Universal Stella Nova Resort, which we are exploring on this page, will open first on January 21st, 2025. (Terra Luna Resort, Stella Nova’s sister property, is set to open two months later on March 25th, 2025.) The hotels will “place guests in the center of marvelous galaxies and diverse planetary elements for an experience unlike anywhere else in the universe – complete with tranquil sleeping accommodations, entertaining amenities for the whole family to enjoy, various cosmic-inspired dining options and so much more.”
Specifically, Stella Nova is cosmic in theme, “inspired by the infinite vastness of the unexplored universe, where galaxies spiral ever outward and unknown worlds revolve around unnamed stars.”
