Bringing new life into the world is simultaneously one of the most exciting moments imaginable, while also being one of the biggest transitions you’ll ever go through. And in preparing for the beautiful chaos that a new baby brings, it’s essential to take some time to connect with your partner and relax before your world changes forever. A babymoon in Arizona, backdropped by the unbeatable scenic beauty of the Sedona red rock landscape, provides a peaceful getaway for true connection.

Imagine waking up to the panoramic views of the sunrise over the Coconino National Forest, framed by floor-to-ceiling bronzed glass windows, tucked into organic Italian linen bedding with plush pillows squished in just the right arrangement to support your baby bump. A soft trickle from the ancient waterways that flow nearby provide a soundtrack to accompany the desert birdsong. Your private free-standing Atrium, perched above the natural landscape, awaits at Ambiente® Sedona for a babymoon stay. An adults-only resort, Ambiente offers the ideal setting for soon-to-be parents to focus on their relationship. Extended stays, especially during the week, will offer maximum privacy.

For the partner carrying the baby, their second trimester is the recommended timeframe for when to take a babymoon. And an unbeatable time to visit Sedona is during the spring or the fall, where mild, temperately warm weather abounds. Clear skies help to highlight the blooming wildflowers that cover the hills and valleys with brilliant shades of purple, yellow, and orange. The fresh, crisp air creates a sense of renewal and, partnered by the spiritual energy from the famous vortex sites, blankets the meditative atmosphere of the area. There’s no better place (or time) to escape to before welcoming your bundle of joy to the world.

Taking care of yourself during pregnancy is a top priority, and Ambiente’s on-site spa treatments at Velvet Spa cater to expectant mothers. From gentle prenatal massages to soothing foot soaks, our Mama-to-Be specialty menu of prenatal massages is designed to safely take care of the physical and emotional needs of carrying mothers during their incredible journey. A rejuvenating morning at the spa is the perfect way to unwind and pamper yourself before the demands of parenthood begin. Plus, the peaceful ambiance will make you feel like you’re floating on air. Velvet Spa also offers expectant mothers and their partners the chance to enjoy revitalizing spa treatments together in one of our private couples’ suites.

A babymoon is a time to focus on each other—just the two of you. Following a relaxing day at the spa, enjoy both privacy and intimacy in abundance. Ambiente’s boutique style gives you and your partner the space to focus on your relationship without distractions. Spend time reconnecting over a quiet dinner, enjoy a peaceful evening by your private rooftop firepit, and bask in the vastness of the universe with late night stargazing. Universal Access Tours offers private sessions with professional astronomers to guide you on an amazing tour of the stars, clusters, and nebulae of our home galaxy using an array of custom telescopes on top of your Atrium.

Use your uninterrupted time to make a parent game plan and really think about your intentions for all the things to come. The tranquil desert environment can help keep serious conversations with your partner light and easy. Take a gentle walk along the Adobe Jack Trail, just steps from the property’s backyard, to encourage conversation with your partner. Or, enjoy the serenity of the Red Rock formation views while walking in a companionable silence. 

If you’re searching for an Arizona resort for couples that will facilitate connection and relaxation during a babymoon, look no further. Take a breath, let go of the stresses of everyday life, and savor this precious time together at Ambiente–because you deserve it.
