Enveloped on all sides by majestic red rock buttes, this dreamy desert town is celebrated for its meditative powers and jaw-dropping natural beauty.
Where to stay: L'Auberge de Sedona, a secluded retreat and nature spa. Eat a candlelit dinner on the creek, pamper yourselves in the spa, or take your spouse on a private forest bathing session in the thick of the Arizona wilderness.
What to do: Bring your hiking shoes, as Sedona is peppered with stunning trails and famous view points at every turn (or explore the vistas by Jeep). With limited light pollution, the desert oasis is a stellar place to gaze at the star-studded night sky.
