The Shenandoah Nature Resort

The Shenandoah Nature Resort is a revolutionary luxury wellness destination set within the breathtaking expanse of the Shenandoah Valley in Star Tannery, Virginia—just ninety minutes from Washington, DC. Rooted in regenerative principles and a profound respect for the land, The Shenandoah exists to provide transformational experiences that blend ancient and modern wellness wisdom, harmonize nature and nurture, and activate human and environmental connections.

Shenandoah’s brand promise is inseparable from its culture. We believe that how our leaders live, lead, and relate establishes an “energetic baseline” that shapes how guests and teammates experience the property from day one. We are building more than a resort—we are stewarding a long-term platform rooted in purpose, sustainability, and meaningful human connection.

The Shenandoah Nature Resort is currently under construction, with model retreat rooms and curated invite-only experiences launching Spring 2027, followed by full resort opening in Spring 2028.
