Amangiri

An Aman resort of 34 suites at Canyon Point, in southern Utah, with a camp of 10 tented pavilions, Camp Sarika, a villa of 6 bedrooms and a house of 4 on the same estate, according to the official site. The estate covers 900 acres on some official pages and 920 on others; Google’s listing says 600.

It opened in 2009, according to Forbes and its developer, Canyon Equity; the official pages we read give no opening year. The MICHELIN Guide awards it 3 Keys and counts 45 rooms, one more than the suites and pavilions together.

7 suite types at the resort, on the official suites page: the Desert, Mesa and Orchard Suites at 93 m², the Mesa Pool Suite at 146 m² and the Desert Pool Suite at 150 m², each with a private pool of 5 by 4 metres, the Girijaala Suite at 347 m² and the Amangiri Suite at 348 m², with lap pools of 14 and 18 metres. All have a king-size bed, a soaking tub, twin rain showers and underfloor heating.

Camp Sarika has 4 one-bedroom pavilions and 1 in a canyon of its own, at 175 m², and 4 two-bedroom pavilions and 1 Grand View, at 262 m², by the count in its events brochure. The Six-Bedroom Ridge Villa measures 1,115 m²; the Four-Bedroom Mesa Home has no published size. Sister pages also name a One-Bedroom Mesa Pavilion, whose own address now leads back to the home page.

At 1 Kayenta Road, Canyon Point, Utah 84741, close to the Arizona border, according to the official page. Tripadvisor files it under Big Water, the nearest town, 12 km away, and the MICHELIN Guide under Lake Powell.

By road, calculated on OpenStreetMap on 8 October 2026: Wahweap Marina on Lake Powell 16 km, Horseshoe Bend 28 km, the town of Page 22 km, Zion 170 km, Bryce Canyon 227 km and the Grand Canyon’s North Rim 218 km. Around it there is only desert: guests eat at the hotel.

Most guests fly to Page, Arizona (PGA), and take the hotel’s car, which is included in the rate: a 25-minute drive, says the «Getting here» page; the home page says 20, and OpenStreetMap measures 24 km. The airport lists daily flights to Phoenix with Contour Airlines.

The closest international airports are Las Vegas and Phoenix, each about 4.5 hours away by road in the hotel’s reckoning, 438 and 474 km on OpenStreetMap; St George and Flagstaff are about 2.5 hours away. Private aircraft land at Page, and the hotel can arrange a helicopter from the larger airports.

Yes, and it is valet only, according to the hotel’s accessibility page. Google and Tripadvisor list the parking as free; no official page we read prints a charge. Google also lists electric-car charging.

Drivers leave US Highway 89 at an unmarked turning and stop at a gate that asks for a reservation number, as a guest described in September 2023. Pavilion and villa guests get an electric golf cart for the estate.

The sea is a long way off: Amangiri is in the high desert. The water nearby is Lake Powell, in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Lone Rock Beach, a primitive public beach with an entrance fee, is 9 km from the resort by road, and Wahweap Marina 16 km.

The hotel runs its own boats on the lake, a 28-foot and a 37-foot Axopar, from Wahweap Marina, according to its experience guide; these outings are charged, or chosen as one of the 2 activities of the Desert Adventure offer. The resort has no beach of its own.

The main pool is outdoors, in the middle of the resort, built round a sandstone outcrop: the official site calls it mesa-embracing and gives no measurements. The accessibility page notes a ramp to the pool terrace and a pool lift; Google’s listing adds a hot tub, which the spa menu places in the spa’s Water Pavilion.

Beyond it: a second pool at Camp Sarika, a heated pool at each of the 10 pavilions, private pools of 5 by 4 metres at the Mesa Pool and Desert Pool Suites, lap pools of 14 and 18 metres at the Girijaala and Amangiri Suites, 15 metres at the Mesa Home and 36 at the Ridge Villa.

Guests say the main pool is heated: one in December 2022 writes of «the heated pool» after a day’s hiking, another in July 2022 of a perfect temperature, both on Google. The official pages we read give neither a temperature nor opening hours for it.

What the site does state: the pavilions’ private pools are heated, the spa’s step pool is heated, and the flotation pool is heated salt water, according to the pavilions page and the wellness page.

In 2 restaurants, both for resident guests only, according to the dining page. The resort’s restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner indoors or on the pool terrace, from an open kitchen with a wood-fired oven; its 4-course Spirit of the Journey menu pays tribute to the region’s tribes. Camp Sarika Restaurant changes its menu daily, with rotisserie and fire-pit dishes, snacks and afternoon tea.

