Amangiri sits on 600 acres of sculpted canyon landscape at Canyon Point, on the Utah–Arizona border near Lake Powell, one of the most remote and visually striking locations of any hotel in the United States. The resort opened in 2009 under the Aman Resorts brand and was designed by architects Marwan Al-Sayed, Wendell Burnette, and Rick Joy to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding sandstone mesas — the main pavilion literally wraps around a natural rock formation that rises through the building's interior. The aesthetic is austere minimalism: concrete, glass, and local stone in a palette drawn entirely from the desert.
Accommodations begin at the suite level, with 34 suites ranging from approximately 1,900 to 4,000 square feet. Each suite features a private pool or plunge pool, floor-to-ceiling windows framing mesa and canyon views, a fireplace, and a soaking tub positioned to face the landscape. The Mesa Suite and Forbidden Canyon Suite occupy the most dramatic perches on the property. The central pool — a shallow infinity-edged design set among boulders — is widely considered one of the most photographed hotel pools in the world.
The camp's singular restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine with Navajo-influenced ingredients and sweeping sunset views. The spa, built into the canyon rock, offers a flotation pool, steam caves, and treatments inspired by indigenous healing traditions. Adventure programming is Amangiri's other major draw: helicopter flights over Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon, ATV explorations of Coyote Gulch, guided slot-canyon hikes through Antelope Canyon, and sunrise yoga sessions on the canyon rim. Page, Arizona, is approximately 15 minutes away; the nearest commercial airports are in Page (small aircraft) or Las Vegas (roughly 3.5 hours) and Salt Lake City (roughly 4 hours).

Tips for visiting
- Book at least six months in advance — the resort has only 34 suites and demand far exceeds supply year-round.
- Sunrise and sunset are the most visually spectacular times on the canyon; request an east-facing suite for morning light.
- The Antelope Canyon guided excursion must be booked through the resort's concierge and sells out well in advance.
- Late spring (April–May) and early autumn (September–October) offer the most comfortable desert temperatures.
- Summers can exceed 105°F (40°C); mid-day activities are best avoided — pool time and spa sessions are ideal then.
- The nearest fuel station is in Page, AZ — if arriving by car, fill up before the final approach to the resort.
Accessibility
Amangiri's desert terrain presents natural accessibility challenges, including uneven rock surfaces on outdoor paths. The main pavilion and pool area are accessible on level ground, and the resort staff will work with guests with mobility requirements to identify suitable routes and accommodations. Guests should contact the resort directly prior to arrival to discuss specific needs.
