For those who believe the best memories are made under a wide-open sky, Backland Luxury Nature Resort has a couple of enticing reasons to sneak in one last getaway before the season winds down.
Located 20 minutes outside Williams, known as the gateway to the Grand Canyon, Backland offers a decidedly glamorous take on the great outdoors. The intimate resort features 10 luxury glamping tents, where guests can fall asleep beneath 16-foot skylights and wake up to unobstructed panoramic views.
Days can be spent exploring the surrounding natural wonders, lounging around or enjoying the luxury of doing absolutely nothing. Guests can also settle in for chef-crafted meals inside the resort’s glass-walled restaurant, where the scenery is very much part of the experience. For couples and families hoping to make the most of the final weeks of summer, the property is offering two special promotions.
Backland’s “Summer Lovin’” promotion pairs a little Ralph Lauren-inspired Western style with the romance of the wilderness. New for 2026, couples can book the Nature Suite with Skylight + Hot Tub, designed for an intimate escape surrounded by quiet. The suite features a 16-foot Starview Skylight, private outdoor hot tub, panoramic views and refined interiors.
The experience is especially appealing once the sun goes down. Couples can stroll the property hand-in-hand, watch the sunset, stargaze beneath the dark sky and cozy up by the fire before turning in for the night beneath the stars.
When booking two or more nights with the “SummerLove” code, couples receive a Romance Package featuring a bottle of champagne, electric candles, an essential oil diffuser, conversation cards and snacks. Guests can also choose between a $100 resort credit or $100 off the Stay and Dine rate. The offer requires a two-night minimum.
Backland is also giving families a reason to extend summer with its “Family Summer Cool Down” promotion. The Nature Suite with Skylight + Bunk special offers a king bed, queen sofa bed and a bunk-bed fort with sliding walls that can close off the space, creating a cozy hideaway for kids.
There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the property. Kids can play volleyball, kayak on the pond or build sandcastles on the beach, while parents can take a stroll along the trails and enjoy the scenery. When evening arrives, families can gather around the bonfire for complimentary s’mores and use the complimentary telescopes to take in the night sky.
And for families who want to venture farther afield, Backland puts a long list of Northern Arizona adventures within reach. Grand Canyon Railway, Sycamore Falls, Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano and Walnut Canyon National Monuments are among the nearby attractions, along with guided tours, 4×4 excursions, air tours, adventure courses, alpine coasters, shopping and dining.
Families booking two or more nights with the “FAMILYCOOL” code can receive a $200 resort credit or $200 off the Stay and Dine rate. The offer requires a two-night minimum, is subject to availability and cannot be combined with other offers. Learn more at travelbackland.com.
