Amangiri
Arizona
OVERVIEW
Ensconced in the middle of America’s red rock country, Amangiri is an oasis of a hotel. Dripping in luxuries, with stellar service and a clever design to boot, it doesn’t get much more exclusive than this sumptuous resort emerging from the wild west.
Amangiri is poised amid moonlike landscapes in Canyon Point, on Utah’s side of the border with Arizona. Within reach is a host of national parks, Lake Powell and the jaw-dropping Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, all bestowing endless distraction for keen adventurers and photographers alike. What’s more, Amangiri finds itself within Navajo country, so the chance to learn more about Native American culture and history provides another string to the hotel’s bow.
Guests can take advantage of complimentary hiking tours through these great southwestern landscapes, as well as yoga by moonlight – a must for wellness seekers. There’s also a huge spa (25,000sqft, to be exact), a warren of candlelit pathways and lounges, scenic treatment rooms and even an al fresco plunge pool. That’s before even mentioning the expansive freeform swimming pool at Amangiri, which spills beautifully alongside natural rock formations; some protruding into the water itself to make you feel even more at one with this extraordinary backdrop.
What’s more, with Amangiri’s desirable mix of fine gourmet offerings, enticing fire-lit terraces, chic indoor lounges and immaculate suites, this remote desert resort makes for a heavenly hideaway in the middle of the wilderness.
