"Amangiri is one of Kourtney's favorite places and they just announced its reopening, so she knew she wanted to go," the insider explained. "She took a quick 3-day trip with the kids. They flew in on a private jet and had a customized weekend of activities set up for them."

Along with the outdoor activities Kourtney shared on the 'Gram, like their horseback riding, the source said the family also enjoyed "boating, hiking and lounging by the pool."

"It was very relaxing and such a nice change of scenery to get out of town and be out in the desert," the source added. "There was nobody around and they felt like they had it all to themselves."

According to a separate source, Scott Disick joined the reality TV personality and their kids to celebrate his birthday a little early.

"Scott went with Kourtney and the kids to Amangiri to celebrate his birthday and enjoy the holiday weekend," the second source shared. "He is doing a lot better and is focused on healing. He's talked with a few therapists who are helping him talk through his struggles and navigate his next moves."

"Scott has been very willing and open to get help and wants to continue treatment. Kourtney knows how to handle Scott and he is always in a better headspace when he gets to spend time with his kids," the insider continued. "She has really been there for him since his rehab exit, and has had a lot of sympathy towards him."

The source noted that the Poosh founder wants to see Scott get "healthy" because it's "best for their family and makes the dynamic much easier."

"Scott is doing so much better since last month when he was feeling down. It truly takes him to hit rock bottom for him to get help and get his life back on track," the source went on.
