Sedona News – In celebration of Sedona’s rich connection to nature and the cosmos, the city’s most luxurious hotel and the only Two Key MICHELIN hotel in Arizona, Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel, announced today the launch of new lunar-inspired wellness, dining and adventure offerings designed to align guests with the moon’s natural rhythms amongst the mountain town’s 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 for unrestricted views that rival any stargazing destination in the world. The city has also long been recognized as a retreat with deep metaphysical roots, attracting spiritual seekers from around the globe seeking a hub for healing and transformation.
Each guest Atrium at Ambiente boasts a private rooftop deck with a daybed and firepit, perfect for daytime sunbathing and evening stargazing alfresco, making the landscape hotel a supreme sanctuary for guests looking to sojourn the Southwest under the stars this season. With rates throughout the fall starting at $1,299/night Sunday-Thursday and $1,799/night on weekends, Ambiente is now offering several celestial experiences, perfect for those traveling during the many meteor showers, eclipses and Supermoons covering the sky this fall and winter.
Dark Sky Sound Bath Session ($170)
Nestled within the main lobby building is the renowned Velvet Spa, an intimate six-room retreat that combines age-old wellness traditions with innovative technologies. Focusing on treatments that incorporate locally sourced ingredients reflecting the region’s healing essence, Velvet provides a variety of rejuvenating rituals.
This season, the wellness team introduces a transformative Sound Healing Journey beneath the stunning dark skies of Sedona. Guests will be enveloped in sound and vibration, guided through a meditation that harmoniously weaves intention and breathwork into each chakra, reaching deep into the soul. This experience will address the energy, physical, emotional, and mental aspects of being, facilitating recognition, profound release, and alignment. A variety of sound healing instruments crafted from natural materials like sand, brass, and crystals, along with a Native American drum, will help induce a state of deep relaxation.
In keeping with the celestial theme, the spa also features the Celestial Chakra treatment, inspired by the lunar events that illuminate the night sky. This transformative session employs a blend of techniques—including crystal sound bowls, traditional massage, aromatherapy, moon-shaped crystals, and gentle energy work—to rejuvenate the senses and restore harmony to the seven chakras.
Full Moon Sedona Jeep Tour | $244 per person (2 hours)Offering Sedona’s only all-private tours, Sedona Jeep Tours has partnered with Ambiente to offer guests a majestic full moon tour across the serene Sedona desert. Experience the natural beauty of the landscape as you embark with a tour guide on an enchanting moonlit jeep adventure, rekindling stories of history, legend and lore under the full moon’s brilliance.
