Pamper yourself with a Grand Canyon spa package

Sedona’s luxurious Amara Hotel, Restaurant and Spa has just unveiled an amazing Grand Canyon travel package – combining the relaxing beauty of Sedona with an exciting adventure to one of the Seven Wonders of the World that both excites the senses and soothes the body and mind.

Now, I know what you are thinking – the Grand Canyon? Amazing, sure – but not exactly known for its rest and relaxation qualities. I for one have been to the Grand Canyon a few years back, and it was one of the most awe-inspiring experiences (and one of the inspirations behind starting this site) to which I have ever been privileged. I bundled the trip with a week-long excursion through the Red Rocks of Sedona – I hiked, I climbed, I got very, very sweaty. And yes, after all was said and done and I had burned through about a gallon of bottled water, I could have definitely used a luxurious spa retreat to soothe my muscles and tend to every aching nerve.

So, with this new “calling” in mind, I think another trip is definitely called for.

A destination for everyone’s adventure

The AAA Four-Diamond, award-winning Amara Hotel, Restaurant and Spa, beautifully nestled within the natural beauty of Sedona, Arizona, is offering a once-in-a-lifetime Grand Canyon Adventure. Guests can relax in comfort while being pampered by the attentive staff, reveling in the sights and sounds of the surrounding natural landscape, then spend an unforgettable day on a professionally guided tour of one of nature’s greatest marvels – the awe-inspiring beauty of the Grand Canyon.

What USA Today calls, “the most beautiful place on earth.” Sedona’s natural beauty, climate, clean air and water make it one of Arizona’s most popular tourist destinations, second only to the Grand Canyon.
