Experience the healing powers of Sedona with a perfectly paced itinerary balancing natural wonders, luxurious relaxation, and local wellness experiences.
Edited by Taylor Cahan | October 30, 2025
Sedona’s red rock landscapes invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Here, the sandstone formations glow at sunrise and sunset, and the air is filled with a sense of magic. Known for its legendary energy vortexes and vibrant wellness culture, Sedona is a place where you can nurture your mind, body, and spirit in equal measure.
This three-day Sedona wellness retreat blends luxury, nature, and spiritual experiences complemented by a blissful stay at Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock. Each day is designed to help you ground yourself in nature, move with intention, and savor spa rituals and mindful meals. From sunrise yoga to vortex hikes and holistic healing, your journey in Sedona begins here.
Friday
Morning
Arrive at Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock and step into a space where relaxation and renewal are woven into every detail. After checking in, take a moment to explore the resort’s amenities. The eforea Spa offers signature treatments inspired by Sedona’s natural elements, while the on-site athletic club and daily fitness classes set the tone for your wellness journey. With the iconic Bell Rock butte just a short drive away, you are perfectly positioned to immerse yourself in Sedona’s energy from the start.
Afternoon
Enjoy a light lunch at the poolside Blue Water Café , then take a guided hike at Bell Rock to experience the powerful energy vortex. Many believe these vortexes are sites of concentrated earth energy, ideal for intention setting and gentle grounding. Bell Rock, in particular, is said to encourage inspiration, personal growth, and expanded perspectives. Pause to feel the sun on your skin, notice subtle shifts in sensation, and set a personal intention for your weekend.
Evening
Ease into your evening with a signature treatment or two at eforea Spa, like a Hydrafacial, balance massage, sound bowl therapy, or simply a soothing steam in the eucalyptus steam room. As the sun dips behind the red rocks, join a sunset meditation or unwind with gentle movement in the fitness center. Cap off your first day with a locally sourced, chef-crafted dinner at the on-site ShadowRock Tap+Table.
Saturday
Morning
Wake with the sun for a morning movement session or guided meditation at the resort, then enjoy a breakfast of fresh fruit, steel-cut oats, cage-free eggs, and energizing juices to fuel your day of exploration. Set out on a guided hike to Cathedral Rock, Airport Mesa, and Boynton Canyon, Sedona’s other major vortex sites beyond Bell Rock. Each vortex is believed to offer a unique energetic experience — some uplifting and energizing, others more introspective and calming. All of these sites are a short drive from the resort, and local guides can help you experience the landscape safely and meaningfully.
Afternoon
Book a holistic healing session at a local wellness center for the afternoon. Whether you choose Reiki, a sound bath, or a breathwork class, these experiences offer a gentle reset for mind and spirit. Ask the resort concierge for recommendations to find a practitioner that caters to your needs and desired modalities. Allow yourself to fully unplug and commit to this moment of self-care.
Evening
Head back to Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock to unwind by the pool or book a restorative energy ritual at the spa for a restorative ritual. Enjoy a vibrant dinner al fresco with water features and ambient spaces on The Porch, followed by live music and lawn games.
Sunday
Morning
Greet the day with an early hike or trail run along one of Sedona’s scenic red rock trails, such as the Bell Rock Pathway. Take time to pause, breathe deeply, and soak in the sweeping views. After your outdoor adventure, return to the resort for a spa recovery ritual and a relaxing afternoon poolside, letting the warmth of the sun and the sound of water ease any lingering tension.
Afternoon
Enjoy a healthy brunch at the resort, then take time to journal, set intentions for your return home, and simply savor your final moments in Sedona. This is your moment to reflect on the weekend’s experiences and the sense of renewal you have cultivated. When it’s time to check out, the resort team is ready to assist for a seamless departure.
Until next time!
As you depart from the majestic red rocks, carry the clarity and renewed energy you’ve cultivated, knowing the true vortex for healing is within you. The trails and sacred canyons will be waiting whenever you need to return for a deeper dive into Sedona's holistic spirit.
