Experience the Grand Canyon like never before with a stay in a sky dome

One of the most distinctive and breathtaking accommodations you can lock in for your upcoming Grand Canyon trip is only around 20 minutes away from the South Rim. Clear Sky Resorts, which was established in 2020, is the original and exclusive hotel option of its kind. The luxurious glamping experience takes place in Arizona and is viewed from a geodesic sky dome.

Visitors will learn to appreciate the peaceful setting as they travel along the magnificent rock trails. The opulent private domes provide an unparalleled chance to totally disconnect from the outside world and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

There’s a dome for every kind of traveler among the roughly 45 available, all with their own unique themes. A sky dome for two is the perfect choice for an intimate trip. On the other hand, if you are planning a family vacation, an escape with friends, or a girls’ trip, you can reserve a dome that can comfortably house up to seven people.

The Standard Sky Dome at the Grand Canyon is perfect for couples as it features a queen bed and can accommodate two people. Enjoy the breathtaking views through the large panoramic windows and a cozy homemade log bed set. For bigger groups, the XL sky dome is an excellent option that can accommodate up to five people with one queen bed in the main room and another queen bed with a twin bed in the loft.

The most appealing rooms, however, have a unique style, notes Travel Noire. Seven guests can stay comfortably in the Space Galaxy Sky Dome suite. As you enter, you will be sent to a distant planet in a distant galaxy. The dome’s spacey blues and purples are a nod to the cosmos. Supersized circular galaxy beds and bunk beds in the shape of space pods are also pretty cool.

A whole unicorn fantasy is captured by the Pink Unicorns and Rainbows themed sky dome. You are welcomed inside by lovely pink tones and walls covered in vivid rainbows and unicorns.

To add a dreamy vibe to the dome that can fit five people, the fluffy heart-shaped pillows make for a perfect final touch.

In addition to stargazing, guests can enjoy a wide range of amenities and activities while staying on the property. One such attraction is the impressive Welcome Dome, which boasts a 1,000-square-foot panoramic window and swinging chairs from its 26-foot ceiling.

As for food, there is an on-site food truck that offers breakfast and dinner. S’mores will be available for visitors to enjoy next to the resort’s hand-crafted fire pit. There is a golf course, a set of enormous jump cushions, and a playground for families vacationing with kids. More activities include sunrise yoga and live music in the afternoon.

The resort provides various learning opportunities such as Native American storytelling and flute-making. For those who prefer relaxing evenings, they can enjoy movie nights in the resort’s projection dome and play glow-in-the-dark frisbee golf.

Every sky dome has climate-controlled heating and air conditioning. Privacy curtains, fine bedding, soft towels, and a contemporary private bathroom with a rain shower provide the most luxurious glamping experience.

In addition to on-site activities, there are also off-site options such as Kaibab National Forest, Raptor Ranch, hiking and biking trails, ziplining, and horseback riding.

The nightly cost of a stay in one of the sky domes is between $350 and $550. To reserve a room or find out more about Clear Sky Resorts, head over to the company’s website.
