Your Go-To Travel Blog

Utah is an awe-inspiring state that offers a plethora of must-visit destinations, allowing you to indulge in the beauty of nature while experiencing the best of both worlds: luxurious accommodations and more modest yet charming options. In this blog, we will showcase two remarkable places I have personally stayed at and that you can stay at during your own Utah adventure. Join me as we delve into the mesmerizing landscapes and unforgettable experiences that these destinations have to offer.

Amangiri – A Desert Oasis of Luxury

Starting off strong, Amangiri is a world-renowned luxury resort nestled in the heart of Utah’s captivating landscapes. Set amidst stunning desert scenery, this exclusive retreat promises an extraordinary experience. My stay here was nothing short of incredible and lived up to the hype set by the various celebrity visitors the resort has had.

Accommodations:

Amangiri offers a few exceptional options for your stay, but I stayed in the Mesa Suite Two-Bedroom Pavilion. This Suite provided us with a lavish escape and features exquisite amenities and breathtaking views.

Activities:

To truly immerse yourself in the wonders of Amangiri, embark on the exhilarating Via Ferrata adventure as we did on our own trip. Scale the rugged cliffs with the aid of iron rungs, ropes, and a professional guide, allowing you to conquer new heights and witness unparalleled vistas. Alternatively, the Sunset Trail offers a serene trek, taking you through the mesmerizing landscape as the sun paints the desert sky with vibrant hues.

Unwind at the Pool:

No visit to Amangiri is complete without a dip in their awe-inspiring pool. In fact, this is one of my personal favorite aspects of the resort. Surrounded by striking rock formations, this oasis offers a sanctuary of relaxation. Bask in the serenity, savor a refreshing beverage, and allow the beauty of the surroundings to transport you to a state of pure bliss.

The Serene Escape of Cave Lakes Canyon 

If you’re seeking a more modest yet charming retreat, Cave Lakes Canyon provides a delightful alternative. My time here was pure bliss and I can’t wait to head back in the future. Here, you can immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance and embrace the natural wonders that abound in this picturesque setting.

Accommodations:

I highly recommend you opt for a waterfront cabin rental in Cave Lakes Canyon to experience the true essence of the area. Nestled by the glistening lakes, these cabins offer cozy comfort and scenic views, providing an idyllic getaway.

Exploring the Grand Staircase Escalante and Zion:

During our time here, we chose to embark on their thrilling ATV tour through the mesmerizing landscapes of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. You too can traverse rugged terrains, witness breathtaking vistas, and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the area. Additionally, take advantage of Cave Lakes Canyon’s proximity to Zion National Park, just 5 miles away, and embark on a memorable hiking adventure amid towering cliffs, narrow canyons, and lush greenery.

Utah offers a remarkable blend of luxury and natural beauty, and your journey through Amangiri and Cave Lakes Canyon beautifully exemplifies this. Whether you choose to indulge in the opulence of Amangiri or revel in the simplicity of Cave Lakes Canyon, both options provide unforgettable experiences in Utah’s stunning landscapes.
