Amangiri
Canyon Point, Utah, United States · Aman · Apex Luxury
Opened in October 2009 on 600 acres assembled via a Bureau of Land Management land swap approved by Congress, Amangiri was designed by Marwan Al-Sayed, Rick Joy, and Wendell Burnette so a sandstone escarpment becomes the fourth wall of the main pool. Just 34 suites sit in southern Utah canyon country beside Grand Staircase-Escalante, with Camp Sarika's ten tented pavilions added in 2020. Three MICHELIN Keys and an AAA Five Diamond make it the most decorated desert resort in North America.

History
Nestled in southern Utah's dramatic canyon country, Amangiri opened in October 2009 as a visionary collaboration between architects Marwan Al-Sayed, Rick Joy, and Wendell Burnette, who crafted a modernist masterpiece that seamlessly blends with the surrounding sandstone formations through rammed concrete and native materials. This architectural triumph, envisioned under I-10 Studio, set a new standard for luxury desert retreats within the Aman portfolio, emphasizing raw elemental beauty and spiritual serenity amid the vast wilderness. Over the years, it has captivated billionaires and celebrities seeking ultimate privacy, with its 34 suites and Camp Sarika expansion enhancing its allure as a flagship of discreet opulence, while renovations have sustained its pristine integration with the shifting desert light.
