Terra Luna Resort – Universal Orlando

We recently had the honor of previewing the Universal Epic Universe theme park at Universal Orlando Resort – and while we were there, we stayed at Terra Luna Resort. 

Universal Terra Luna Resort is one of three new hotels that are now open and adjacent to the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park, opening May 22, 2025. Here are all the details about our stay, but first, what is Epic Universe? 

If you missed it, you can also read about Terra Luna’s sister resort, Stella Nova Resort, here!

What is Epic Universe?

One of my most anticipated events of the year!! Universal Orlando Resort is set to unveil its highly anticipated fourth theme park, Universal Epic Universe, on May 22, 2025. This expansive park spans 750 acres and introduces guests to five NEW uniquely themed lands, each offering immersive attractions, dining, and entertainment experiences.

The Five Lands

Our Stay at Terra Luna Resort

Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled its latest accommodation, the Terra Luna Resort, which officially opened on March 25, 2025. This space-themed hotel is the mirror image of its sister hotel (with a different color scheme), Stella Nova. It is adjacent to the upcoming Universal Epic Universe theme park, set to launch on May 22, 2025. As a Prime Value hotel, Terra Luna offers guests an affordable yet immersive experience, and it is one of the sleekest and modern hotels I have ever seen!

Location and Accessibility

Terra Luna Resort has a prime location, providing guests convenient access to all Universal Orlando attractions. Unfortunately, this hotel doesn’t have a dedicated walking path that connects the hotel directly to Universal Epic Universe. That is a perk that its sister hotel, Stella Nova, has, but Terra Luna has very quick and reliable bus transportation to all of the theme parks!

Design and Theming

The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the vastness of space. The exterior is adorned with over 140,000 stainless steel tiles that exhibit a color-shifting effect, creating a dynamic visual experience as lighting conditions change throughout the day.  Inspired by the thrill of exploring the unknown, its ultra-modern and surreal design evokes visions of an entire solar system of colorful worlds, shifting and changing as they orbit their sun.

Upon entering, guests are greeted by a lobby featuring authentic NASA imagery, setting the tone for a cosmic Epic adventure. The interior color palette incorporates serene teals, calming purples, and blues, enhancing the celestial ambiance. It is so pretty and peaceful!

Amenities at Terra Luna Resort

As a Prime Value Resort at Universal Studios Orlando, The Terra Luna Resort offers a variety of amenities to enhance the guest’s resort experience:

• Pool Area: A spacious pool with ample seating, a large hot tub, a dedicated splash pad for children, and a fire pit for evening relaxation and movies by the pool.
• Fitness Center: A fully equipped gym catering to various workout routines (does have free weights).
• Arcade: An entertainment area featuring various games suitable for all ages.
• Ticket Center: Purchase Theme Park tickets right in the lobby.
• Car Rental: Avis is the main rental car company, and you can rent a car right from the lobby and pick it up on-site at the resort.
• Universal Studios Store: There is an on-site gift shop full of items from all five Epic Universe lands.
• Early Park Admission: Enjoy Early Park Admission up to one hour before the parks open (with valid theme park admission)

Accommodations

Terra Luna Resort houses 750 guest rooms, each spanning 315 square feet and equipped with two queen beds. The rooms are designed with sleek curves and space-inspired aesthetics. In-room amenities include a television, coffee maker, mini-fridge, and Wi-Fi.

We stayed in room 3043. These rooms were lovely, and I absolutely loved the theme and decor. Everything was so clean, modern, and high-tech. It really put you in the vibe for Epic Universe!

Complimentary Transportation

Complimentary shuttle services are available to transport guests to Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, Universal Epic Universe, and Universal CityWalk, typically within a fifteen-minute ride (depending on time of day).

Dining Options at Stella Nova Resort

The food was fantastic! Dining options at Stella Nova are simple but cater to different preferences and needs:

• Omega Cafe and Market: Offers quick bites and grab-and-go, including breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, featuring American classics like burgers, paninis, fried chicken and pastas..
• Luna Bar: Serves specialty crafted, space-themed cocktails and a selection of other beverages.
• Moonrise Bar and Grill: Located poolside, providing snacks and drinks in a relaxed outdoor setting.
• Coffee and Beverages: The resort has refillable mugs for soda and a coffee shop located in the lobby to make your mornings quick and easy.

With its strategic location, affordability, immersive theming, and a range of amenities, Universal’s Terra Luna Resort was an out-of-this-world experience.

I can’t wait to plan vacations to the brand-new Epic Universe at Universal Studios Orlando for myself and others, and we would definitely stay here again in the future!
