Program Highlights

What You’ll Do on the Program

This isn’t just restaurant work — it’s your front-row seat to five-star hospitality. At Amangiri, you can choose between two standout tracks: Food & Beverage or Culinary Arts.

Food & Beverage Track

You’ll rotate through key roles in Amangiri’s Food & Beverage team — mastering the art of luxury service in one of the world’s most exclusive resorts. Think:

  • Seater/Greeter – the first face guests see, setting the tone with warmth and professionalism

  • Server – delivering seamless service with style, precision, and personality

You’ll build confidence, polish your communication skills, and learn how to run a dining experience that’s unforgettable from start to finish.

Culinary Arts Track

If your passion lives in the kitchen, the Culinary Arts track puts you side-by-side with the chefs at Amangiri’s open-plan kitchen. You’ll be part of a team that presents sustainable, seasonal menus inspired by the culinary heritage of the Navajo Nation and the American Southwest — all crafted using local ingredients and global influences.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in:

  • Preparing dishes for resort guests and non-residents alike
  • Working with a wood-fired oven and modern plating techniques
  • Contributing to experiences like the signature “Spirit of the Journey” four-course tasting menu — a tribute to the region’s five Indigenous tribes

Whether you’re front-of-house or behind the pass, this program offers rare insight into what it takes to deliver refined, thoughtful hospitality in a breathtaking setting.

Pay rates range from $7.50 USD + tips to $13.50 USD per hour, with a guaranteed minimum of 32 hours per week.

Participants on this program will be required to obtain a J-1 Intern or Trainee visa through Yummy Jobs and will be able to train for a period of time as outlined by Amangiri. Upon completion of the program, participants will have up to 30 days to travel within the United States. Participants must then return to their home country upon completion of the program.

Tucked into the heart of Utah’s Grand Circle, Amangiri is your gateway to some of the most iconic landscapes in North America — think Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Monument Valley, home of the Navajo Nation.

Set across 243 hectares of otherworldly desert beauty, this five-star sanctuary blends minimalist luxury with raw, rugged nature. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and culture — whether you’re leading guests through sunrise hikes or learning about Navajo traditions woven into every detail of the resort experience.

You’ll share a fully furnished house or apartment with fellow interns or trainees, giving you a ready-made community from day one. It’s a comfortable, convenient setup with everything you need to focus on your training (and maybe squeeze in a few canyon hikes on your days off).

Housing is payroll deducted at $500 USD per month, and that includes all utilities.*
