For two
A Sedona honeymoon, paced for the two of you.
Begin creekside under the sycamores, drift over the buttes at dawn, and let someone else carry every reservation in between.
Design This TripA Sedona honeymoon works best around water and stone. Open at L'Auberge de Sedona in a secluded creekside cottage on the banks of Oak Creek, then move to Enchantment Resort deep inside Boynton Canyon for the grandest red-rock seclusion the area offers.
The moments worth planning around
Build the trip around a sunset table at Mariposa with its walls of glass, a sunrise hot-air balloon over the red rocks, and a couples' treatment at Mii amo or the creekside L'Apothecary Spa. Cap the quiet evenings with the hardest reservation in town at Elote Cafe.
We hold the hard reservations, sequence the two stays so the rhythm works in your favor, and keep the days soft enough that the only decision left is which overlook to watch the sun set from.
