Ah, Mii Amo… When I really got serious on setting my sights to hit all the top destination spas, I had to put Mii Amo on the top of my list of spas to try because it was so highly rated (most recently, the 2019 Winner of the World’s Best Awards by Travel & Leisure). I also wanted to get out to Sedona anyway, so it was an easy decision. But what caught my eye, similar to Samás Spa in Ireland, was an inspiring photo. I wanted to experience that moment in the photo for myself – well sort of. I mean, its not exactly feasible to be sitting up on top of a cliff half-naked, but its inspiring nonetheless.
The Power of Self-Care
I have to admit, when I arrived at Mii Amo it was in December, after a long year, (more like year and a half) of working on a tough project, with constant travel. To say, I was burnt out, was an understatement. I was beyond burnt out from all the stress for work and travel. Arriving at their front door step, I thought to myself, they needed a sign like the Statue of Liberty – give us your tired, your hungry, your stressed and burnt out… Well, you get the idea.
Because I was both traveling solo, as well as going to Mii Amo for the first time, I opted for the middle of the road 4-night stay package. Besides, 3-nights is just a little too short traveling from the East coast. I have of course since then, done not only the 4-night, but also the 30night (as I said, too short coming from the East Coast), as well as the ultimate 7-night journey.
Mii Amo
It’s easy to see why Mii Amo is consistently ranked highly. The staff is so attentive and nurturing. All you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy yourself. The therapists and technicians are highly skilled. The food is so good and good for you. Food is prepared in healthy ways and in spa-sized portions. So, I can be at spa and still enjoy a filet mignon and glass of wine. For me, its like the spa equivalent of having your cake and eating it too.
Within a couple of days, I get that spa glow. See what a little relaxation, pampering and nourishing food can for you? The power of nurturing self-care is truly transformative and healthy.
A Stay at Mii Am0
It all starts with the amazing scenery of the Red Rocks of Sedona as a back drop for the spa. Whether it is the restaurant, the library, the lounge area or the treatment rooms, windows provide you are rarely without a view of the scenery. The facial treatment rooms even have skylights because they want you to be able to lie on the table and experience the scenery.
The property includes 16 casitas adjacent to the spa. This is the Destination spa side of Mii Amo. Because they also service the guests staying at the Enchantment Resort, there are more guests than just those on the journey packages. The Mii Amo Journey guests who stay in the casitas and come and go from the spa to the casitas. Mii Amo definitely caters to its journey guests staying onsite.

Summary
I have returned to Mii Amo a few of times since my initial visit. To me, Mii Amo is the epitome of “Soooo Many Spas… So Little Time…” I always want to come back to Mii Amo because it is so good, but I am always torn about getting out and trying new spas too. No matter where I go, I can’t stay away for very long. In a way it is home, so maybe it really is a beacon like the Statue of Liberty.
