Amangiri

Amangiri Review

One of just two U.S. properties operated by the famously luxurious Aman resort company, this ultraplush 34-suite compound lies just a few miles north of Lake Powell on a 600-acre plot of rugged high desert, soaring red-rock cliffs, and jagged mesas. Each of the artfully designed units has an extensive private terrace and outdoor fireplace; top units have private pools. High-ceilinged rooms with stone floors, concrete walls, and timber and steel finishes adjoin massive bathrooms, each with a deep sunken tub and tall window that's perfect for stargazing. The eager-to-help staff can tailor guided day hikes or private dinners on your private terrace, and a dramatically situated spa offers treatments in both indoor and outdoor areas. Guests dine on first-rate Mediterranean and American cuisine in a softly lighted dining room, warmed by a crackling fireplace—the clientele is mostly hotel guests, but the public is welcome by reservation. During the winter months, the resort frequently offers packages that include meals and spa treatments.
