Tucked against the majestic backdrop of Zion National Park, the Spa at Cable Mountain Lodge offers a sanctuary where luxury and nature meet. Led by Eric Jensen, Director of Spa and Wellness, the spa has become a haven for rejuvenation, combining cutting-edge therapies with the restorative energy of Zion Canyon.
“The idea was to create a space that harmonized with the natural beauty of Zion,” Eric explains. “Guests come for the adventure, but we wanted to provide a place where they could return, unwind and feel at home.”
Opened in 2018, the spa occupies what was once the Zion Canyon Theater. The building underwent a complete transformation to include luxury suites and a state-of-the-art wellness facility. Eric joined shortly after its inception and has played a pivotal role in shaping its offerings.
One standout treatment is the Vibrational Frequency Therapy, a groundbreaking experience developed in-house.
The spa also emphasizes local connection through its products. Many treatments feature Body Bliss oils, crafted from desert botanicals native to the area. This commitment to sustainability reflects the spa’s deep respect for its environment.
“Zion itself is part of the magic,” says Eric. “The high iron content in the red rocks creates a magnetic energy that draws people here. It’s grounding, both physically and emotionally.”
Eric’s vision extends beyond traditional spa treatments. With the recent addition of a yoga and sound bath studio, the spa now offers immersive wellness experiences, including guided meditation and group sound therapy sessions.
“We’re focused on the mind, body, and soul connection,” he says. “Our goal is to elevate every aspect of a guest’s well-being.”
For first-time visitors, Eric recommends the vibrational therapy or a sound bath, which require no physical contact and are accessible to all comfort levels. “It’s perfect for anyone looking for something unique yet deeply restorative,” he notes.
The spa’s ethos of care extends to its team. Eric describes a rigorous hiring process aimed at cultivating a culture of compassion and excellence. “We prioritize heart and healing. Our therapists are here because they genuinely love what they do,” he says.
Despite challenges, including opening months before the pandemic, the spa has flourished. It has become a retreat not only for tourists, but also for locals, with many returning regularly.
“We’re seeing people drive from as far as St. George just to spend a day with us,” Eric says. “It’s humbling to be a part of their wellness journey.”
Looking ahead, Eric is excited about the spa’s future. “I’ve been given the trust and freedom to plan for the next 20 years,” he says. “Our focus remains on the people we serve. This isn’t just a business—it’s a place of transformation.”
