Canyon Point, Utah
Four-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Amangiri is a minimalist architectural triumph designed for high-net-worth escapists and design purists who prioritize absolute silence and a "monastic" connection to nature. While the property offers a level of seclusion and curated service that is nearly unmatched in North America, travelers who are sensitive to aggressive pricing on "extras" like wine and off-site excursions may feel the captive-audience atmosphere is a bit much. The one signature experience worth the journey is the Cave Peak Via Ferrata, which offers a pulse-pounding perspective of the prehistoric landscape that no other resort can replicate.
