Amangiri: A retreat for the soul in the heart of the Utah desert

In the heart of the unspoilt and sublime nature of Southern Utah, Amangiri is the epitome of serenity and revitalisation, commanding a unique view of the Colorado Plateau.

This refuge aims to be a bastion of tranquillity, ideal for those thirsting for peace and revitalisation. Celebrating its 15th anniversary, Aman Spa at Amangiri has emerged as a destination in its own right, especially with the launch of novel, holistic and integrative wellness programmes that celebrate the essential elements – Terra, Aero, Ignis and Aqua.

Wellness in the impressive nature

Amangiri blends effortlessly with its natural backdrop and serves up extraordinary experiences that utilise the power of nature. “Yoga on the Rocks” amalgamates Terra and Aero into one immortal moment, which includes a petite ascension to the top of a rock formation, there to celebrate a customised yoga practice under the guidance of Connie Beingessner, a virtuoso in fitness and yoga. The panoramic view of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument unfolds an imposing scenery and cultivates a deepened synthesis of respiration and equilibrium.

The combination of fire and water in the thermal therapy sessions promises a powerful experience of relaxation and mental clarity. Harmoniously integrated into the desert scenery, Amangiri offers experiences in saunas, steam baths and cold water pools that help to revitalise the body and soothe the mind.

The element of water also plays a key role in Ai Chi practice, which uses the teachings of Tai Chi and Qi Gong to harmonise energy flows and awaken a deep sense of relaxation. Aqua Shiatsu, exclusively available at Camp Sarika and the Amangiri suites, utilises the healing power of water for a deep massage experience.

Sensual well-being

Amangiri invites its guests to enjoy the tranquillity and vastness of the desert landscape. The new mindfulness walks and ASMR wellness sessions appeal to all the senses and offer deep relaxation and a long-lasting feeling of calm. The Dark Exposure sessions promote balance through a form of sensory deprivation that supports self-connection and mind acceptance.

In-Pavilion Wellness at Camp Sarika

For those looking for an even more exclusive experience, Camp Sarika offers new wellness journeys within the privacy of each tented pavilion. From the Open Sky Sound Journey to the Mindfulness Path Journey and the Oasis Wellness Journey, each of these experiences is designed to enhance wellbeing and foster a deep connection to nature.

Desert wellness

The Desert Wellness Refuge in Amangiri or Camp Sarika offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy a tailor-made, triadic holiday. This arrangement allows participants to cultivate their somatic and mental agility through a fusion of physical exercises and contemplative sessions, alongside personalised cures.

Amangiri not only represents a haven of luxury and tranquillity, but also embodies an intense connection with nature and the inner self. It is a place of regeneration for body, mind and soul, embedded in one of the most impressive natural sceneries our planet has to offer.
