Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time visitor, Sedona’s soulful beauty invites us all to pause, breathe, and reconnect — with ourselves and with one another. Spring is a season of renewal, calling kindred spirits to a place where relaxation flows freely and the red rocks seem to glow with tranquil energy. Here are a few of our favorite places and activities to unwind in Sedona, that bring warmth to our hearts and peace to our minds.
New Day Spa: A Peaceful Haven
We’ve long been fans of New Day Spa, a serene retreat with lush greenery, soothing water features, and a relaxing hot tub for the ultimate rejuvenation. Inspired by desert nature and Indigenous traditions to honor our area’s rich cultural heritage, the full menu of body treatments, restorative facials, and nail services is intended to pamper mind and body. The spa’s New Southwest treatments reflect the unique essence and natural ingredients of our region, while organic and wildcrafted products honor the land and the pure essence of nature.
To make the most of your spa day, we suggest one of the inclusive packages. Favorites include:
Spring Savings ~ Aromatic Splendor Spa Package
Begin with the 90-minute Essence Aromatherapy Wrap, a full-body treatment that combines essential oils with brush exfoliation, massage, and a nourishing wrap to leave your skin soft and revitalized. Follow this with a 60-minute Hydrating Collagen Facial, designed to deeply hydrate and refresh your skin while promoting a youthful glow. This 2.5-hour package is perfect for those seeking both a soothing body treatment and a rejuvenating facial experience.
Butter on the Rocks Spa Package
Get the best of both worlds! Start off with a Desert Stone Massage! Smooth, hot, riverbed stones are used to give you a full-body massage. Their power and heat melt tense muscles, flushing away toxins and stress, leaving you deeply relaxed. Then go to the next level with the spa’s signature Ultra- Moisturizing Wrap. This cleansing and deeply hydrating body wrap begins with a gentle exfoliation. Then, signature body butter is massaged into your skin. As you relax wrapped in a warm, moist herbal sheet, your skin is deeply hydrated. Come out feeling soft and refreshed.
Finding Balance in the Vortex
Sedona’s vortex energy is legendary, and local yogis and meditation leaders have created ways for you to embrace it and breathe a little deeper here.
Vortex Yoga
Imagine greeting the sunrise with a community yoga class on a red rock overlook. Surya Sedona Yoga offers a hike and yoga session to integrate the healing energy of the vortex landscape. You can request your favorite yoga style, though hatha and vinyasa are the most popular.
Aumbase Sedona is a favorite for its rise-and-shine yoga at the powerful Airport Vortex, surrounded by red rocks, juniper trees, and mesas.
Meditation Walks
For those who find calm in movement, daily guided meditation walks wind through paths scented with juniper and wild sage. Friendly guides share gentle reminders to focus on each step, each sound, and the feeling of belonging among Sedona’s openhearted community.
Aumbase also offers these meditation hikes, which tap into the area’s spiritual energy while reducing stress, promoting inner calm, and deepening your practice in a natural setting. As you immerse yourself in the stunning red rock formations, gain clarity, inspiration, and a profound connection with nature.
Volunteer Sedona
Sometimes one of the truest ways to relax is to give yourself over to an outside cause, to find what compels you and inspires you. Volunteer Sedona is a great place to look for opportunities to support local nonprofits and municipalities while you’re visiting. From maintaining our beautiful hiking trails to helping out at a local food assistance program, there are plenty of ways for like-minded volunteers to create lasting memories that positively impact lives and communities.
