Adventure: Amangiri Resort in Canyon Port, Utah

There's no better way to commune with nature than by heading to the open desert.

HOTEL The Amangiri is an architectural wonder and low-key luxury at its best. The 25,000-square-foot spa is unbeatable. From $1,050 per night.

RESTAURANT The dining room has floor-to-ceiling glass doors that reveal breathtaking lunar landscapes. The wood-fired oven adds flavor to the healthy menu.

MUST-DO Take in the views (towering red rocks, star-filled skies) from one of the lounge chairs poolside or venture to the Grand Canyon, which is close by. Go fly-fishing in the Colorado River.

CHEAP THRILL Sign up for an outdoor yoga class located atop a 165-million-year-old sandstone formation.
