Amangiri (“The peaceful mountain”) is a spa in Canyon Desert, Utah in the Navajo of the American Southwest. The design of the resort was carefully considered to blend into its surrounding by use of its large concrete blocks which change color as much as the surrounding dramatic landscapes as it responds to the ever-changing sun and moon light. According to Yatzer: “The main swimming pool carved around yet another rock, is attached to the Pavilion, and leading from it are two separate wings housing the suites: the Desert Wing to the East houses 16 suites reached via an external walled lane, complete with sound (natural running water) and verdant moss. To the South, the Mesa wing houses 18 suites along undulating rock formations, and the Aman Spa, an architectural marvel in its own right: water is predominant throughout, while small shafts allow wind and light to flow in mysteriously, creating spaces ideal for relaxation and reflection (the sauna gives you the best sauna views you have ever seen in your life!). Treatments are created to reflect the traditional Navajo healing traditions, and offer a totally holistic approach to rejuvenation.” To book your own stay you can visit their website at Amangiri.
