Set on 600 acres in a moonscape of a valley in southern Utah—facing Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and a short drive from Lake Powell—Amangiri is a temple of minimalism that looks like it was carved from the surrounding rock. Arranged around a dramatic pool, with Zen rooms done in the palette of the desert and a superlative spa, this is one resort that’s all about serenity.

Our Academy says:

What better way to access beauty than from a minimalist retreat worthy of the gods of nature themselves?
