New Luxury on Land in Utah of all places !!!

For some reason when I think of going to Luxury Resorts my mind doesn't immediatly go to Utah.  Maybe for skiing, yes,  but desert I think more Palm Springs, Scottsdale, etc.  But here is a place we might want to take a venture to if you are West Coast and looking for something close and different.

Amanresorts Unveils Plans for Luxury Villas in Utah's Canyon Country

 

It's not oceanfront; it's not ski-in-ski-out; neither is it St. Moritz, Turks & Caicos, Bali or the plains of the Serengeti. It's deep in the heart of America's wonderland.

This is Canyon Country - more specifically this is Amangiri, Amanresort's latest jewel. Developed by the Canyon Equity Group of Larkspur, CA, Amangiri which opened in the fall of 2009 has created an unprecedented buzz in the marketplace with virtually every major media outlet racing to the destination and writing about it.

Tucked into the red canyons with spiraling rock formations, Amangiri is located a stone's throw from Lake Powell and is surrounded by some of the world's greatest natural wonders and national monuments: The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase Escalante, Zion National Park and the mighty Colorado River, to name a few. Overnight, Amangiri transformed this 600-acre high-desert oasis into a world-class destination which has rapidly become an uber-luxury "Mecca" for the highly discriminating vacationer.

Adjacent to the 34-room resort, 28 spectacular villas will be developed, the first 17 of which are just being released for pre-sale to the public. One "show villa" is under construction scheduled for completion in early 2011. Designed by famed New York-based German architect, Annabelle Selldorf, the look and feel of these Aman Villas will be similar to the resort and will blend seamlessly into the surrounding canyon topography. The base villa will be approximately 7,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor space and will have four spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The villa buyers will then have the option of individualizing the spaces while maintaining the integrity of the Aman design template. All the villa owners and their guests will be entitled to all the amenities and facilities of the resort and its concierge service and then some.

The villas are available for viewing at a newly launched website whose unprecedented technology enables surfers to view the villa design and the astounding surrounding landscapes as seen from each villa lot. Full details of the villas at Amangiri are available at www.villasatamangiri.com.