The site prints no opening hours. A guest in July 2026 found the kitchen and room service closed at 10pm; another, in September 2025, was told resort guests need a reservation for the camp’s restaurant. Extras on the menus carry 18% service and 8.35% tax: 30 grams of Ossetra caviar is priced at $230 on the dinner menu.

Every stay, in a suite, a pavilion or the villa, includes breakfast, lunch and dinner for 2 guests per room, soft drinks and refreshments in the room, a scheduled group wellness class and guided group hikes each day, the self-guided trails, itinerary planning and the return transfer from Page airport, according to the accommodation page.

Alcohol is charged separately, with taxes and 18% service, as the festive programme states. Spa treatments, private guides and excursions off the estate are extra, and the offers’ terms mention a charge for a third person. One travel site describes the rates as room only: the official pages say full board.

It covers 25,000 square feet, 2,322 m², according to the wellness page: 5 treatment rooms, one of them double, 2 outdoor treatment terraces, a Pilates and yoga studio, a gym, a finishing salon, and a Water Pavilion with sauna, steam room, cold plunge and heated step pool.

The flotation pavilion holds a heated saltwater pool for floating alone with music and light, the spa menu explains. The spa and gym are in the resort’s Mesa Wing; the facilities are shared by men and women and call for a swimsuit.

The list of what every stay includes names a daily group wellness class; the pavilions page adds full access to the resort’s facilities, the spa among them, and the camp’s adventure itineraries spell out use of the gym and the Water Pavilion. No page we read prints a fee for the pools, sauna or steam room; treatments and private sessions are charged.

No official page offers a day pass, and the dining page says the restaurants are open to guests only. In practice non-residents do not get in: 2 travellers say so, in August 2022 and June 2025. The minimum age for the facilities and for treatments is 18.

The spa opens daily from 9am to 9pm, with the last treatment at 8pm, and the fitness centre is open 24 hours, according to the spa menu. It recommends booking ahead and arriving 15 minutes early to use the Water Pavilion, and asks for 12 hours’ notice to cancel without charge.

A guest in June 2022 advises reserving treatments well before arrival: the hotel writes to guests months ahead, and the slots fill.

The menu opens with Aman’s 3 signature paths, Grounding, Purifying and Nourishing: a massage or a facial of 60 or 90 minutes, a body polish and wrap of 90, or all 3 in a journey of 180. Amangiri’s own treatments include the Utah Salt & Clay wrap, 75 minutes, cranial sacral therapy in a warm salt pool, 75 minutes, and Aqua Shiatsu, 60.

The menu prints durations and no prices, and says all prices are subject to local taxes and an 18% service charge. Yoga on the Rocks, 120 minutes, climbs to a mesa top; Tower Butte Yoga adds a helicopter flight to a butte 1,000 feet, about 300 metres, above Lake Powell.

Yes: the family page suggests the Two-Bedroom Tented Pavilions and the Four-Bedroom Mesa Home for families, and the restaurant has a children’s menu. A blog that calls the resort adults-only is mistaken.

Age limits apply to activities: 10 for the via ferrata routes and 6 for the Canyon Crossing course, 10 for the Antelope Canyon kayak tour, 12 for jet skis, according to the experience guide; the spa is for adults. Google and Tripadvisor list babysitting. The MICHELIN Guide says rooms cannot take cots or extra beds, while the pavilions’ pages promise additional beds as needed.

Beyond the rooms: the main pool, the spa and gym, a living room and a library, the Desert Lounge and Fireside Pavilion for private dinners, more than 12 miles (19 km) of marked trails, via ferrata routes and a helipad, according to the experiences page and the air tours page. Suites have Wi-Fi.

Dogs: Google marks pets as allowed, and guests in November 2025 and July 2026 stayed with theirs, given dog beds by the hotel. The official pages we read mention only service animals, on the accessibility page, and print no pet fee. No dress code is published either.

6 on the offers page read on 8 October 2026. Advance Reservation gives its own nightly rate to bookings made more than 21 days ahead, prepaid and non-refundable, until 20 March 2027. 3 need a 3-night stay booked 30 days ahead, until 31 December 2027: Desert Adventure, with 2 activities per suite, Amangiri Romance, with massages, a sunset outing and a private dinner, and Wellness Escape, with 3 treatments a person.

