On a February afternoon in the desert in the south of Utah, I am in a tent watching a leather backgammon board. The tent is the correct term, but it feels somehow, well, incorrect: there are hardwood floors covered with a beige tied carpet. Just beyond is a swimming pool that advances in the rugged landscape. The white cushion chairs are sitting at the water’s edge. And at the corner of me? A bathroom with an outdoor shower, an interior shower, a double sink, toilets and a bath that overlooks a formation of red red land. It turns out that everything is technically in a canvas structure.
But that’s what we expect from Amangiri, a five -star seaside resort in Canyon Point, Utah. The property is undoubtedly the jewel of the crown of the Luxury group of the Aman portfolio – currently, it is the most expensive hotel per night in the country. (Sometimes he is overwhelmed by his sister property The Aman New York.) Hailey and Justin Bieber are repeated guests, as are the Kardashians, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. TIESTO DJ I loved it so much that he got married there. And these are only the people we know publicly – each year, dozens of rich notables remain discreetly and do not share what they have done. In fact, Aman’s clientele is so devoted that they won a nickname: “Aman Junkie”. (When I stayed, a visitor wore a t-shirt labeled as such, he said that he had received after visiting his eighth property.)
