Amangiri suites

Amangiri is an all-suite resort, meaning every guest enjoys the spaciousness and luxury of a private sanctuary, seamlessly integrated into the dramatic Utah desert landscape. The design philosophy across all suites emphasizes clean lines, natural materials, and an unparalleled connection to the surrounding environment.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the main resort’s suite categories and their common features:

Common Features Across All Amangiri Suites:

Regardless of the specific suite type, guests can expect a consistent level of luxury and thoughtful design:

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: A hallmark of Amangiri, all suites feature a private courtyard entrance and a glass wall (often floor-to-ceiling concertina doors) that can be fully opened to blend the living space with the private outdoor terrace, bringing the desert in.
  • Minimalist Design & Natural Materials: Interiors are characterized by clean lines, a calming palette of neutral colors, and the extensive use of natural materials like white stone floors, concrete walls (mimicking the surrounding rock), natural timbers, rawhide, and blackened steel fittings. This minimalist aesthetic allows the dramatic desert views to be the focal point.
  • King-Sized Bed: All suites feature a sumptuous king-sized bed, often strategically placed to offer breathtaking views from the moment you wake up.