Extend Your Stay gives a fourth night free in Camp Sarika’s pavilions until 23 December 2027, with blackout dates; Journey Across the Americas, a route through Aman’s hotels in the Americas, ends on 31 October 2026. Several ask for a 50% deposit. The camp also sells 3 itineraries of 3, 4 and 5 nights.

Yes. A buyout of the resort hosts up to 110 guests and Camp Sarika up to 30, according to the celebrations page; vows can be said on top of a mesa, with a helicopter down to the party. The resort’s dining room seats 76 for a private dinner, the Fireside Pavilion takes 40, and the Chinle Site, out in the canyons, 35 seated.

The only price published is for the camp: its events brochure estimates $450,000 for 30 guests taking all 10 pavilions for 3 nights, with full board, transfers, one spa treatment and one activity each, and private dinners; 3 nights is the minimum. The Raven’s Nest seats 20 for dinner or holds 30 for a standing reception, according to the official events page, read on 15 October 2026; the events brochure still online dates from 2024.

Yes. The 2026 festive programme sets out 31 December 2026: a Champagne tasting with caviar at the resort restaurant from 4.30pm to 6pm, the New Year’s Eve dinner at both restaurants from 6pm with live music, then s’mores at the Desert Lounge from 9pm, a Champagne toast and fireworks at 10pm.

On 1 January 2027 a brunch runs from 11am to 3pm. The programme prints no menu prices and says alcoholic drinks are charged separately; on the official calendar the night of 31 December for 2 was priced at $5,490, taxes included.

No. No official page mentions golf, although Google and Tripadvisor list it among the amenities. What the hotel sells outdoors is hiking, via ferrata, horse riding, boats on Lake Powell, slot canyons, hot-air balloon and helicopter flights, according to the experience guide.

The official site calls Camp Sarika a year-round camp and announces no closure. On the official booking calendar, read on 8 October 2026, every night from 9 January to 1 February 2027 was without a rate, and Google Hotels showed none from 9 to 31 January either; the nights before and after were on sale.

The calendars give no reason. In the same reading 16, 17 and 23 October 2026 had no rate either. Seasons matter here: the hotel’s experience guide goes to the Grand Canyon’s North Rim in summer, when it is open, and its parks page recommends Bryce Canyon as a respite from the high-season heat.

On Aman’s own booking calendar, read on 8 October 2026, a night for 2 with full board, all taxes and fees included, cost $5,590 on 18 October 2026, $4,118 on 18 November, $6,176 on 26 November, Thanksgiving, $4,012 on 3 December, $5,279 on 24 December, $5,490 on 31 December and $4,012 on 7 January 2027.

Google Hotels, read the same day, shows those nights before tax: $4,950, $3,646, $5,470, $3,553, $4,675 and $3,553, with no price for New Year’s Eve. The cheapest nights on the official calendar, at $4,012, fall in early December and early January; the dearest, $10,496, on 12 and 21 October. Neither calendar names the suite; on Google’s card for 9 October the lowest offer was the Desert Suite.

Google’s 539 ratings average 4.5/5, 84% of them 5 stars; Tripadvisor’s 788 average 4.5/5, second of 3 hotels in Big Water, with location and rooms at 4.8, service at 4.5 and value at 3.9; Trip.com shows 4.6/5 from 49, according to Google Hotels. All were read on 8 October 2026.

Guests praise the setting, the pool, the architecture and staff who remember names and orders. The rate does not include alcohol, treatments or excursions, and 4 reviews between October 2024 and March 2026 describe long waits at table and by the pool.

It depends where the price is read. Aman’s booking calendar states that its rates «include all applicable taxes and fees». Google Hotels shows less: for 9 October 2026 its calendar gave $5,445, while the official link on the same card carried a total of $6,148.50, $1,198.50 of it marked as tax, and Aman’s calendar $6,149.

On 75 of the 78 nights read in both, the official figure was 12.9% above Google’s. The offers’ terms say the nightly rate is subject to taxes and service charge, without percentages. In the restaurants extras carry 18% service and 8.35% tax, and at the spa 18% service plus local taxes, according to the menus.

Camp Sarika is part of Amangiri, on the same estate, a short walk or a 5-minute drive from the main building: 10 tented pavilions with canvas roofs, heating and air conditioning, and the camp’s own restaurant, lounge and pool. It has no website of its own: its pages sit under Amangiri’s on aman.com.

Camp guests may use everything at the resort, the Aman Spa included, and resort guests may eat at the camp, with a reservation. The room is what differs: concrete and stone at the resort, from 93 m², or a tent of 175 or 262 m² with its own pool at the camp, which the site recommends to families and groups.
