Black Desert Resort Getaway: Spa, Golf & Relaxation in Southern Utah
Sometimes the best trips aren’t about checking off sights—they’re about exhaling. That was exactly the spirit of our recent getaway to Black Desert Resort, a place that feels designed for slowing down while still indulging in everything that makes a vacation feel special.
From the moment we arrived, the landscape set the tone. Dramatic red rock views, wide open skies, and a sense of quiet luxury made it clear this wasn’t a rush-through kind of destination. It was a stay-a-while place.
A Relaxing Getaway to Black Desert Resort
We decided to take a quick trip down to St.George last weekend with Sammy to play some golf and enjoy the beautiful Black Desert Resort. This trip was a collaboration with Black Desert Resort.
A Spa Experience That Invites You to Truly Rest
One of the highlights of our stay was spending time at Plume Spa, part of the wellness experience at Black Desert Resort. This wasn’t just about treatments—it was about creating space to unwind. The spa feels serene and thoughtfully designed, encouraging you to linger rather than rush back to your room.
There are so many treatments to choose from. I had the Black Desert Custom massage with Crystal as my masseuse, and it was probably one of the best massages I have ever had!
After days filled with travel and everyday obligations, slipping into spa mode felt like a reset button. Soft lighting, calming textures, and an atmosphere that whispered “slow down” made it easy to let go of stress. It’s the kind of spa experience that reminds you how restorative intentional rest can be.
Golf With a View (Even If You’re Not Chasing a Low Score)
Black Desert is also a destination for golf lovers—and even for those who simply appreciate beautiful courses. The golf experience here is as much about the setting as it is the game. With sweeping desert views and meticulously maintained greens, every hole feels scenic.
Caddies at Black Desert Resort
Our caddie, Drew, was excellent!
Whether you’re an avid golfer or someone who enjoys a relaxed round paired with good company, the course offers that perfect blend of challenge and enjoyment. It’s social, it’s scenic, and it fits beautifully into a getaway where pleasure matters more than performance.
Dining at Black Desert Resort
A getaway isn’t complete without memorable meals, and dining at Black Desert Resort fits seamlessly into the experience of slowing down and savoring the moment. The on-site restaurant offerings feel elevated yet relaxed—perfect for lingering breakfasts, unhurried lunches, or a polished dinner after a day at the spa or on the course.
Guinness Braised Short Ribs at the 20th Hole
Menus highlight thoughtful preparation and a setting that invites you to stay awhile, whether you’re dining as a couple or sharing stories with friends. It’s the kind of place where good food becomes part of the rhythm of the trip rather than something squeezed in between activities.

Why Black Desert Works So Well as a Getaway
What made this trip especially memorable was the balance. Spa time and golf, relaxation and activity, luxury without feeling overdone. Black Desert Resort feels ideal for couples, friends, or anyone craving a refined escape that doesn’t demand an exhausting itinerary.
It’s a reminder that getaways don’t have to be far-flung or frantic to be meaningful. Sometimes the best trips are about comfort, connection, and giving yourself permission to enjoy where you are.
If you’re looking for a destination that combines natural beauty, spa-level relaxation, and world-class golf—all wrapped in an atmosphere that encourages you to breathe a little deeper—Black Desert Resort delivers that beautifully.
This trip reminded me that a well-chosen getaway can be both indulgent and grounding—and that’s a combination worth seeking out more often.
Until next time!
