Amangiri

Hidden in the middle of North America's most dramatic canyon landscape is a desert paradise that is already unique for its spectacular location: Amangiri, which means "peaceful mountain," sits on 600 acres of protected land in the heart of Utah's Navajo country and harmoniously blends with the hues of the massive rock formations. The visual centrepiece is the elegant pool, which is connected to the prairie landscape by a massive red mountain spur. This magical blend of modern architecture, nature and wellness also creates an unforgettable atmosphere in the 2,300-square-foot Aman Spa. As the soothing scent of sage floats through the air, guests can unwind with Navajo-inspired treatments or soak in the water pavilion. Breathtaking luxury is topped off with a touch of adventure to match the scenery: activities such as horseback riding, rock climbing, hot air balloon rides and helicopter rides provide views of Utah's vastness. Yet it's the quiet desert moments that are most deeply moving - like the spectacular starry skies best enjoyed in front of your own outdoor fireplace. Nature is and remains the ultimate protagonist here.
