food IS a theme park
Welcome to Universal’s new resort, Stella Nova!
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando is going through a major expansion in 2025! The brand-new theme park, Epic Universe, opens on May 22nd, 2025, and with that comes three brand-new hotels. Today, we’re checking out the first of these new spots at the Stella Nova Resort.
There’s a NEW place to stay in Orlando, and this hotel (and everything in it) is STUNNING! The brand-new Universal Stella Nova Resort is opening on January 21st, 2025, and you can find this resort right next to the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park, which opens on May 22nd, 2025.

The brand-new Stella Nova Resort opens on January 21st, 2025, and we are getting a sneak peek at this new hotel. As part of the Epic Universe expansion, this hotel is a sister hotel with Universal Terra Luna Resort which is set to open on March 25th, 2025. This resort is out of this world but what do the rooms look like? Let’s take a look inside!
Universal Orlando has an exciting year ahead! Epic Universe and the Helios Grand Hotel are opening in May, but before that, the brand-new Stella Nova and Terra Luna Resorts will be opening!
Stella Nova Resort
Stella Nova Resort will be the first of the three new hotels opening at Universal Orlando. It’s a space-themed hotel, just like its sister resort, Terra Luna. According to Universal, “It’s inspired by the infinite vastness of the unexplored universe, where galaxies spiral ever outward and unknown worlds revolve around unnamed stars.” And now we get to explore it for the first time ever days ahead of its grand opening!

We’re expecting to see very heavy crowds around the new park for quite some time after its opening due to its popularity (which could mean Disney World sees lower crowds this summer — we’ll have to wait and see!), and we’re preparing ourselves to run around the park as fast as we can to capture everything and report back to you ASAP. However, Universal just released a photo that gives us a fun insight into the new park!
