AMBIENTE: A LANDSCAPE HOTEL

Slated to open by November, Ambiente: A Landscape Hotel is one of 2021’s most anticipated debuts. The brainchild of Two Sister Bosses, a sibling-owned luxury hotel development and management company by Sedona natives Jennifer May and Colleen Tebrake, the 3-acre sustainable property has been constructed to embrace Sedona’s stunning topography. Guests will have the opportunity to stay in 40 cubeshaped atriums, which are elevated to provide primo views of Sedona’s signature red rocks and the surrounding Coconino National Forest. Further, top chef Lisa Dahl (the culinary whiz and CEO behind Dahl Restaurant Group, which owns the award-winning Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill and Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano, among others) will lead the resort’s signature restaurant, Alchemy. Accessible to hotel guests only, the concept will serve breakfast and lunch daily with rotating menus based on the seasons. “For me, Alchemy will be a fantasy,” shares Dahl. “It will be eclectic and adventurous. There are no rules, yet each dish will be precisely designed to leave Ambiente’s guests dreaming about what they’ll eat next. Dishes at Alchemy are inspired by the Southwest with hints of Italian, Latin and Mediterranean influences, with the perfect mix of comfort and whimsy.” Think ahi tuna poke soft tacos with avocado-wasabi cream, lentil walnut fritters and a teriyaki-roasted beet burger topped with blistered herb goat cheese. 928.699.1267, ambientesedona.com

ENCHANTMENT RESORT

Surrounded by 70 acres of natural beauty, Enchantment Resort is the place to check in for a much-needed respite. Stay in one of the haciendas, complete with an expansive living room—featuring an open-beamed ceiling and beehive fireplace—bedrooms and full bathrooms on either side, a balcony, a private entrance, a full kitchen and more. During the day, choose from one of Enchantment’s 100 weekly activities, including guided hiking and mountain biking treks (the Boynton Canyon Trail is a must), luxury treatments at Mii amo spa or a round of golf at Seven Canyons. Further, adventure seekers should schedule time to explore Oak Creek Canyon, which boasts breathtaking views of scarlet cliffs and rock formations. Spend the afternoon diving into natural swimming holes, pulling off at a secluded lookout for a picnic, or stopping by to support and shop some of the local Native American artists showcasing their work along the many pathways.

L’AUBERGE DE SEDONA

Prioritize your health and wellness at the tranquil L’Auberge de Sedona. Set on the banks of Oak Creek, the property is now offering a new Revitalization Retreat, where guests can spend four nights and five days indulging in hiking, spa treatments, forest bathing, sound healing, yoga, stargazing and more. “We are spiritual beings on an incredible human adventure,” says Donna Bond, professional life coach and soulcentered facilitator, who created the retreat. “Revitalizing your spirit and integrating it with your humanness inspires a true sense of personal wholeness.” Bond, along with a team of practitioners and healers, will additionally lead a variety of mindful workshops, from “Thoughts Become Things” to “Cultivating Intuition.” “A fresh start is a top resolution guests are seeking in 2021,” adds L’Auberge de Sedona managing director Kurt Wiksten. “With this new retreat, we’re providing our guests with a new chapter of self-healing on a physical, mental and spiritual level, all centered among Sedona’s soothing sights and sounds.” While three spa treatments are included throughout the five-day retreat, scheduling a full day of pampering at the famed L’Apothecary Spa is equally encouraged if you’re stopping by for the day or enjoying the resort on your own. Start at the Blending Bar, where you can draw upon the area’s rich bounty of healing botanicals, herbs and flowers—think rosemary, pinyon pine and juniper, to name a few—to create custom body products, before using your unique curation during the L’Aromatherapy Essential Massage. Relaxation awaits! Revitalization Retreat June 20- 24, July 25-29, Aug. 22-26, Dec. 5-9; from $4,396 per person, 855.905.5745, lauberge.com
