Amangiri - The United States, Utah

Discover this “peaceful mountain” in the American southwest! Amangiri derives from the Sanskrit words for "peace", "aman", and "mountain", "giri".

Amangiri opened in October 2009 and is located on a 243-hectare (600-acre) expanse of wilderness in Canyon Point, Southern Utah, neighbours the largest Native American reservation in the US, close to the border with Arizona. Amangiri is tucked into a protected valley with sweeping views over colorful, stratified rock towards the Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument. There are some of North America’s most breathtaking scenery nearby. Architecturally, Amangiri has been designed to blend into the landscape with natural hues, materials and textures a feature of the design. The structures are commanding and in proportion with the scale of the natural surroundings, yet provide an intimate setting from which to view and appreciate the landscape.

The central Pavilion, built around a dramatic swimming pool, houses the Living Room, Gallery, Library and Dining Room/Cellar. Amangiri’s 34 suites, entered via a private courtyard, offer private plunge pools and rooftop terraces, as well as modern, airy living, dining and sleeping areas with white-stone floors that echo the area’s natural stone. Be sure to experience the Aman Spa, with its water pavilion, Pilates Studio, candlelit rooms and outdoor treatment terraces.
