Camp Sarika at Amangiri: Desert Luxury Reimagined
The Experience
Tucked into a landscape of towering mesas, slot canyons, and iron-rich terrain, Camp Sarika embodies a “back-to-the-wild” ethos—yet with a distinctly elevated touch. Guests are invited to experience the silence of the desert without sacrificing comfort. At the heart of the camp lies a main tent, which houses a shared lounge, a restaurant, and a pool area, creating a communal hub for dining and relaxation.
Each pavilion is designed as a luxurious extension of the desert itself—simple yet sophisticated, with canvas roofs that nod to classic tented expeditions while embracing the craftsmanship of modern design. Every suite includes its own plunge pool, ensuring privacy while maintaining a strong connection to the expansive, cinematic landscape.
The Design Vision
The project is a true collaboration between leading voices in luxury design:
Client: Canyon Equity
Operator: Aman Resorts Group
Master Planner & Landscape Architect: VITA
Tented Pavilions, Architect & Interior Designer: Luxury Frontiers
Common Buildings, Architect & Interior Designer: Selldorf Group
Together, these teams balanced the elemental drama of Utah’s geography with the timeless serenity that defines Aman resorts. The result is architecture that disappears into its surroundings, offering a profound sense of stillness, balance, and retreat.
A Setting Like No Other
Camp Sarika’s placement is no accident—it lies within reach of three of America’s most treasured national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. The site is not just a place to stay but a gateway to some of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the United States.
Here, mountain, desert, and sky converge. The evenings bring star-strewn skies without interruption, while dawn paints the mesas in gradients of gold and rose. For travelers seeking both solitude and design excellence, Camp Sarika is a rare sanctuary where nature and luxury exist in perfect harmony.
