ON OUR RADAR: UTAH'S NEWEST KID ON THE BLOCK

On July 1,  Aman Hotels unveiled it’s latest masterpiece, Amangiri Camp Sarika, a luxury camping experience situated on 136 breathtaking acres of land in the glorious Utah Desert. Camp Sarika is comprised of 10 luxurious tented pavilions, covered by soft canvas made from recycled plastic bottles and house custom designed furniture. There are one and two-bedroom options, each including a living area, dining area, bar, and fire pit. The encampment is just a short 10-minute drive from its sister resort, Amangiri, a MAPPS fav. While the camp site has it’s own pool, restaurant and bar, those staying at the camp will also have full access to the resort’s facilities and adventure team, delivering an epic experience like never before. From horseback riding to hiking Antelope Canyon, from rock-climbing and repelling to a hot air balloon ride or a helicpoter over Bryce National Park or boating on Lake Powell, there is something for everyone. Ready to go glamping? So are we, so send us an email to start planning. A sneak peek below —

THE CLIENT POSTCARD: FAMILY ADVENTURE IN JACKSON HOLE

Hotel: Caldera House, an intimate boutique hotel offering unparalleled access to adventure in a setting to die for. Each of the eight suites is more like a self-contained home than a hotel suite, with a lavish kitchen and living and dining areas in addition to the bedrooms. Half of them are 5,000 square feet with four bedrooms each, plus a copper hot tub on the terrace, and the rest are 1,500 square feet with two bedrooms. 

“ We loved absolutely everything about Caldera House! The spectacular setting, service, style and our accommodations were next level, matched only by the extraordinary attention to every detail of our stay. Always relaxed, never stuffy, our needs were anticipated and met at our every turn. As if whatever we needed, or wanted, was there before we even asked. Being at Caldera was like being at home…only with a full-time staff, dreamy surroundings and luxurious accommodations. It was really hard to leave."

Trip Highlights: 

“The Via Ferrata guided climbing experience was one of the best family activities we’ve ever done and it was right outside the door of Caldera. Rafting along the Snake River was pretty epic (family member going overboard optional) and while the boys golfed, we girls had a private yoga class in our room which was really lovely.”

Dianne’s Tips: 

The fresh waffles at Corbett’s Cabin at the top of the tram on Jackson Mountain. Hard to know what’s better…the view or the waffles. 

Finally, do yourself a favor and don’t leave Jackson without a trip (or two or three) to Persephone. We rented bikes at Caldera and pedaled our way there. SO worth it! Plus you can work off some of the calories you’ll clearly be piling on. Coffees, pastries, breakfast & lunch specials, salads, sparkling rose, cocktails, take & bake treats, gifts for the home…I could go on. Dare you to go just once.
