Upon arrival, guests will have to hand over their cars to a valet driver. Staff will then shuttle them via electric vehicle to the two-story lobby building to check in and enjoy a complimentary cocktail before receiving a tour of the property.

Ambiente is located between Uptown Sedona and West Sedona, about a 5-minute drive from each.

Amenities emphasize wellness. Guests can relax in a lagoon-inspired pool, order a locally sourced juice at the poolside lounge, book a treatment at the two-story spa, or stroll along 'wellness trails' that weave through the three-acre property.

After a day of exploring, guests can unwind with yoga on the main rooftop or cozy up by the fireplace and stargaze through a telescope.

The International Dark Sky Association, a US-based non-profit, has recognized Sedona as one of just 21 communities in the US where the sky is dark enough to clearly see the stars.

"We designed the atriums with the goal of providing an atmosphere of tranquility and rest," May said in a statement.
