The only Two Key MICHELIN hotel in Arizona, Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel, has launched new lunar-inspired wellness, dining, and adventure offerings designed to align guests with the moon’s natural rhythms amongst a breathtaking red rock backdrop.
One of only eight destinations to earn the prestigious designation as an International Dark Sky Community – a rare sustainability accomplishment awarded based on a community’s night-sky ordinances and light pollution efforts – Sedona’s clear skies allow unrestricted views. The city is also recognized as an area with deep metaphysical roots, attracting spiritual seekers from around the globe seeking healing and transformation.
Each guest atrium has a private rooftop deck with a daybed and fire pit, perfect for daytime sunbathing and evening stargazing. Ambiente now offers celestial experiences perfect for those traveling during the meteor showers, eclipses and supermoons this fall and winter.
Dark Sky Sound Bath Session ($170)
The renowned Velvet Spa focuses on treatments incorporating locally sourced ingredients reflecting the region’s healing essence.
This season, the wellness team introduced a transformative Sound Healing Journey beneath the dark skies of Sedona. Guests will be enveloped in sound and vibration, guided through a meditation that weaves intention and breathwork into each chakra, reaching deep into the soul. Various sound healing instruments crafted from natural materials like sand, brass, crystals, and a Native American drum, will help induce deep relaxation.
In keeping with the celestial theme, the spa also features the Celestial Chakra treatment, inspired by the lunar events illuminating the night sky. This session employs crystal sound bowls, traditional massage, aromatherapy, moon-shaped crystals, and gentle energy to rejuvenate the senses and restore harmony to the seven chakras.
