echo the natural setting, creating interiors that feel both modern and grounded.
The on-site spa offers yoga, guided meditation and personalized treatments tailored to each guest. Dining focuses on seasonal, organic and locally sourced ingredients, many of which are grown and harvested on the ranch itself. The property also features a working distillery; as Utah’s first legal distiller, High West Distillery leads tastings and tours for guests who want to learn more about local craft spirits.
Outdoor activities vary by season. In summer, guests can go horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking or mountain biking across the ranch’s varied terrain. In winter, complimentary transfers to Park City Resort are available, and the lodge can arrange helicopter transfers for heli-skiing and heli-snowboarding adventures.
Families are welcome, with a dedicated Little Vaqueros program for children. Daily themed excursions are designed for different age groups and include horsemanship lessons, riding, fishing, wildlife outings and supervised farm activities, giving young guests hands-on experiences with ranch life.
Overall, the Lodge at Blue Sky combines thoughtful design, locally focused food and beverage, year-round outdoor recreation and family-friendly programming to offer an immersive ranch experience close to Park City and Salt Lake City.
