AMANGIRI Las Vegas, Nevada is just a short but spectacu- lar 4 hour drive from Amangiri located in Canyon Point, Utah. With rental cars available in abun- dance as you exit McCarran International Airport, the route passes Valley of Fire State Park, St. George city and Zion National Park all while skirt- ing the northern edge of Grand Canyon National Park. This practically shouts, “Your driving adven- ture awaits!” Arriving at Amangiri, one of two Aman resorts in the USA, you quickly realize that while it may have seemed impossible to one-up the drive in, this spectacular resort has somehow found a way to do just that. Derived from the Sanskrit language, “Aman” means peace and “giri” means mountain. It befits the resort situated in a protected valley in the heart of the Grand Circle. Rooms range in size from the 1,000 sq. ft Mesa View and Desert View suites to the palatial
Amangiri Suite at 3,457 sq. ft and 3,734 sq. ft Girijalla Suite. The larger suites feature private lap pools and all highlight exceptional views of the picturesque Utah backcountry. A natural colour palette merges with the desert landscape as white stone floors, concrete walls and natural wood set the tone. American Southwest cuisine is served in a casual open kitchen setting, or privately at Camp Sarika Restaurant. Hiking, horseback riding, early morn- ing hot air balloon rides, rock climbing and kayak- ing on Lake Powell are just some of the activities available. At the end of your day, a 25,000 sq. ft spa offers massage, scrubs, wraps and floatation therapy in tune with the healing powers of the Navajo.
