The residential and resort community includes an open and elegant restaurant, with live-fire kitchen, indoor-outdoor dining, and a bar.

The property features approximately 12,000 square feet of function space and over two acres of outdoor venue options for events such as weddings that will be complemented by the astounding backdrop of Utah's natural beauty.

In keeping with Desert Color's emphasis on the environment, Atara will feature a full-service spa incorporating the area's scenic beauty and natural surroundings. This will be a place for guests to undergo transformative experiences. Treatment options will specifically focus on guests' well-being and comfort. The spa will be one-of-a-kind in southern Utah, with unparalleled indoor and outdoor holistic wellness and sports performance treatments. The property is ideally located in St. George, which boasts Utah's most temperate climate. There are endless opportunities for exploration nearby. There are 13 resort and championship golf courses in St. George, all of which are within 20 minutes of the property. Atara also provides easy access to five internationally famous national parks. It is only a short visit to The Grand Canyon, a 45-minute drive to Zion, and a 15-minute ride to Snow Mountain Canyon.

Atara goes above and beyond to fulfill the dreams and desires of the outdoor enthusiast. It will feature a market focused on grab-and-go supplies, a boutique outfitter, and a bicycle rental and repair shop.
