Amangiri - Fine Hotels & Resorts - American Express
American Express - January 02, 2019
Dramatic desert architecture.
At the edge of a desert valley, Amangiri is surrounded by the beautiful mesas and mountains of southern Utah. Constructed on 600 acres in the Grand Circle, the resort is part of the largest concentration of national parks in the United States.
INSIDER TIP
Visit with the artist-in-residence, who captures the desert surroundings from August to October, and watch as she works with rock, sand, wind, and rain to create her abstract masterpieces in the Utah desert.
Where You’re Staying
The resort offers spacious suites with clean lines, white stone floors, and concrete walls. Every suite comes with its own outdoor lounge and fireplace, and offers views of the surrounding desert. Select suites offer underfloor heating, private sky terraces, and courtyards.
Where to Dine
The resort restaurant serves American Southwest–inspired cuisine made primarily with locally sourced ingredients.
Where to Relax
The main heated pool curves around a rock escarpment and guests can cool off in the cold plunge pool. Practice yoga atop an Entrada Sandstone formation under a full moon. At the Aman Spa, all treatments begin with smudging, a Native American ritual to clear negative energy.
Worth Experiencing
Rock climb safe, fixed routes for unique perspectives of the valley. Horseback trails allow exploration of the Utah desert. Take off on a dawn hot-air balloon flight for views of Lake Powell, the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and more.
