From its futuristic aesthetic to its convenient perks, this new resort is ready to redefine what it means to vacation at Universal Orlando Resort.

With 750 guest rooms available, the Terra Luna Resort offers accommodations that blend modern design with Universal’s signature brand of fun. Standard rooms sleep up to four guests, making it a solid choice for families and groups looking for affordability without sacrificing style.
Of course, a Universal hotel stay comes with more than just a place to rest your head. Guests can enjoy exclusive theme park benefits, including early park admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Universal Volcano Bay. Complimentary shuttles provide seamless transportation to all of Universal Orlando’s theme parks and CityWalk, ensuring guests can maximize their time in the parks without the hassle of parking or long commutes.
A Resort That Goes Beyond the Basics
Terra Luna Resort isn’t just about convenience—it’s also a destination for fun and relaxation in its own right. The resort boasts a sprawling, resort-style pool perfect for cooling off after a long day at the parks, as well as a firepit and game room for nighttime entertainment. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the complimentary fitness center, while foodies can explore a variety of dining options, including a poolside bar and grill, pizza delivery, and a casual dining space.
For those attending conferences or events, the resort’s prime location—just two miles from the Orange County Convention Center and 14 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO)—makes it an appealing choice for business travelers looking to blend work with play.
