Wanderlust of the Week: The Amangiri Luxury Resort in Utah
Angel Elliott
For all of The Amangiri Resort's grandiose beauty, it sits unassumingly nestled in the 600 acre desert landscape of Canyon Point, Utah, as if it grew out of the sand and lofty bluffs itself. It's modern luxurious design was built in the earth tones of it's surrounding, making the hotel all the more bucolic.
The resort is a 25-minute drive from Page, Arizona, the town that houses the amazing Antelope Canyon, and a 15-minute drive to the shores of Lake Powell. With an almost magnanimous stone escarpment in the middle of a sizable pool, a cellar, spa and library, this hotel has all the comforts of home, plus some sapiosexual additions.
Sixteen suites are located within the Desert Wing and another 18 suites together with the Aman Spa are located within the Mesa Wing. Every suite features unspoiled views of the valley.
Ready to tear yourself away from the property? Launch a helicopter, hot air balloon, or fixed-wing flight directly from Amangiri. The hotel also offers Lake Powell boat tours, yoga and pilates, or take guided hiking trails through the caves and up vistas.
Glorious.
