Premiere luxury resort L’Auberge de Sedona unveils its “Home for the Holidays” package to complement the resort’s seasonal celebrations. Guests are invited to enjoy Arizona’s striking natural scenery — from Oak Creek to the Red Rocks — while taking part in festive offerings and curated experiences.
The Creekside and Garden Cottages will be transformed into cozy winter retreats. Arriving guests are greeted with hot cocoa from a specialty chocolatier. Cottages will feature holiday throws and pillows, soft flannel sheets, two stockings hung over the fireplace, fresh wreaths on the front doors, and a decorated tree with twinkling lights. Each cottage will also receive a plate of freshly baked cookies prepared by the resort’s pastry chef.
L’Auberge de Sedona continues its annual holiday tradition with a Tree Lighting Ceremony on Dec. 5 from 5–7 p.m. The evening includes live music, light bites and seasonal beverages, offering a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for guests. For further relaxation, the resort’s L’Apothecary Spa offers a seasonal Chocolate Decadence treatment beginning Dec. 2. This 90-minute ritual combines a scrub infused with holiday scents such as peppermint, grapefruit, cassia and ylang-ylang, followed by a nourishing wrap and massage. Treatments take place in rooms scented with fir and dwarf pine to evoke the season and the property’s natural surroundings.
