Sedona is full of cute boutique hotels, fun airbnb’s and luxury resorts. If you’re looking to do a budget weekend trip to Sedona or you’re ready to go all out, we’ve provided some of the best options.

5 Pro Tips to Consider when Preparing for your Sedona Getaway
Time of year matters but it’s still beautiful year around. We’ve seen Sedona in October which was absolutely beautiful but many sites suggest March – May is the best to visit. You can visit at any time but March – May will provide optimal temperatures.
- Prepare for everything! If you’re hiking in a new area of trying out a new spa service, make sure to always bring tons of water with you. Sedona can get very hot and it’s always best to be prepared.
- Try to book reservations for restaurants ahead. In peak seasons, it can be very difficult to get a reservation the night of.
- Book your stay in advance! If it’s an Airbnb or a hotel, you’ll get prime pricing when you give yourself a few months.
- Keep an open mind! Sedona is a place where many embrace their true selves. Be open to trying new things. Something like a UFO tour may change your perspective on things.
