How to Book Amangiri: A Desert Hideaway in Utah

Amangiri is one of the most photographed hotels in the world, a low, modernist resort on 900 acres of the Colorado Plateau in southern Utah, surrounded by the mesas, canyons and ridges of the American Southwest. It wraps around a sandstone butte with a pool embedded in the rock, and its sister camp, Camp Sarika, adds tented pavilions for those who want to sleep even deeper in the desert. Booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.

Amangiri sits near Canyon Point in a vast, silent desert within reach of Lake Powell, the Grand Staircase and some of the greatest landscapes in America, from the slot canyons of the region to the rim of the Grand Canyon. The architecture is designed to disappear into the rock, concrete and glass the colour of the surrounding stone.

The main resort's suites open onto the desert, several with their own private pool and sky terrace, finished in the muted palette of the landscape. Camp Sarika, a short distance away, offers tented pavilions with private plunge pools and an even greater sense of seclusion, ideal for a small group or family.

Dining draws on the flavours of the American Southwest at the Amangiri and Camp Sarika restaurants, with the desert as a backdrop. Beyond the table, the resort's via ferrata, canyon hikes, floats on Lake Powell and the acclaimed Aman Spa shape the days.

Amangiri is the American desert distilled, a modernist sanctuary wrapped around sandstone, with a pool set into the rock.
