Amangiri: The Hotel That Behaves Like Land Art

Canyon Point, Utah, United States · Opened 2009 · Aman · 34 suites · 10 Camp Sarika pavilions

By invitation. A hotel that behaves like land art. Amangiri's concrete and glass were poured to match the mesa behind them, and the result is the only resort in America where the architecture is the reason to go.

The site

Six hundred acres in Canyon Point, at the edge of the Grand Staircase-Escalante, with the resort tucked against a rock escarpment so that it is invisible until the last turn of the approach road. The central pool is built around a boulder that the architects declined to move — the defining image of the property and a fair summary of its philosophy.

The suites and Camp Sarika

Thirty-four suites, most with private courtyards, some with pools, all with the same palette of concrete, timber and desert. Camp Sarika, opened in 2020, added ten tented pavilions a mile into the property with private pools and their own kitchen — the most private accommodation Aman operates in the Americas.

What to do

Via ferrata routes up the surrounding cliffs are the signature activity and genuinely serious. Beyond that: slot canyon walks with Navajo guides, Lake Powell by boat, helicopter to Monument Valley, and a hot-air balloon at dawn. The spa's flotation pavilion is worth the appointment.

Where it falls short

The nearest airport of any size is Page, and most guests fly private or drive four hours from Las Vegas. Summer heat closes the middle of the day. And the rate has risen faster than almost any hotel in the Americas since 2019.

Best suite for privacy

A Desert Pool Suite with a private pool and a walled terrace facing open desert rather than the central pool court. For complete separation, the Camp Sarika pavilions sit a mile away with their own plunge pools, staff and dining.

Quiet luxury reading

Extreme. Grey concrete, no colour, no music, no logo, and a location where the nearest town is twenty minutes and the nearest city four hours. Guests come to be unreachable.

When to go

April to May and September to October. Summer regularly exceeds 38°C; winter is cold, clear and beautiful, with the lowest rates.

Indicative rate

from $3,500 per night

Frequently asked

Is Amangiri worth it?
For the architecture, the 600 private acres and the via ferrata, yes — nothing in the Americas is comparable. Guests who want beach, nightlife or an easy flight will not find the value.
Which suite at Amangiri is best for privacy?
A Desert Pool Suite facing open desert, or a Camp Sarika pavilion a mile from the main house with its own pool, staff and dining.
Amangiri or Camp Sarika?
Amangiri for the architecture and the main pool; Camp Sarika for privacy and desert silence. Many guests split a stay between the two.
How do you get to Amangiri?
Fly private into Page Municipal Airport twenty minutes away, or drive roughly four hours from Las Vegas. The resort arranges both, plus helicopter transfers.
