But it’s not just the rooms that make this resort a must-visit—its amenities elevate the experience to another level. Guests will find:
- A resort-style pool, perfect for cooling off after a long day in the parks
- A firepit and game room, offering entertainment for all ages
- Multiple dining options, including a pool bar and grill, pizza delivery, and grab-and-go meals
- Complimentary fitness center access for those looking to stay active during their stay
With complimentary shuttle transportation to UOR’s existing theme parks and exclusive early park access to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Universal Volcano Bay, guests at Terra Luna Resort will enjoy prime benefits that make their stay even more magical.
The Deeper Impact: What This Means for Universal Orlando
The opening of Terra Luna Resort marks another milestone in UOR’s ambitious plans to expand its Orlando footprint. With Universal Epic Universe on the horizon, UOR is making strategic moves to accommodate the surge of visitors expected when the new park debuts in 2025.
By launching Terra Luna ahead of Epic Universe, UOR is not only testing the waters for its new resort lineup but also setting the stage for a fully integrated guest experience once the new park officially opens. Its sister hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, is set to follow in its footsteps, creating a duo of space-themed accommodations designed to transport guests beyond the ordinary.
