Enchantment Resort
Boynton Canyon-set casitas, Mii Amo's parent property, the wellness retreat with golf adjacency.
Boynton Canyon-set casitas, Mii Amo's parent property, the wellness retreat with golf adjacency.
"The Boynton Canyon resort that shares its grounds with Mii Amo, but lets you take wellness a la carte."
Why this rank: Enchantment Resort opened in 1987 on the floor of Boynton Canyon and shares its grounds with the Mii Amo destination spa. Its 218 rooms sit in low adobe casitas, hemmed by red rock on three sides. The wellness here is opt-in: a full-service spa, guided canyon hikes from a trailhead minutes from the lobby, plus yoga, tennis and mountain biking. Che-Ah-Chi handles fine dining; the casual Tii Gavo and the View 180 lounge cover the rest. The distinction worth understanding is that neighbouring Mii Amo runs as an all-inclusive, program-driven destination spa, while Enchantment is the resort you book when you want the same setting without the fixed curriculum. The trade-off is focus: serious spa-goers may find the wellness less immersive than a dedicated retreat. Best for travellers who want Boynton Canyon and a good spa on their own terms.
Best room: a Casita Suite with a private patio and a direct red-rock view
"Boynton Canyon-set casitas, Mii Amo's parent property, the wellness retreat with golf adjacency."
Enchantment Resort sits on the floor of Boynton Canyon, sharing its grounds with Mii Amo. That adjacency is the whole proposition: Mii Amo is the all-inclusive destination spa next door, while Enchantment is the resort you book when you want the same red-rock setting on your own schedule. Its 218 rooms occupy low adobe casitas spread across the canyon floor, and the upper-tier Casita Suites add a private patio with a direct view of the walls. Wellness is opt-in rather than prescribed. A full-service spa, guided canyon hikes from a trailhead a few minutes from the lobby, yoga, tennis and mountain biking are all available a la carte, and the Tom Weiskopf-designed Seven Canyons golf course is close by. Dining runs from the fine-dining Che-Ah-Chi to the casual, firepit-lit Tii Gavo. The honest trade-off is that a resort built for range will feel less immersive than a dedicated spa retreat; if you want a fixed program, Mii Amo is the better fit. For everyone else, Enchantment is the right pick: the canyon, the hikes and a strong spa, taken at your own pace.
Ask for a Casita Suite with a private patio facing the canyon wall. The standard casitas are comfortable but smaller and set further back, with less of the red-rock view that makes the property.
The Boynton Canyon trailhead is minutes from the lobby, so start with the early hike before the heat and the crowds. Book the spa and any guided sessions when you reserve, not on arrival; they sell out, and Che-Ah-Chi's terrace tables for sunset go first of all.
Enchantment Resort sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Sedona for a Wellness Retreat list. It scored an aggregate 9.7/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a wellness retreat-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Sedona neighbourhood, see Boynton Canyon and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If the dates are locked in, secure the room around the three-month mark. The Casita Suites with the best canyon-wall views sell through first, and spring and autumn, Sedona's prime hiking seasons, are tighter than midsummer. For those windows, availability is measured in months rather than weeks.
Editorial · #6 on the Top 20 Wellness Retreat Hotels 2026 list
Enchantment Resort's case for a wellness retreat rests on the Boynton Canyon setting paired with a flexible, full-resort format. Where neighbouring Mii Amo runs as an all-inclusive destination spa with set programmes, Enchantment lets guests add spa treatments, guided hikes and classes to an ordinary stay without committing to a fixed curriculum.
The 218 rooms occupy low adobe casitas on the canyon floor, walled by red rock on three sides. A full-service spa anchors the wellness offering, supported by guided canyon hikes from a trailhead minutes from the lobby, plus yoga, tennis and mountain biking.
Dining is split between the casual Tii Gavo, with indoor seating and a fire-lit terrace, and the fine-dining Che-Ah-Chi, with the View 180 lounge for sunsets. The casita layout suits couples, friends and solo travellers alike, and the resort welcomes families, which is the clearest structural difference from Mii Amo's adults-only, program-driven format. Best for travellers who want the red-rock setting and a good spa without the all-inclusive commitment next door.
