The 70-acre Enchantment Resort, set in Boynton Canyon and noted for combining the rugged grandeur of the Southwest landscape with equal parts luxury and Native American culture, is designed to honor this special setting and evoke the ancient cliff dwellings that were once home to the canyon’s indigenous people. A centrally located clubhouse contains restaurants, a gift shop and concierge desk, and a rooftop deck provides an ideal vantage point for viewing the countless stars in Arizona’s clear night sky. To pay tribute to the area’s rich heritage of Native American culture, a thoughtful and diverse program of guest experiences take place at the resort. Guests may explore drumming, dance and musical performances, storytelling, talking circles, arts and crafts demonstrations, guided medicine walks and more. In addition, the resort offers a wealth of outdoor recreation, including hiking, mountain biking, tennis, swimming, pitch ‘n putt golf, championship croquet and bocce ball.
