Love Is In The Air (And Rocks!) In Sedona, Arizona
(Sedona, Arizona) With
Valentine’s Day just around the corner, one’s thoughts turn to love and
romance. This year instead of the standard card, chocolates and flowers,
why not surprise that special someone with a romantic getaway to
Arizona’s Red Rock country, Sedona? The spectacular scenery alone is
enough to get one’s heart beating, add in all the great dining and
exciting activities and Sedona becomes the perfect place for romance.
The Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort
The first thing one must do is find a
romantic place to stay… The Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort was built for
romance. Located on the Sedona Golf Resort and surrounded by beautiful
Red Rocks, this resort offers views galore. In addition, the resort also
offers first class amenities: heated pools, hot tubs, fitness center,
spa services and personal Concierge service. But being a getaway about
love, one must have a room conducive to romance. The one bedroom suites
at this resort feature: fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, private patios or
balconies and full kitchens. What better way to end a day in Sedona,
then with a soak in one’s private whirlpool tub followed by a glass of
wine in front of the fireplace?

Now, what to do? Sedona offers a wide
range of activities that will be sure to inspire love in the object of
one’s affection. How about a sunset Jeep Tour? Jeeps take one through
the Red Rocks to the perfect vista just in time to watch the sunset. Or
maybe a horseback ride? Discover the natural beauty of Sedona on
horseback, and then end the evening under the stars dining on a campfire
dinner, while being serenaded by a live guitarist. Start the day with
romance in a Hot Air Balloon as it floats above Sedona and provides
unparalleled views of the Red Rock formations. Once on land, one is
treated to champagne and a light breakfast. Finally a romantic train
ride to the Grand Canyon. Sit back, toast each other and watch the world
go by… Once at the Grand Canyon, there is plenty of time to explore the
area before the return ride home.
Finally, where to eat? Everybody knows
the way to a man’s heart (and woman’s!) is through the stomach and
fortunately, Sedona has many gourmet restaurants that will woo through
food. Like Fournos restaurant in West Sedona. Five-star Chef/owner Ivan
Flowers creates award-winning Mediterranean-Italian dishes. Try the
Porterhouse steak for two, with a rosemary glaze and served with lobster
pasta. Or dine on the rack of lamb with a garlic basil crust. Fournos
also has a fabulous boutique wine list and an intimate atmosphere. Want
a view? Then Shugrue’s Hillside is the place. Get there at sunset and
sip a glass of wine as the sun slips behind the Red Rocks. Not only does
Shugrue’s offer a great panoramic view, but it also has some of the best
seafood in Sedona.
So, this year plan a romantic trip to
Sedona. It will be a Valentine’s Day & vacation that one will cherish
for years to come.
