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.

the spectacular backdrop of the
Teton Range.
After brunch, stroll through the
