Amangiri in southern Utah is the ideal destination for those looking to push the boundaries of adventure travel, luxury and relaxation, all while discovering an ancient landscape. Located along the Arizona and Utah borders, this luxury resort stages itself between the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, near Lake Powell. While not the shortest drive from Denver at nearly an 11-hour trip, this is a once-in-a-lifetime destination that will exceed all your wildest expectations.
Accommodations
Accommodations at Amangiri aren’t your typical hotel rooms or glamping tents. Spanning 600 acres into the majestic Colorado Plateau and the desert landscape, the modern suites and homes of Amangiri and the tented pavilions of Camp Sarika blend seamlessly into the untouched red-rock country.
Amanjiri features suites and homes with spacious layouts, clean lines and natural materials, all while reflecting the luminous qualities of the surrounding Utah desert. Accommodation design features include white stone floors, concrete walls, natural timbers and fittings in blackened steel. Each suite has an outdoor lounge and fireplace with expansive desert views. Some even feature a private pool or roof terrace.
For the ultimate in privacy and luxury, stay in the four-bedroom Mesa Home. Just minutes from the resort, the home is surrounded by 600 acres of undeveloped land and is designed to complement the rugged beauty of the Grand Circle Region. Enjoy exceptional amenities like the private 50-foot infinity pool, a stone terrace with sun loungers, desert views and elegant, muted surroundings that blend in with the landscape.
Visit Camp Sarika, a five-minute drive from Amanjiri, for a stay in one of their tented pavilions. Upgrading the concept of indoor-outdoor living, these accommodations provide exceptional comfort, privacy and amenities including terraces with fire pits and a plunge pool. Choose from one and two-bedroom villas.
Outdoor Adventures
New this summer, the resort is introducing the Cave Peak Stairway; a unique, one-of-a-kind installation raising some 400 feet above the ground, offering mesmerizing views of the 600-acre property and beyond.
The Cave Peak Stairway has 120 steps and is accessible from the resort’s existing Cave Peak Via Ferrata Trail. Guests will now be invited to take to the stairs after completing the Via Ferrata. The Cave Peak Via Ferrata offers an unmatched vertical route of ascent, a spectacular position and a summit visible from the resort. Now with the addition of the stairway, it is destined to be an iconic and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
