Save on Stays at This New Luxury Grand Canyon Property

A new, luxury eco-resort opens soon, on Sept. 1, near the Grand Canyon.

The glamping-style resort, Backland, sits in northern Arizona’s backcountry, surrounded by pine forests. The tents — which hardly look like tents — are outfitted like suites, with multiple spaces, indoors and out. Large, panoramic windows and skylights allow you to take in the natural scenery, regardless of the weather.

Climate control keeps you comfortable. The only reason you might ever need to leave your tent is to enjoy farm-to-table cuisine at the resort’s restaurant, or to enjoy the luxe common spaces, such as the beach or spa. On-site activities abound, but, of course, you’re close to lots of Arizona’s best attractions, too, such as the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff and Sedona.

If you’re one of the first travelers to stay at this new property, you can save 20 percent off your room rate if you book your tent before Aug. 15, for stays throughout the rest of the year (barring blackout dates and holidays). Just use code grandopening when booking. You have several rooms to choose from, from the standard Backland Suite, with its king and queen beds to sleep four travelers, to the expansive Grand Sky Suite, which sleeps six and is ideal for families with its twin bunk beds.
