Most luxury hotels have a spa on site but some opt to visit a full-blown retreat destination.

 Mii Amo- Sedona, AZ

 Mii Amo in Sedona, Arizona has been on my spa destination bucket list for some time now. I have yet to get to experience it but I have a few friends who said, it is a piece of Heaven on Earth. The Luxurious Mii Amo spa/hotel is located in a red rock canyon that has been considered as an enchanting place by Native Americans. Some of the spa treatments they offer include: neuromuscular massage that helps with chronic pain, lymphatic massage, cupping, Chi Nei T’sang massage that energizes, strengthens and detoxifies the body,  and the Inner Quest Reflective of the Native American ceremony and ritual. This is a massage that uses sage and cedar oil with sweet grass being burned to create a sweat lodge to honor tribal elders. You can find many more services on their website.
