Tribute Resort and Residences
Where is Ventana Resort and Residences?
Ventana is located in Kanab, UT. Kanab is southern Utah's Gateway to the big 5 National parks and an outdoor enthusiast’s wonderland. It occupies an attractive stretch of green beneath red rock cliffs in Utah's desert southwest. Its pleasant year-round weather attracts a large number of year-round visitors including snowbirds escaping the harsh northern winters.
Downtown Kanab has a charming old western town feel with many historic buildings, boutique shopping, unique local dining options, all to experience. Kanab is also known for having over 100 western movies filmed in and around Kanab. With several of the old film sets still standing to explore. Nearby is the stunning Pink Sand Dunes (20 miles East) and Little Hollywood Museum (.5 miles north). Kanab is also the perfect base from which to visit Zion National Park (30 miles northeast). Zion National Park is one of the most visited National Parks and for good reason with it’s amazing hikes and views. Someone can easily spend a week in the park but they would miss all the other recreational options where you can feel more at one with nature and feel just how big this world is.
The list of other outdoor options is endless, but here are a few of our favorite places: Peekaboo slot canyon, Best Friend’s Animal Sanctuary, The Wave, Subway, Buck Skin Gulch, White Pocket Recreation Area, Toadstool Hoodoos, Moqui caves, Sand Caves, Belly of the Dragon Cave, and Stargazing & Stellar Vista Observatory. Did you know that Kanab Utah is one of the best places in the US to see the stars? Enjoy these amazing night skies at the resort thanks for our revolutionary design.
If you are willing to take more than an hour drive you can enjoy amazing day trips to places nearby such as Old Paria Townsite Ghost Town, Cutler Point Arch, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Horseshoe bend, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Brian Head Ski Resort, Duck Creek (perfect for snowmobiling), and and endless abundance of local hikes and trails. Kanab is a mecca for the active outdoor adventurer with unlimited side-by-side, dirt bike, mountain bike, horseback riding, rock climbing, and canyoneering; the exploration is endless.
DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Travel and Leisure magazine recently rated Kanab as best small town in America.
“The tiny town of Kanab, Utah, is perfectly perched within reach of the most iconic sites in the southwest. Three popular national parks Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon are one to two hours away by car, and Kanab acts as the gateway to The Wave, a popular red rock formation that resembles a wave in the Paria CanyonVermilion Cliffs Wilderness.”
