Majestic nature that cleanses the soul—step out your door to see one of the world’s three great waterfalls, towering red cliffs standing in solitary splendor; ride the magic carpet from One Thousand and One Nights to visit unimaginably creative boutique hotels where the horizon is no longer the only boundary between earth and sky; shift through time and space, step into the life of a film, enter the magician’s cube where artists freely express themselves, challenge your visual limits with endless spectacles—the room itself becomes the wonder; write the meaning of travel amidst flowing scenery, make a wish to the aurora dancing across the sky in front of floor-to-ceiling windows. Experience the unknown, realize the imagination, and travel within the journey.

Arizona’s Magic Red
Enchantment Resort
Sedona, a small town in Arizona’s canyon country, is hailed as one of the top ten most beautiful towns in the United States. Towering red rock cliffs around it, carved by wind, frost, rain, and snow, display varying shades, unique textures, and diverse shapes. Nestled among them, the Enchantment Resort is like a rose in the desert, offering travelers an enchanting and elegant retreat where they can immerse themselves in the “magical” forces of nature without a care.

Recently renovated with a $25 million investment, Enchantment Resort has achieved even more seamless integration with the Sedona landscape. Its bold yet simple architectural design preserves the natural surroundings, with carefully selected materials such as solid wood, air-dried adobe bricks, and local flagstone creating a unified concept with the environment. Even if you weren’t staying here recently, you’d still be amazed. Despite being built in the modern era, it retains a strong connection to nature. Equipped with thoughtful amenities, Enchantment Resort offers features like an outdoor pool where you can gaze at the starry sky—a pool that has been rated among the most beautiful in the U.S. Other highlights include the Miiamo Spa, which provides global spa treatments. Its secluded location and treatment rooms with skylights allow guests to relax physically and mentally while elevating their spirit to a meditative, distraction-free state through the magnificent surroundings.
The restaurant Tii Gavo, known for its terrace views and Southwestern cuisine, also serves locally brewed craft beers and an impressive selection of Arizona wines, making it highly recommended. For discerning wine enthusiasts, consider upgrading to View 180, whose wine list is featured in the prestigious Wine Spectator’s top selections. Paired with the exotic scenery of red rocks and forests, it’s an experience like no other.
