Ranch & Adventure

Get a taste of the American Wild West with a stay on a luxury ranch, experiencing the life of a cowboy or cowgirl as you saddle up under ‘Big Sky Country’.

This is the ultimate ‘away from it all’ holiday that takes you back to a simpler era, when wranglers spent the day herding cattle across wide open plains and told stories around open campfires at nightfall. Feel the rush of adrenalin as you try your hand at rodeo, or hone your skills with a lasso. Do all of this under the endless sky of cowboy country among scented pine forests, snowy mountains and boundless desert. Your inner child will relish the chance to indulge in a little fantasy, and once you’re there, you may well fall for the lifestyle.

A cattle ranch or country retreat

Crossing plains, traversing rivers and side-stepping jaw-dropping canyons are just some of the experiences you can expect from these luxury ranch holidays. Take to the saddle every day and improve your riding skills, or learn new ones on organised cattle-drives. With a wilderness calling out for exploration, you will be confronted by some awe-inspiring scenery, lending a new respect for days gone by when travel was dependent on four legs and life was simpler.

After a hard day in the saddle, indulge yourself with a relaxing spa treatment, sampling Navajo healing techniques to restore tired muscles and soothe the senses. Then, unwind under the stars next to a roaring campfire as you enjoy some traditional cowboy fare. Succulent prime Angus steaks, buttery corn and baked potatoes, washed down with a chilled glass of beer or wine will more than satisfy your stomach after a long day of activities.

As the day winds down, retreat to a sumptuous rustic cabin or stay under canvas in a stylish glamping tent.

The great outdoors

The vast American frontier offers some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. With fast-flowing rivers perfect for whitewater rafting, rugged mountains itching to be climbed and deep forest terrain to trek through, the adventure can continue outside of the ranch.

Highlights include Zion, Utah’s first national park. Its defining feature, the Zion Canyon, averages an impressive 2,000 feet in depth and its floor is the perfect place to stretch your legs with a hike. You can also take a dip to cool off in the Virgin River. The Glacier National Park in Montana, complete with its rushing rivers and fields of wildflowers, is another must-see.

You can also make your way to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park to marvel at the majestic red rocks, grand buttes and mesas that tower above.
