Renowned for redefining desert sanctuaries, Amangiri announces the debut of its first Six-Bedroom Villa, now open for bookings. Set within nine acres of pristine wilderness and with its own spa, gym and 36-metre pool, the villa is the first of an exclusive collection of 12 private residences to open within the untouched beauty of North America’s Canyon County. The Aman-branded residences mark a new chapter for the iconic resort as it continues to evolve and elevate the guest experience, introducing one of the most exceptional and refined private residence offerings in the region.
Embraced by the vast expanse of Southern Utah’s pristine desert landscape, Amangiri’s Six-Bedroom Villa has unobstructed views of the wind-carved ochre cliff faces of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, allowing for a deep connection with the ancient environment to take root. Unfolding over 1,115 square metres, the villa is designed by Marwan Al-Sayed of MASASTUDIO, one of the original architects of Amangiri, embodying the resort’s celebrated desert modernism.
Designed for real living, the villa’s layout encourages daily routines and shared rituals, evoking the feeling of a private desert home. Expansive living and dining areas, shaped for intimate groups, families and entertaining, open onto loggia pavilions that flow effortlessly into multiple outdoor spaces. A dining court, covered lounge and 36-metre swimming pool integrate seamlessly with the topography. The primary bedroom enjoys its own private courtyard and heated pool, while a dedicated spa with steam room, sauna and private fitness studio overlooks the dramatic sandstone cliffs. Inspired by Utah’s slot canyons, oculus skylights feature throughout the home, bringing the desert sky inside.
A uniquely private sanctuary from which to explore Amangiri, and its surrounding natural landscapes, guests will benefit from access to private experiences within the villa, including the services of a personal chef, movement practices, spa treatments, and a villa host on hand to tend to every need. Just moments away, the resort’s 2,300-square-metre Aman Spa, curated desert adventures and dining venues are all within effortless reach by the villa’s dedicated electric golf buggy.
Low-lying forms rise imperceptibly from the land, blending organically with its surrounds. Through an architectural expression shaped by the desert itself, the villa fosters a rare sense of belonging and understanding of its environment, allowing those who experience the villa to feel deeply anchored in place. Sheltered terraces and walled gardens anchor the architecture in a timeless, tranquil sense of place, while vast planes of glass frame sweeping views of the ever-present rock formations and draw the ever-shifting desert light into the villa. Harmonious design with nature is achieved around every corner, with swathes of blonde walnut, stained cypress and sand-toned concrete define the minimal interiors, where generous open-plan volumes reflect the vastness of the landscapes outside. This carefully conceived material palette of wood, stone and concrete mirrors that of the surrounding resort, encapsulating Amangiri’ s delicate balance between built and natural environments.
