Back at Arabella, a complimentary breakfast offers a relaxed way to ease into the rest of the day—no need to rush, just time to savor the moment together.
Explore Sedona’s Most Romantic Trails
Sedona is known for its scenic hiking trails, and many of them are perfect for couples looking to spend quality time outdoors. Trails like Bell Rock Pathway or Cathedral Rock offer breathtaking views without requiring a full-day commitment, making them ideal for a Valentine’s itinerary.
Walking side by side through red rock landscapes, pausing for photos, and taking in the stillness of the desert creates a kind of connection that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. It’s simple, but that’s what makes it meaningful.
With Arabella’s central location, you’re never far from the trailhead – so you can easily fit in a morning hike before transitioning into a more relaxed afternoon.
Stroll Through Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village
For a slower-paced, romantic activity, spend part of your day exploring Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, located just a short walk from the hotel.
Designed to resemble a traditional Mexican village, Tlaquepaque is filled with charming courtyards, boutique shops, art galleries, and hidden corners that feel made for wandering. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time – browsing handcrafted pieces, discovering local artists, and finding a unique keepsake to remember your trip.
Indulge in a Romantic Dinner for Two
Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a memorable dinner, and Sedona offers plenty of options for a romantic night out. From intimate dining rooms to restaurants with sweeping views, there’s no shortage of places to celebrate.
After dinner, the experience doesn’t have to end. Returning to Arabella means you can continue the evening in a more private, relaxed setting – perhaps with a quiet walk around the property or a moment by the fire.
Unwind Together Under the Stars
One of the most magical parts of Sedona is what happens after the sun goes down. With minimal light pollution, the night sky comes alive with stars, creating the perfect backdrop for a quiet, shared moment.
