Mii Amo means “Moving Forward”
Indulge in a spa treatment or two at the Mii Amo Spa, located on the
grounds of Enchantment. This exclusive 24,000 sq. foot spa is ranked
among the top among the top in the U.S., inspired by Native American
wisdom and traditions.
Unique to the spa are various restorative treatments, steeped in native
Yuman tradition in 60 and 90 minute sessions. Massage, body wraps,
Ayurveda, facials and spiritual sessions open the pathways to renewal.
Highly skilled therapists use custom-blended oils and lotions to promote
optimum healing and wellness. My hydrating facial was set in a room with
an open window to the mountains, making the experience that much richer.
Culinary Enchantment
The casitas also have kitchenettes, so it’s easy to prepare meals or dine in one of the five venues that feature contemporary cuisine with Southwest influences and locally sourced ingredients.
At night, the stars come out en masse, highlighting the red rocks below. Tucked inside the canyon, Enchantment will create wonderful memories of being together in this gorgeous setting your family will cherish for years.
