The Most Romantic Weekend Getaways in the US
"What’s to love: In between the towering sandstone cliffs and dramatic rust-hued canyons of southern Utah lies Amangiri, a working masterclass in delivering ultra-luxury in one of America’s most unspoiled, picturesque settings. Breathtaking vistas of the Colorado Plateau abound thanks to a minimalist design that skews heavy on glass, transitional indoor-outdoor spaces and structures etched into the surrounding sedimentary rock, including the got-to-see-it-believe-it heated swimming pool. Spacious rooms promise the ultimate in serenity, service is tops without being intrusive, the gastronomy is consistently excellent, and activities skew experiential to once-in-a-lifetime. It's with good reason Amangiri reigns one of the most hyped hotels on social media. Romance factor: Wear your cutest desert hiking threads for the Navajo Nation Slot Canyons tour. Amangiri boasts exclusive access to several of the canyons near iconic Antelope Canyon, including Rattlesnake Canyon and Owl Canyon. Here, you’ll revel in the red rock glory without the crowds, returning with the most amazing photos to prove it (Aman’s guides are well versed in the canyons’ most Instagrammable shots and are happy to snap away.) Another day, plan to scale mountain sides via cables and ladder rungs at the on-site Via Ferrata circuit, bonding over this unforgettable (and white-knuckled), instructor-led experience. Afterwards, relax in the 25,000 square feet spa and then engage in one of the many Navajo cultural activities in the main pavilion, including Navajo storytelling by the fire. Get there: A twenty-minute drive from Page Airport; a 4.5-hour drive from Phoenix International Airport and four-hour drive from Las Vegas International Airport" - Paul Rubio
