The Best Wellness Retreats in Sedona, Arizona 

Situated along the banks of Oak Creek Canyon, just steps from buzzing Uptown Sedona, Amara Resort and Spa is the one if you’re looking for rugged nature with a social vibe. The high-end accommodation takes inspiration from the landscape and native American history – think local artwork and an infinity pool looking out towards the red rock mountainside. Jeep tours, private yoga and meditation classes and golf are offered as optional extras, plus there is an onsite fitness centre and spa.

Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa claims luxe comforts from a fresh perspective and it certainly delivers on both. Inside the resort, you’ll find a swimming pool with a sundeck, set amongst the dramatic red rock mountainside, wellness sessions and a daily wine tour. This is all before you even get to the views of Thunder Mountain, minutes from the trailhead, and a wealth of activities.
