Camp Sarika at Amangiri
Canyon Point, Utah
Vibe
Ten low-slung canvas pavilions sit secluded in the Utah desert beneath Stud Horse Mesa, framed by vast red-rock escarpments.
“Tented mesa enclave”
Recycled-canvas pavilions designed by Luxury Frontiers feature bespoke walnut joinery, leather detailing, and expansive desert-facing terraces.
Personalized desert itineraries, attentive golf-cart transfers, and nightly turndown gifts alongside private heated plunge pools.
Guided via ferrata routes, slot canyon exploration, desert horseback rides, and stargazing across private canyon territory.
In Canyon Point's desert expanse beneath Stud Horse Mesa, surrounded by towering red rock formations.
“A collection of private, spacious pavilions in a secluded canyon that’s equal parts rugged and luxe.”
Rooms
Enclosed pavilions feature deep soaking tubs and timber decks outfitted with personal plunge pools, fire pits, and stargazing telescopes.
“Each one- or two-bedroom dwelling (1,882 and 2,825-square-feet, respectively) is fully enclosed and features a spacious lounge, bar, and dining area.”
Wellness
A heated communal pool hugs the mesa rock face, complemented by outdoor yoga amphitheaters and two private spa suites.
Backstory
Named after the Sanskrit word for open sky, the retreat was engineered with recycled canvas to withstand extreme desert winds.
Eat & drink
The intimate restaurant serves open-flame Southwestern fare by a central hearth, opening onto a terrace with mesa views.
The neighborhood
Private via ferrata climbing routes scale the adjacent sandstone cliffs, with desert slot canyons and Lake Powell nearby.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
