If you’re like everyone here at ShermansTravel (and everyone else we know) you’re looking for ways to undo the damage of the holidays and to start the new decade off right. 

And to do this, we’re looking towards Utah.

The Red Mountain Resort and Spa in St. George, Utah to be specific. Located in the Southwest corner of the state and surrounded by Utah’s famous towering cliff and red rock landscape, St. George is known as the gateway to the beautiful Zion National Park. Now through February, book a Signature Package to help jump start your year. Priced from $189/night, the package includes daily guided morning hikes, unlimited access to the resorts fitness classes, personal discovery activities which include meditation seminars and sessions with a life coach, and an Eat Well, Feel Well cooking demonstration.

While at the resort, you’ll stay in one of 82 beautifully designed rooms or 24 private villas, with great views of the surrounding red rock and cliffs. The package also includes three gourmet, nutritious meals a day. The package rate is per person, per night, so you can customize your retreat for a quick weekend or stay for a whole week, depending on how party-hardy you got this holiday season.
