Sustainable Practices

The Boynton Canyon Preservation Fund, established nearly two decades ago by Enchantment Resort, is dedicated to preserving Boynton Canyon and its trails. A portion of the tour fee for all Trail House hike and bike tours goes directly to the Boynton Canyon Preservation Fund. In addition, Enchantment and Mii amo employees volunteer twice a year to clean up and maintain the trails.

Our team encourages resort guests to adopt the Leave No Trace principles while enjoying the Sedona trail system. Planning ahead, respecting wildlife, disposing trash properly and sticking to the marked trails using the Trail Forks app. Operating off satellite technology, guests have a safe, reliable map that tracks in real time. Allowing hikers to stay on marked trails and preserving the fragile, biological soils that make up much of the desert floor.

Water conservation serves everyone. The resort’s private onsite wastewater treatment plant supplies reclaimed water for irrigation and the landscaping team has phased out non-native plants to minimize water use and better align with the natural ecosystem.

In addition, each guestroom is equipped with water-efficient shower heads and toilets.

We are passionate about educating our guests on the importance of hydration while being active in Sedona! At an elevation of 4,500 ft., the impacts of elevation on hydration should always be taken seriously. In partnership with the non-profit organization Join the Pipe, each guest is gifted a reusable water bottle made from biodegradable sugarcane. Join the Pipe provides clean drinking water in developing countries by supporting clean-up projects, reducing plastic waste, tackling plastic pollution at the source, and providing healthier living conditions to communities in need. Our retail shops sell non-plastic bottles as a more sustainable alternative to bottled water, keeping plastics out of the environment and off the trails.

Guests are encouraged to participate in sustainability efforts by having the option to reuse towels during their stay. This practice helps reduce the overall water consumption required for laundering towels, as well as the associated energy usage and detergent consumption. By choosing to reuse towels, guests contribute to environmental conservation by minimizing the impact of frequent laundry cycles, which also helps in reducing the resort's carbon footprint.

Mii amo features skincare partners that align with Mii amo’s emphasis on connection with the natural environment. Our spa features products by BABOR and VOYA.

BABOR is a leader in professional skincare across Europe. BABOR became 100 percent Climate Neutral Certified in 2020, further elevating the brand’s sustainability focus.

VOYA is a leading global lifestyle brand which promotes sustainable organic luxury. The world’s first certified organic seaweed-based skincare brand, VOYA ethically sources ingredients and is committed towards sustainable packaging and formulation processes.

By providing larger, reusable Mii amo amenity bottles over individual disposable ones, we’re taking a significant step towards reducing our environmental footprint. This not only minimizes waste but also enhances the quality of our guest experience. These larger, refillable containers are designed to offer a more luxurious and eco-conscious alternative to single-use personal-sized bottles. By eliminating the need for numerous small plastic containers, we reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills and the ocean.

Our menus are curated intentionally to offer world-class dining experiences but also to reduce our impact on the environment. Our chefs select local and regionally sourced ingredients to not only offer the freshest, finest quality, but to also reduce the impact on transportation and gas emissions. Preference is given to suppliers that utilize the most sustainable farming practices where possible.

We are proud to partner with local producers at our restaurants to minimize our food miles. Hayden Flour Mills located in Gilbert, Arizona uses small-batch stone milling techniques which preserves flavor and nutrient density, their mission is to revive forgotten heritage grains and grow them using sustainable practices. K4 Ranch located in Prescott, Arizona represents dedication to excellence in premium beef and commitment to the responsible stewardship of all the natural resources in their care: land, water, and livestock.

We provide clean and quiet transportation around our 70-acre property with 24-hour access to battery-powered golf cart shuttles. For those traveling in electric vehicles, five charging stations are available on-site. Additionally, through our partnership with Volvo Cars, guests can enjoy complimentary test drives of two hybrid vehicles during their stay. As a benefit to our employees, the resort offers a daily shuttle to and from work to further reduce emissions.
