Amangiri Is a Modernist Oasis in the Painted Desert of Utah
A desert oasis that utilizes shadow and light with concrete geometry softened by an earthen palette and materials from the Utah landscape.
Renown for dramatic flat-topped mesas striated with oxidation, the painted desert of Utah attracts adventurers from the world over, each seeking an exemplary degree of solitude and unforgettable grandeur unique to this region of the Western United States. It is amongst these arid formations sandwiched between Arizona and Utah awaits Amangiri ? Aman Resort’s ?mountain of peace’ ? a contemporary architectural pavilion designed to blend into the landscape while also highlighting its incomparable beauty.

The most dramatic feature can be found at Amangiri’s communal pool, where an enormous rock formation intrudes onto the glassy reflective waters like a jurassic creature seeking respite from the dryness of the desert.
With only thirty-four suites strewn across Amangiri’s two wings stretched out from each side of the resort?s main pavilion, guests won’t be left wanting for privacy. Every room features its own dedicated terrace, ...
