Two Bunches Palms
Red Mountain Resort
Located in St. George, Utah the vibe at Red is a go at your own speed adventure retreat with a holistic, slightly granola focus on inner wellness such as nutritional coaching and energy assessments plus bad-ass activities such as cayoneering (the exploration of a canyon from point A to point B using a range of techniques that include hiking, scrambling, sliding, stemming, chimneying and rappelling) and horseback riding. All vacations include accommodations, daily guided hikes, bike rentals, three healthy meals daily, fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, healthy life classes and events, personal discovery activities, and WiFi.

Red Mountain Resort has everything you need to relax, renew and rediscover your passion for adventure. As one of the most ideally located resorts in St. George, Utah, Red Mountain Resort allows for customized adventures to Zion or Bryce Canyon National Parks, while Snow Canyon State Park is only about a quarter of a mile down the road. Be as active or relaxed, social or private, as you wish at this top choice in Utah resorts. Sessions with a shaman caught my eye as well as the wine-based Mojito!

Mii Amo
Located in Sedona, Arizona this unfussy boutique spa with just 16 adobe style rooms is framed by Sedona's red rocks. Offerings are grounded in Native American rituals. Hikes to the "Vortex" energy center, and top notch organic cuisine piqued my interest. Mii amo, which means “journey” in a Native American language, focuses on one’s “personal journey to health and wellness.” There are only sixteen spa casitas and suites, so spots book up quickly. Visitors choose among five journeys: healthy lifestyle, rejuvenation, de-stress, spiritual exploration and ayurvedic balance. Multitaskers can create their own experience, combining elements of multiple journeys. Each program includes accommodations, meals, classes and two sixty- or ninety-minute treatments a day, as well as a Mii amo robe and daily “gifts.”

The interior design of the public rooms and casitas merges a southwest aesthetic with minimalist furniture for a sleek Santa Fe soothing atmosphere. The design philosophy, which can seem sleek to the point of sterile at first, emphasizes the outdoors and a purposeful simplicity, so one focuses not on extreme luxury or comfort but the beauty of the surrounding nature and the contemplation of one’s journey. Rooms are not monastic cells exactly but their sparseness is intentional.

Canyon Ranch
Located in Tuscon, Arizona the vibe here is rooted in traditional ranch style luxury camp. With postcard worthy mountain views and spa menus that offer everything from medical workups to yoga and art classes Canyon redefined health by unifying mind, body and spirit.. I was really interested in the Spiritual Wellness Center with Zen garden and craft workshops, and the Primitive Outdoor Skills course! Now is the time to visit Canyon because they are celebrating their 40 year anniversary.
