Mesa to MountainsAmangiri – Amangani

Straddling the magnificent Rocky Mountains, the western states of Utah and Wyoming offer some of the most

diverse and spectacular scenery in the USA, as well as two extraordinary Aman escapes. Surrounded by breathtaking

wilderness, Amangiri and Amangani are unique sanctuaries perfectly placed between the iconic natural marvels of

the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, each complementing a strikingly different setting.

In the starkly beautiful desert landscapes of Utah’s Canyon Country, Amangiri provides unparalleled access to Bryce

and Zion National Parks and serene Lake Powell, while the forested mountains, snow-capped peaks and wildlife

reserves of the Grand Tetons, Snake River Valley and legendary Jackson Hole constitute Amangani’s verdant

playground in Wyoming.

Introduction

Amangiri

Set on 600 acres in a protected valley, Amangiri (peaceful mountain) claims sweeping views over stratified rock and

towering mesas towards Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Built around a central swimming pool with

elegant dining areas, indoor and outdoor lounges and just 34 spacious suites, the resort reflects the raw beauty of its

setting with pared back serenity. Amangiri’s extensive Aman Spa features hydrotherapy and floatation pavilions, a Watsu

pool, finishing salon, yoga studio and gym.

Serving as a springboard for exploration of the area, home for centuries to the native Navajo, Amangiri offers private

hiking trails, canyoneering, Via Ferrata routes, boating, hot air ballooning, horseback riding and many other adventure

activities. Fireside storytelling and stargazing in the evenings enable a deeper immersion in Native American culture,

while expert archaeologists and palaeontologists share more about the region’s history.

ArrivalWelcome to Amangiri

Just 25 minutes by car from the

airport in the nearest town of Page,

Amangiri is nonetheless a world

apart – its total seclusion creating

an irresistible sense of timeless

suspension from day to day life.

After arriving in the early afternoon,

explore the property with your

personal Aman guide who will

reveal the most photogenic spots in

which to capture the interplay of

light and shadow in this dramatic

landscape.

As dusk falls, enjoy a drink and

canapes in the Desert Lounge while

watching a performance of the

Native American Hoop Dance,

representing the sacred circle of life

and harmony between man and

nature. Then dine beneath the stars

on Amangiri’s exceptional seasonal

cuisine.

Choose to drive through the

stunning high-desert landscape of

the Navajo Nation to the North Rim

(2.5 hours each way) or fly via

helicopter or fixed wing aircraft to

the South Rim, then enjoy a private

tour with a highly knowledgeable

Grand Canyon Association Field

Institute guide.

With two billion years of history

laid bare in its striking erosional

forms and layer of geologic colour,

the Grand Canyon is today’s

destination. Amangiri’s proximity to

the less frequented but higher

North Rim, only accessible at this

time of year, offers lots of flexibility

in viewing this awe-inspiring

wonder of the world.

Day 2Discover two billions years of history

Wake before dawn and board a

private helicopter for an ethereal

ride to the top of Tower Butte,

rising 1,000 feet into the sky. As

golden light seeps across this

primeval landscape, move as your

personal yoga instructor advises

in a series of sun salutations that

give new meaning to each asana.

Afterwards, fly back to Amangiri

for breakfast.

Spend the morning exploring the

red-hued, wind- and water-hewn

undulations of Upper Antelope

Slot Canyon, then board a

powerboat and set off across the

still waters of Lake Powell for a

picnic lunch and an afternoon of

paddle-boarding, swimming and

admiring nature’s handiwork from

the water.

Day 3A Butte, a Canyon and a Lake

While the air option has the

advantage of speed, allowing ample

time for exploring the resort and

lofty East Gross Ventre Butte on

arrival, the road trip allows for a

real sense of arrival after taking in

the meadows of Utah, glimpses of

the state’s wild horses, the Rockies’

splendid passes and famous towns.

Aman can provide a picnic lunch

and advice on routes and places to

stop along the way.

Day 4 Amangiri to Amangani After breakfast at Amangiri, board a

private RYL Jets aircraft for the 90-

minute flight to Jackson Hole, or set

off on a 10-hour self-drive road-trip of

a lifetime that will take you 430 miles

over the Rockies to Amangani.

Affording magnificent views of the Grand Tetons and Snake River Valley, Amangani (peaceful home) is perched

on the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte adjacent to the ski mecca of Jackson Hole. Evoking the atmosphere of the

West’s pioneering days with its redwood panelling and blazing log fires, Amangani is nonetheless an all-season

resort: In spring, summer and fall the surrounding wilderness areas of Grand Teton and Yellowstone beckon, with

wildlife viewing, hiking, mountain biking, hot air ballooning and fly-fishing all popular attractions.

Teton Range.
