Aman Villas
Schedule precious time together this year in the comfort and privacy of Aman’s villas.
Thousands of square miles of untouched scenery surround Amangiri, which lies at the gateway to major national parks in the Colorado Plateau like Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. From canyoneering and cultural insights to excursions by air, bike, boat or on horseback, guests are encouraged to discover the region their way. Long-standing relationships with local experts allow Amangiri to arrange tailor-made itineraries for every guest – a bespoke approach that guarantees a creative, adventurous and fulfilling experience.
Amangiri encompasses 900 acres on the Colorado Plateau and features more than 12 miles of designated trails. Trails are waymarked by signs, posts and rock cairns. They vary in length and difficulty and offer beautiful views of the property as well as the opportunity to uncover archaeological and natural wonders.
Invented centuries ago in the Italian Alps, a Via Ferrata (‘iron road’) is a series of cables and ladder rungs, fixed to the rock face to enable the ascent of steep mountain routes. Amangiri offers a number of challenging Via Ferrata routes, led by expert guides on the property’s sandstone mesas.
Led by a Navajo guide, this 1.8-mile (2.9-kilometer) easy walk visits three distinct canyons of the southwest: Upper Antelope Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Owl Canyon. Discover the geological wonders of the smooth, swirling canyon walls while gaining insight into the rich heritage of the Navajo Nation.
With the highest concentration of national parks in America, the Colorado Plateau offers endless opportunities to explore the likes of Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park by air, by car and on foot. Amangiri’s in-house and local guides can develop custom itineraries of any length to suit guest’s interests and preferred form of transport.
Flying over this incredible landscape – by plane, helicopter, or on a sunrise balloon trip – is an inspiring way to discover the breadth of the backcountry. Working closely with the area’s best pilots, Amangiri enables guests to experience the awe-inspiring scale of Canyon Country from on high.
The Colorado Plateau offers immersive encounters beyond the purely physical. Held throughout the year, Amangiri’s ever-expanding collection of cultural experiences offers guests the unique opportunity to learn more about the ecology, geology and human history of the area as well as the rich traditions of neighbouring Native American tribes. Discover the art and learned skillset of Native America with the dazzling charm and energy of traditional hoop dance, dreamcatcher making and storytelling.
