Lazalu, Zion Retreat

Lazalu sits on 240 acres of untouched desert wilderness just outside Virgin, offering complete privacy with sweeping views of Zion's towering cliffs. The property features unique open-air suites (like the Adobe Suite) where you sleep under the stars and wake to sunrise over the canyon. No walls between you and the night sky.

The retreat specializes in intimate gatherings. Couples book it for elopements with Zion as their backdrop. Groups rent the entire property for yoga retreats or friend getaways. The shared spaces include a beautiful communal kitchen and an expansive patio that's perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks while watching the light change on the canyon walls.

You're truly alone out here. The wild desert landscape feels untamed, with native plants and red rock formations stretching in every direction. It's about 15 minutes from Zion's main entrance, but the seclusion makes it feel like you're in your own private corner of southern Utah. The property works best for travelers who want something completely different from a standard hotel room.

This isn't a place for everyone. The open-air concept means you're essentially glamping in a very upscale way. But if you want to fall asleep under a blanket of stars and wake up to unobstructed canyon views, Lazalu delivers an experience you won't find anywhere else near Zion.
