Utah- 5* Amangiri Resort

An exclusive luxury escape in Utah's magical desert landscape close to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.

Description

Set within a spellbinding desert landscape of canyons, mesas, ridges and gorges, Amangiri is an exclusive retreat offering unrivalled luxury close to the wilderness of Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.

The resort’s spacious suites frame breathtaking views of the surrounding terrain, their modern design defined by sleek stone, clean lines and expanses of glass. Nearby, Camp Sarika by Amangiri – accessible via a scenic hike or a short five-minute drive – features ten deluxe, canvas-topped pavilions, each with a private plunge pool.

Two restaurants serve exceptional cuisine inspired by Native American traditions, while the expansive spa offers holistic treatments drawing on the natural elements of earth, wind, fire and water. Guests can explore the desert through tailored itineraries, discovering its wonders on foot, by bike, on horseback or by boat, with the option to see the vast landscape from the air by private plane, helicopter or hot-air balloon.

Accommodation

Seamlessly blending into its surroundings, Amangiri’s suites are crafted from stone and concrete, with furnishings of natural wood and blackened steel creating an earthy yet contemporary aesthetic.

Outdoor lounges and fireplaces provide inviting spots to admire the desert views and the star-filled night sky, while some suites include a private pool or rooftop terrace for moments of quiet reflection. The elegant pavilions at Camp Sarika combine luxury and seclusion, with indoor and outdoor living spaces that open directly onto the desert, where private plunge pools offer complete tranquillity.

Dining

Amangiri’s main restaurant presents sustainable, seasonal menus influenced by Native American cuisine and Utah’s culinary heritage, complemented by international flair. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in a contemporary dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, or outside on the pool terrace with uninterrupted desert views. The four-course Spirit of the Journey tasting menu, paired with fine wines, is a highlight for food enthusiasts.

At Camp Sarika, the open-kitchen restaurant offers a daily changing menu of wilderness-inspired dishes, featuring rotisserie and fire-pit cooking, local meats, Utah-sourced produce and a range of vegetarian and vegan options. Private dining experiences can also be arranged, either within the resort or at scenic desert locations.

Activities

Exploring the surrounding desert is an unforgettable experience, with hiking trails suitable for all abilities, each well marked and maintained. Guests can join the complimentary guided ‘taster’ hike or venture out independently using the provided maps. Horseback riding offers another way to discover the landscape, while scenic boat trips and air tours reveal its grandeur from new perspectives.

Day excursions to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon showcase the region’s most iconic sights. After a day of adventure, guests can return to the serenity of the resort to unwind by the striking pool built around a natural rock formation or relax on their private deck in perfect seclusion.

Spa

At 25,000 square feet, the Aman Spa is a sanctuary of calm overlooking Canyon Country, offering an extensive menu of treatments inspired by the four elements. The spa’s design mirrors the surrounding canyons, creating a peaceful environment that encourages balance and renewal.

Guests can join sunrise yoga sessions led by the resort’s expert instructor atop a nearby rock formation, or take part in private and group classes in the yoga and Pilates studio. The spa’s water pavilion features a steam room, sauna, plunge pool and heated step pool, while the Flotation Room – combining colour therapy with sensory immersion – provides a truly distinctive wellness experience.
