Pulling into WorldMark’s property in Moab, Utah, I wondered how they could create a brand-new “adventure club” out of an existing, familiar vacation resort. By checkout, I got it. This isn’t a rebrand with a new logo slapped on the door. It’s a genuine rethink of what a room in red-rock country should feel like for someone who came to hike, raft, bike and stargaze — not just sightsee from the hotel pool.

Thoughtful Layouts for Every Traveler: Which suite setup best fits your trip, whether you’re traveling solo, escaping as a couple or bringing the whole family.

The Eddie Bauer Adventure Club (EBAC) Moab is the outdoor brand’s first hotel, born from a partnership between Authentic Brands Group and Travel + Leisure Co. It occupies a dedicated wing inside the existing WorldMark Moab resort, reimagined suite-by-suite for active travelers.

Who Should Stay Here

Families: Multi-bedroom suites with full kitchens and in-unit laundry solve two major headaches when traveling with kids.
Solo Travelers: A 24-hour front desk, shared group excursions and central pool areas make it easy to meet adventure buddies safely.
Couples: Studios and one-bedroom suites offer a cozy retreat between private stargazing or river rafting excursions.
Groups of Friends: Sprawl out in two- or three-bedroom setups that feel like a private basecamp house rather than cramped hotel rooms.

SheBuysTravel Tip: You do not need to be a vacation club member to stay here. Anyone can book a stay directly online.

Suites range from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom layouts. Earthy tones and natural textures replace generic resort décor, creating a comfortable, calm atmosphere after a long day under the desert sun.

Core Suite Features

Spacious Layouts: Dedicated space to store backpacks, boots and gear without tripping over your luggage.
In-Unit Laundry: Full-sized washer and dryer keep trail clothes fresh every single day.

SheBuysTravel Tip: Book a suite with a full kitchen if traveling with kids. Moab restaurants are popular, and after a 10-mile hike, waiting an hour for a table is the last thing anyone wants to do.

Hotel Amenities: Unwinding after the Trail

Eddie Bauer Adventure Club Moab isn’t trying to be a luxury resort with an outdoorsy paint job. It’s a genuinely thoughtful basecamp with gear-friendly suites, curated excursions that take the guesswork out of Moab’s best adventures and a community of guests who would rather talk about their morning hike than their mimosa. If red rocks, river rafting and dark skies are on your itinerary, this is a top-tier choice for your Moab stay.
