Enchantment’s one-story adobe accommodations blend into the colorful, peak-filled backdrop and don’t take away from the breathtaking panoramas.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked eight miles outside central Sedona, the grounds offer room-to-trail access directly onto the Boynton Canyon and Mescal trail systems.
The rooms
Pueblo-style casitas feature private viewing decks facing the canyon, with wood-beamed ceilings, Southwestern textiles, and corner beehive fireplaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the outdoor pool deck, set directly beneath the towering red-rock cliffs of Boynton Canyon.
The spa
The gym and courts
Woodway treadmills look out toward pine trees, and outdoor pickleball courts sit right beneath the canyon walls.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Che Ah Chi
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight onto towering red-rock formations during breakfast and regional Southwestern dinners.
Sitting at the entrance to a secluded red-rock canyon eight miles outside Sedona, Enchantment Resort may be the Southwest’s most visually stunning accommodation.
Restaurant
Tii Gavo
Guests gather around outdoor fire pits on the terrace for casual Southwestern dishes under illuminated red cliffs.
At the table

How it began
Opened in 1987 on ancestral Yavapai land, the resort was originally conceived by founder John Gardiner as a secluded tennis ranch.
