There’s something incredibly special about taking a wellness trip with the women who know you best—your ride-or-dies, your sisters from another mister, your lifelong girlfriends who just get you. Recently, I had the absolute joy of escaping the daily hustle for a quick but meaningful wellness getaway in Sedona. And let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical.
We based ourselves at the breathtaking Enchantment Resort in Sedona, nestled in the stunning red rock canyons of Boynton Canyon. Between hiking to vortex sites, stargazing under impossibly clear skies, and laughing until our faces hurt, this was the kind of girls’ trip that stays with you long after the desert dust settles.
If you’ve ever dreamed of reconnecting with your soul (and your besties) in one of the most beautiful, healing places in the U.S., let this be your sign. Here’s a little recap of our Sedona itinerary—full of light, love, laughter, and all the wellness travel you could ever want.
Arrival at Enchantment Resort: Sedona’s Luxury Wellness Oasis
From the moment we checked into Enchantment Resort Sedona, I felt my shoulders relax. Tucked away in Boynton Canyon, this luxury resort is known not just for its stunning views, but for its deep integration with nature and wellness. It’s the kind of place where your soul feels seen, where the silence is nurturing, and where even a simple walk to breakfast feels like a walking meditation.
The best part? We also had access to Mii amo, the world-renowned Sedona wellness retreat that shares the property. Though Mii amo was under renovation not long ago, it’s back and better than ever—with access to a variety of spa amenities and wellness experiences that feel both indulgent and transformative.
Morning Hikes: Doe Mountain Trail & The Kachina Woman Vortex
Because no Sedona wellness retreat is complete without some trail time, we started our days with a few iconic hikes. First up: Doe Mountain Trail. This moderate 1.5-mile round-trip trail leads you to a flat mesa with panoramic views of red rock formations that look like something out of a dream. The ascent is a little steep, but so worth it. We took our time, pausing for deep breaths and scenic selfies, soaking in the crisp air and calming energy.
Next, we set out for a shorter but spiritually powerful trek to Kachina Woman, one of Sedona’s sacred vortex sites. Located near the Enchantment Resort, this formation carries feminine energy, which made it feel especially fitting for our girls’ weekend. We sat together in stillness near the base, meditating quietly as the wind rustled through the junipers. It was surreal—like the canyon was whispering secrets just to us.
Restorative Yoga & Stargazing: A Wellness Combo Made in Heaven
Back at the resort, we joined a restorative yoga class at Mii amo that left us feeling like we’d just come out of a bliss cocoon. With supportive props, long holds, and deep breathing, it was the perfect balance to our active mornings. The instructor was gentle, intuitive, and clearly connected to the healing energy of Sedona. As we moved through the poses, I found myself letting go of tension I didn’t even realize I was carrying.
But perhaps the most unexpected highlight of our trip came at night: stargazing in Sedona. Thanks to the low light pollution, the night sky here is unreal—constellations pop like diamonds, and planets feel like they’re within reach. We even saw Saturn, its rings faint but unmistakable through a telescope set up by one of the resort’s guides. There we were, lying on lounge chairs under blankets, sipping herbal tea and whispering “wow” every few seconds like kids. Talk about perspective.
Where We Ate: Hummingbird, Che Ah Chi, and Tii Gavo
Of course, no girls’ getaway is complete without some next-level food. We dined at a few standout Sedona restaurants located right on the resort grounds, each with its own vibe and menu of nourishing, locally sourced dishes.
At Hummingbird at Mii amo, the menu is rooted in wellness, featuring vibrant dishes like roasted beet hummus, wild mushroom risotto, and fresh herbal teas. It’s clean eating without being boring—and the ambiance is just as nourishing as the food.
For dinner, we headed to Che Ah Chi, the more upscale of Enchantment’s restaurants. The views alone are worth the visit—floor-to-ceiling windows open to red rock cliffs that turn fiery orange at sunset. I had the mesquite-grilled steak with seasonal vegetables and nearly cried, it was so good. Also, their wine list? Chef’s kiss.
Then there’s Tii Gavo, which offers a more casual but equally delicious experience. Think elevated Southwestern cuisine, like bison tacos, smoked brisket nachos, and prickly pear margaritas. We lingered on the patio here one night, wrapped in shawls and telling old stories, belly-laughing and sipping cocktails under the stars.
Why Sedona Is the Ultimate Wellness Getaway
If you’re searching for the best wellness destination in the U.S., Sedona, Arizona should be at the top of your list. The natural beauty is enough to recharge your spirit, but the town is also full of intentional spaces designed for healing—whether it’s through nature, movement, connection, or quiet.
This trip reminded me of the deep, soul-level value of spending time with your best friends, especially in a place that encourages presence and reflection. We weren’t rushing from one activity to the next. We were just being—together. Laughing, walking, breathing, being silly, being still. It was the kind of trip that fills you up in the best way.
Tips for Planning Your Sedona Girls’ Wellness Getaway
1. Book accommodations early – Resorts like Enchantment and Mii amo fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall).
2. Make time for the vortex hikes – Whether or not you believe in the energy, the views are spectacular and the vibe is peaceful.
3. Prioritize a mix of activity and rest – Hike in the morning, relax at the spa in the afternoon, stargaze at night. It’s a perfect rhythm.
4. Try something new – Whether it’s a sound bath, tarot reading, or crystal shopping in town, lean into the unique spirit of Sedona.
5. Go with your soul sisters – The experience is amplified when shared with people who make you feel safe, seen, and silly.
Final Thoughts
