Amara Resort and Spa Sedona Reviewed in 2025

What to Do

Amara Resort set along the banks of Oak Creek, makes it an ideal spot for exploring. You can walk down to the creek, watch the water flow over the boulders in the creek, see trout and great blue herons by the water’s edge, admire the Red Rocks in the distance, and smile at the lizards running over the rocks on the banks.

There is also complimentary access to the hotel’s mountain bikes. The Concierge team can help you explore Sedona even more with other experiences like a Red Rocks Jeep Tour, Private Hike Excursions, Private Yoga and Meditation, and rounds of golf.

When you aren’t outside exploring Sedona, you can pamper yourself at the Amara Spa. You can indulge in traditional spa treatments like massages, facials, body scrubs, and wraps; go for Amara’s Rain Dance Massage, which uses lavender, sage, and rosemary oils on you, or use the steam rooms. If you plan to stay at Amara and engage in the spa services, you should book your services 6 to 8 weeks in advance.

There is also a heated infinity pool, a hot tub that stays open late, a state-of-the-art fitness center that is open 24 hours a day, fire pits to enjoy the dark skies of Sedona, and free golf cart rides up the hill to Sedona’s Main Street.

What to Eat & Drink

The on-site SaltRock Southwest Kitchen uses local Verde Valley seasonal ingredients. The casual restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating on its patio, allowing you to enjoy the views of the Red Rocks while you dine.

You can also enjoy creative drinks like their agave margaritas and mezcal cocktails. And if you are too tired after a full day of exploring, you can get room service in the comfort of your room.
