Cowboy-inspired Stays to Book this Autumn

Cowboy-inspired Stays to Book this Autumn

From dude ranches to southwestern homesteads, rodeo events to Texan trails, America is home to a vast variety of cowboy excursions. With the viral “Cowboy Core” internet trend and pop culture references such as Beyonce’s latest album, 'Cowboy Carter', there’s been no better time to say yeehaw to western adventures. And the best cowboy-cations aren’t just limited to the USA. Our editors have explored some of the best stays in the States and beyond.

Amangiri

Canyon Point, Utah, USA

While its setting is pure Wild West, there isn’t a cowboy hat in sight at the pristine Amangiri, Utah. Set amongst 600 acres of sweeping canyons and rugged terrain, the resort channels the spirit of the American West through barefoot luxury experiences and raw natural beauty. Choose from 34 exclusive suites or stay at the hotel’s satellite Camp Sarika, featuring 10 canvas pavilions. Adventure takes shape in canyon hikes, helicopter trips, stargazing explorations, and gentle swims in the pool. Here, guests can immerse themselves in the undisturbed peace that being in the middle of the desert affords.

The Ranch at Rock Creek

Montana, USA

Set in the untamed Montana wilderness, The Ranch at Rock Creek brings American ranch life to the luxury travel space. Set within a 19th-century homestead, stays here are truly led by nature. Spend your days enjoying archery, fly fishing and trail rides before retreating to your cabin or lodge for tranquil evenings surrounded by the ambient sounds of the Great Outdoors.

Enchantment Resort

Sedona, Arizona, USA

Rising from Sedona’s dramatic Boynton Canyon, Enchantment Resort feels like a modern-day hideaway of the Old West. The terracotta casitas blend seamlessly into the crimson cliffs, while inside, wooden beams, fireplaces, and Pendleton blankets add a distinctly Southwestern warmth. Guests spend their days hiking, biking, and exploring the canyon trails, or joining guided stargazing and art sessions inspired by the land. As the sun dips behind the rocks, the glow of Che Ah Chi and Tii Gavo beckons - two celebrated restaurants serving modern American fare infused with Native ingredients. It’s a place that reminds you why the desert still holds such spellbinding allure.

Awasi Atacama - Relais & Chateaux

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Of course, cowboy-cations aren’t just limited to the USA. In Chile’s Atacama Desert, Awasi Atacama – Relais & Châteaux offers guest experiences rooted in South American huaso culture. The 12-suite lodge offers private guides and adventures across the surrounding salt flats and rugged volcanic peaks, which are largely uninhabited save for local llamas. As the sun sets, curl up beside a flickering fire, take a dip in the on-site pool, or enjoy an evening stroll through the native gardens.

Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel

Tuscany, Italy

While cowboys might not roam these hills, the rustic countryside of Tuscany shares the same spirit of wide-open landscapes and timeless connection to the land. Once a 10th-century castle on an ancient Etruscan site, Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel offers a luxurious take on rural life. Rather than the fare of Spaghetti Westerns, expect warm Italian hospitality, farm-to-table dining and a picture-perfect setting, made all the better with outdoor excursions such as vineyard walks and stargazing adventures.
