AMANGIRI, AMANGIRI SUITE UTAH, USA If there’s ever a luxury hotel on Mars, let’s hope it looks like Amangiri. This stunning Canyon Point, Utah property sits on over 900 acres of the Colorado Plateau, where Amangiri and its sister property Camp Sarika sit in absolute privacy. With only 34 suites, this sanctuary of a hotel has been custom-built for those looking to tune out the outside world and enjoy blissful solitude. The decor is modern to the max; suites are lined with stone and other natural materials. It’s a minimalist aesthetic that allows the immaculate landscape to do all the talking. As a suite-only property, every room is special but it’s the Amangiri Suite that really captures this hotel’s majesty. Guests enjoy over 3,400 sq ft of space, which includes a spacious sundeck, private lap pool and fi repit for stargazing once the sun sets. Best for Romance From $6,800 per night.
