Take a morning stroll through the gardens, admiring a hummingbird’s grace while flitting through fresh blooming flowers. Wander along stone-paved pathways through antique doorways and arches crafted out of hand-woven tree branches, listening to the sound of the many little waterfalls and flowing waterways throughout the property. Find yourself enthralled with the magic of a water lily in bloom or watching the way the dragonflies move.

Spend an evening at The Joy Sedona enjoying a hike up to Joy Mountain and watching the sunset with panoramic views of Sedona’s iconic red rocks. Wind down around each suite’s outdoor stone fireplace while roasting marshmallows for s’mores with loved ones. Soak in the sounds of the crackling fire and flowing creek before turning in for a restful nights sleep in luxurious, plush organic bedding.
Spending time here is like walking through a portal into somewhere enchanted and magical, after which guests feel refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated.
Leaving with a revitalized sense of inspiration, it’s no wonder that most people who stay here can’t wait until the next time they can sneak away from everyday life to visit The Joy Sedona again.
