Red Mountain Resort in Ivins, Utah, closed its doors on November 26, 2025. For years it was a favorite for people who wanted a healthy getaway built around guided hikes in the red-rock country near St. George, with fitness classes, wellness programs and the Sagestone Spa to round out the day.
If Red Mountain was your annual reset, you’re probably wondering where to go next. Here’s what made it special, what to look for in your next retreat, and how Skyterra Wellness Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina compares.
What guests loved about Red Mountain
- Guided morning hikes through the canyons and trails of southern Utah, including nearby Snow Canyon State Park.
- A full daily schedule of fitness classes and wellness workshops.
- Healthy, satisfying meals that didn’t feel like a diet.
- Spa treatments to recover between adventures.
What to look for in your next hiking retreat
- Guided hikes every day, for every level. You shouldn’t have to choose between keeping up and holding back.
- A small group. Fewer guests means coaches who notice how you’re doing and adjust.
- One all-inclusive price. Lodging, meals, classes and transfers in one rate, so you’re not adding up extras.
- A credentialed team. Look for dietitians, physical therapists and licensed therapists, not just trainers.
- A plan for home. The best retreats teach habits that keep working after you leave.
How Skyterra compares
Skyterra is a different landscape, green forest and waterfalls instead of red rock, but the idea is the same: spend your days outside, move your body, eat well and go home with habits that last.

There are never more than 35 guests on campus, so the team knows you by name. See how a week works.
