Amangiri Launches Private Flight Tours Across Utah’s National Parks

Set within a quiet expanse of the Colorado Plateau, Amangiri has long been a place where travellers come to encounter the desert at its own pace. The architecture folds itself into the rock, the mesas rise around the property like steady companions, and the landscape dictates the rhythm of the day. It is from this setting — stark, cinematic, and strangely grounding — that Amangiri has introduced a new way to experience the region.

The property now offers private flight tours to three of Utah’s national parks: Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. The idea is simple but transformative. Guests depart from Page Airport, board a KingAir 200 or Pilatus PC-12 NG, and take off over terrain that shifts in colour and scale with every passing minute. From the air, the desert looks unfamiliar — the canyons flatten into long gestures, rock formations dissolve into patterns, and the sense of distance collapses.

Once on the ground, the experience slows. A guided four-hour exploration follows, allowing guests to walk to the double arch at Arches, stand at the edge of Canyonlands’ upheaval dome, or trace the trail to Hickman Natural Bridge in Capitol Reef. The sequence — sky first, earth second — creates a rare continuity between the vastness seen from above and the textures felt underfoot.

For those staying at Amangiri, this new offering reshapes what is possible within a single trip. With these flights, the entire set of Utah’s “Mighty 5” becomes accessible, along with the Grand Canyon just across the Arizona border. The desert, already immense from the property’s vantage point, opens even further.

What remains constant is Amangiri’s approach to the landscape. The property has never tried to compete with its surroundings; instead, it listens to them. The flight tours follow the same instinct. They allow guests to understand the region’s scale without rushing through it, to move between perspectives without losing the stillness that defines a stay here.

The desert has many ways of being seen. This one — beginning in the air, returning to the ground, and ending in the quiet of Amangiri — adds a new layer to that conversation.
