An otherworldly desert retreat, Amangiri (peaceful mountain) is situated on 600 pristine acres in Canyon Point, Southern Utah with sweeping views towards Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Located in the centre of the Grand Circle, the all-season resort, its landmark Aman Spa and its secluded satellite camp known as Camp Sarika by Amangiri are surrounded by such iconic attractions as the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Bryce and Zion National Parks. It is also a short drive from the shores of Lake Powell. The region has been home for centuries to the native Navajo tribe and presents the raw landscape for which the American Southwest is famed.

Tucked into a protected valley, the resort’s Central Pavilion is approached via a winding road through starkly beautiful desert scenery. Built around the main swimming pool, which embraces a dramatic stone escarpment, the Central Pavilion houses a living room, library and gallery, as well as an elegant restaurant.

Known as the Dining Room, the restaurant features floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to an outdoor dining terrace overlooking the pool. The focal point is the open kitchen with its wood-fired oven imparting a unique flavour and rustic authenticity to Amangiri's cuisine. An intimate private dining room and wine cellar are located opposite the open kitchen.

Set apart from Amangiri’s Central Pavilion, the Desert Lounge serves as an open-air relaxation area for sunsets and stargazing, while the 2,322-square-metre Aman Spa features hydrotherapy and floatation pavilions, a watsu pool, finishing salon, yoga studio, gym and tranquil indoor and outdoor treatment suites.

Two accommodation wings lead from the Central Pavilion into the desert. All 34 Suites provide spacious terraces with breathtaking desert or mesa views, and a number have private swimming pools and roof terraces. Air-conditioned in summer, they are heated in the cooler months.

Adding ten luxurious one- and two-bedroom Tented Pavilions to Amangiri’s accommodation offering, Camp Sarika by Amangiri lies a five-minute drive or a picturesque 30-minute hike from the Central Pavilion. Continuing the clean lines and natural aesthetic of the resort, the camp’s canvas-topped Tented Pavilions each have spacious sleeping and living areas, expansive terraces with fire pits, and heated plunge pools.

A self-contained retreat, the camp has a Selldorf Architects-designed common area with a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, two tranquil spa suites, a lounge and a restaurant.

Open throughout the day, the camp’s restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating with breathtaking views. Paying homage to its wilderness setting, the open kitchen features a rotisserie grill with dishes served on cedar and slate carving boards. Resort guests can enjoy dinner at Camp Sarika by Amangiri with prior booking, while camp guests have full access to the resort’s extensive facilities.

Serving as a springboard for exploration of the area, Amangiri offers private hiking trails, morning and afternoon Wellness experiences indoors and out, canyoneering, Via Ferrata routes, hot air ballooning, horseback riding, water adventures on Lake Powell and many other activities. Fireside storytelling and star gazing in the evenings enable a deeper immersion in Native American culture, and guests can also learn more about the region’s history from expert archaeologists and palaeontologists.
