OutpostX

An ‘ancient future’ eco-retreat

Reminiscent of a surreal movie backdrop but sturdy enough to withstand the test of time, Outpost X is the brainchild of Travis Chambers—a pioneer who combines sci-fi with ancient times and modern luxury.

A 240-acre property with ten units made up of immersive Cave Villas, Sky Lodges with King Size hanging beds, transparent Zen Domes for night-time stargazing and fantasy villas, OutpostX merges a movie set with a luxe hotel to create a truly sustainable lodging experience.

Surrounded by the region’s natural beauty and boasting seven national parks nearby, the complex sits on a seasonally dry 100-acre a lakebed that creates an otherworldly sight similar to a sci-fi desert planet in the summer. In the winter, the lake bed freezes over which creates what’s been described as “a mesmerizing geometric marble pattern.”
