Arrival to the resort is via a winding road that descends into the valley and leads to the central Pavilion. Built around the main swimming pool, the Pavilion embraces a dramatic stone escarpment. Within the Pavilion are the Living Room, Gallery, Library, Dining Room, Private Dining Room and Cellar. Two accommodation wings lead from the Pavilion into the desert: 16 suites are located within the Desert Wing and another 18 suites together with the Aman Spa are located within the Mesa Wing. Outward views from the resort look over the untouched valley surrounded by lofty bluffs.
pavilion
At the centre of the resort is the Pavilion, with dramatic views of rock formations and the swimming pool to one side and panoramic views of the surrounding plateaus to the other. Within the Pavilion are the Living Room, Gallery, Library, Dining Room, Private Dining Room and Cellar.
living room
The Living Room is located in three spacious alcoves which enjoy sweeping views. Protected by glass walls, each alcove is divided into two cosy seating areas that focus on a wood-burning fireplace. Whilst the view during the day is larger than life, in the evening the drapes are drawn to create an intimate environment.
gallery
The Gallery showcases the region’s best art, jewellery and handicrafts including works from the Navajo community. The Gallery also offers a range of destination books, resort wear and conveniences available for purchase.
library
Situated on an elevated plinth in the centre of the Pavilion is the Library. A series of extended sofas is punctuated with ledges filled with books, magazines and board games – the ideal space for daytime relaxing or after dinner drinks. While wireless internet access is available throughout the public areas and suites, the Library also offers a laptop for guest use.
dining
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Dining Room features floor-to-ceiling glass doors which open onto the outdoor dining terrace overlooking the swimming pool. A focal point of the Dining Room is the open kitchen with its wood-fired oven imparting a unique flavour and rustic authenticity to Amangiri’s cuisine. The menu changes frequently, driven by locally-sourced seasonal produce. The Dining Room offers the ambience of a private residence with informed and attentive service.
private dining room and cellar
Located opposite the open kitchen is the Private Dining Room and the Wine Cellar. The felt-clad Private Dining Room with large wooden table and open fireplace seats up to ten people. Ideal for private gatherings, the large wooden doors can remain open so guests can experience the open kitchen or they can be closed for privacy. Next to the Private Dining Room is a walk-in Wine Cellar. The floor-to-ceiling walnut cabinets house a selection of wines, and a built-in, state-of-the-art wine dispenser offers guests the opportunity to experience unique and artisinal wines by the glass. Housed in the Cellar is a humidor for guests who enjoy a fine cigar. Featuring an elevated tasting table, the Cellar is temperature controlled to provide the ideal storage conditions for fine wines.
spa
The 2,322-square metre (25,000-square feet) Aman Spa at Amangiri is a vast complex of stone, water features and streams of light, offering a number of unique treatment venues. The Water Pavilion features a steam room, a dry sauna and a cold plunge pool and the Floatation Pavilion offers colour therapy-enhanced floatation treatments. The Spa offers single and double treatment rooms in addition to two outdoor treatment terraces with spectacular views of the mesas.
swimming pool
The swimming pool is set within a sunken courtyard framed by the Pavilion and rock escarpment. It wraps around the rock to finish with a hot tub that sits at the base of a rock wall. The lounging terrace that surrounds the pool features king-sized daybeds, some of which appear to float on the water, and pairs of sun-loungers. Adjacent to the hot tub is the Campfire Pavilion which faces inwards. Warmed by a fire during winter, it is an inviting nook for lounging and relaxing.
desert lounge
Located beyond the Pavilion, the Desert Lounge is an open-air living room featuring a series of loose furniture pieces that can be grouped together or separated for privacy. It is a special place to enjoy the beauty of the sunset and lighting levels are kept low at night to reveal the star-lit sky.
