Any couple can spark their romance and kindle passion with a single word. Lean over close to that special someone in your life and whisper the word they’ve been longing to hear…Sedona.
Don’t wait. Now—right now—is the sweet spot of summer. Kids are back in school, families are settling into their routine and it’s still weeks before crowds of leaf-peepers make their way to the high country. Take this opportunity to treat yourself and your sweetheart to a romantic escape in Arizona’s most romantic spot, Sedona.
Enjoy beautiful days and cool nights amid the fantasyland setting of Sedona’s red rocks. Here you’ll find sumptuous resorts sitting on the banks of Oak Creek or tucked away in private canyons, luxury hotels with private balconies, and charming inns defined by unique décor and architectural flourishes. These are the kind of dream getaways to be savored for multiple nights.
Start your days with a hot air balloon ride, rising above towering formations to greet the dawn. Or maybe you prefer a thrilling jeep ride into wild backcountry that will have you holding each other tight. Or a quiet hike to a vortex, stream or viewpoint dominated by breath-stealing panoramas that seem designed just for the two of you.
As the afternoon warms up, indulge in a spa treatment such as a body wrap, facial or even a couple’s massage. Use this time to reconnect and revel in some very special shared memories. Like dining in one of Sedona’s many fine restaurants as a late summer rain drums the roof and the rocks, then ends as quickly as it began leaving behind glistening streets and a lingering sweet perfume.
Find a comfortable perch to witness Sedona’s spectacular sunset. Then it’s just a matter of making your evening plans. Listening to live music at one of the local nightspots, sampling a flight of wines at a tasting room, or a stargazing tour to marvel at the glittering canopy of heavenly bodies are just a few of your options. Or maybe the two of you can come up with nighttime plans of your own.
A few days and nights of this and “Sedona” will become a special word in your vocabularies—a word that provokes dreamy smiles for the rest of your lives.
