The corporate retreat does not have to be centred around the ’resort’. The Ellidore way would be to plan an epic road trip, offering a fresh way to connect with new destinations and each other. Utah, with its bucket-list landscapes of red rock canyons, national parks, and wide-open roads, is the perfect destination. From scenic drives to unforgettable outdoor adventures, the journey itself becomes part of the retreat.
‍

Our suggested 5-day retreat, supported by super cars, classic cars or off-roaders.

‍

DAY ONE

‍Drive: approx. 1 hour driving
Guests arrive into Cortez, with a short transfer/drive to Dunton. Here, guests will be briefed on the upcoming week’s activities over dinner, as well as meeting the Singer executive team. The base for the night will be Dunton Hot Springs, set amongst spectacular scenic offering of the Colorado River.

‍

DAY TWO

Drive: approx. 3 hours
Following breakfast, guests will begin their drive to Gooseneck State Park, enjoying dramatic desert landscape vistas such as the towering rock pinnacles known as the Needles, the remote canyons of the Maze and the Native American rock paintings in Horseshoe Canyon. The fleet will gather at a spot in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Gooseneck State Park for lunch.

Following lunch, guests will continue their drive onto Monument Valley and onwards to the fleet’s private camp for the night. The legendary history of the terrain will be brought to life by a Navajo Code speaker, who will explore the history behind WWII code talkers as well as a
recount of his time as President of the Navajo Nation.

‍

DAY THREE

Drive: approx. 3 hours
The fleet will depart Monument Valley on a two-hour route to Lake Powell. From here, guests will board EC-130 helicopters for an aerial tour of Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam and Horseshoe Bend, before landing on Tower Butte for a once-in-a-lifetime lunch experience. The 360-degree panoramic view available atop this landform is absolutely breath-taking. Following lunch, guests will fly to the marina to board open-bow speed boats, which will charge across Lake Powell, through varying slot canyons, before making it to camp in the early afternoon. Here, a refreshing supper will be served.

‍

DAY FOUR
‍

Building on the high-octane of the previous day, guests awake to a jet ski fleet outside their camp, prompting a lake-bound journey to Lone Rock Beach. Staged to depart as guests finish breakfast, the group will ride around the lake with time to explore canyons, as well as see dinosaur tracks and caves. Additional driving routes via Kanab can be inputted here, if requested.

Once landing on Lone Rock Beach they will be met by private transfers to the next two night’s accommodation, Amangiri. Designed in balance with the harmonious living of the Navajo people within this epic region, Amangiri is surrounded by thousands of square miles of untouched
scenery. This seemingly unlimited shoreline allows for boundless exploration and relaxation. Dinner will be a relaxed affair, as a group or as couples/guest groups.

‍

DAY FIVE

‍Drive: approx. 4 hours
For the final day, guests will be offered a change in vehicle. After breakfast a day of UTV touring will ensue, touring Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. There is a portfolio of routes showcasing incredible sights, rising in some areas to 6,500 feet above sea level. The off-roading encompasses slick rock and sand pits.

As an additional bolt-on drive, we would suggest Amangiri to Lees Ferry and then group through towards the North Rim, a worthwhile trip for those who enjoy the road less travelled. The North Rim, or ‘other side’ of the Grand Canyon is visited by only 10% of all Grand Canyon visitors. The route would loop round back to Amangiri. Finally, to draw the week to an incredible close, guests will be invited to a more formal farewell dinner at Amangiri.

‍

DAY SIX
‍

All guests depart for Las Vegas or closer regional airports for flights home.
