Amangiri
Embedded in the Colorado Plateau, Amangiri is a modern desert icon where monumental architecture, extreme privacy and the surrounding mesas become inseparable from the stay.
Amangiri occupies 900 acres of the Colorado Plateau near the Utah-Arizona border, surrounded by mesas, canyons and open desert on a scale that makes the resort feel almost hidden in plain sight.
Its low-slung architecture uses concrete, stone and sharp geometric lines to mirror the surrounding landscape. The famous pool wraps around a natural rock escarpment, turning geology into the centerpiece of the design.
Suites are deliberately quiet and expansive, opening toward desert terraces and uninterrupted horizons. Nearby Camp Sarika adds tented pavilions for travelers who want an even more secluded interpretation of the setting.
The resort’s spa, guided hikes, via ferrata routes and excursions across the plateau make the landscape active rather than merely scenic. Full-board inclusions also encourage guests to settle in rather than treat the hotel as a short stop.
Amangiri is one of the rare luxury resorts where architecture and geography carry equal weight, making it especially compelling for design-minded travelers and those seeking genuine isolation.
