Amangiri opened in 2009 with 34 suites and no houses. Seventeen years on, the first one is finished, and it sits on nine acres of its own.
The Six-Bedroom Ridge Villa is the first private residence built inside Amangiri's 900 acres at Canyon Point, in the far south of Utah. Marwan Al-Sayed drew it, the same architect who, with Wendell Burnette and Rick Joy, drew the resort itself. It runs to 1,115 square metres, a little over 12,000 square feet, and Aman calls it the first of twelve homes planned across the property. Each of the others gets its own plot. None will repeat the plan.
The house is low and long, the way Amangiri is. Concrete mixed with local sand, natural stone, blonde walnut and stained cypress. The entry is kept dark on purpose, with a metallic-leaf ceiling that shifts as the day does, and the corridors are lined in wood before they open again to the view. The view is the Grand Staircase-Escalante, its cliff faces to the north, and nothing stands in front of them.

The pool
The main pool is 36 metres long, 117 feet, set into the rock with a covered lounge at one end and a dining court beside it. Mies Anderson of MASASTUDIO has described the water in the house as a reference to what happens here after rain, when pools collect in the hollows of the entrada sandstone and turn green for a day. Loggia pavilions link the rooms. An oculus sits over the main living and dining space and does most of the lighting until dusk.
Six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The primary suite has a terrace and a courtyard with a heated pool of its own. A spa with steam room and sauna, and a fitness room, sit inside the house rather than up at the resort. There is a chef's kitchen with a second catering kitchen behind it, and staff quarters, so the house can run with people in it and no one in sight.
Amangiri spent seventeen years as a hotel with no neighbours. Now it is selling the neighbourhood.
The Splendid EditRented, then sold
The villa went on the market in March at $33 million, the first privately owned home ever offered inside the resort's boundary. Until a buyer appeared it could be rented, at a reported $45,000 a night. Forbes reported in August that it sold in May to a private buyer for an undisclosed sum, and that the remaining eleven lots, between five and nineteen acres each, are priced from $5 million to $12.5 million, to be built within Al-Sayed's design parameters.
Aman's own site still lists the villa among Amangiri's accommodation, on a page updated in August. A stay there includes full board at the resort and Camp Sarika restaurants, transfers from Page Municipal Airport 25 minutes away, a villa host, packing and unpacking, and an electric golf cart for the 800-metre run to the spa. The new owner and Aman will settle between them how long it stays in the rental pool. For now the enquiry form is live.

The resort
Amangiri itself is 34 suites around a pool that wraps a sandstone mesa, and Camp Sarika, ten tented pavilions with plunge pools a short drive across the property. The Aman Spa here is close to 25,000 square feet. Guests hike slot canyons, climb via ferrata routes bolted into the rock, ride out on horseback, and fly over Lake Powell in a private aircraft. Novak Djokovic lends his name to a three-day detoxification programme run through the spa.
Al-Sayed has described the resort as the trunk of a tree and the houses as its branches. The first branch is out. Eleven plots wait behind it, and none of them will get the same house twice.
