Spas in Sedona

Question

Hi, will be going to Arizona in April and spending a few days in Sedona hiking and site seeing and want to get massage on our last day. Will not be staying a spa resort. Any recommendations. Not looking to break the bank just relax for an hour. Thx

Answer

Sedona has a huge range of massage options, from luxury spas inside resorts to smaller local studios that offer excellent therapists without the high resort prices. Since you’re not staying at a spa resort and you just want a relaxing, affordable one-hour massage, you’ll find plenty of great choices that won’t break the bank. Below are the best non-resort options, what they’re known for, and tips for booking in April (a busy month in Sedona).

Here are some well-priced, well-reviewed massage options that locals and travelers consistently recommend:

Sedona New Day Spa – One of Sedona’s best known day spas with a full menu of massages. It’s not the cheapest in town, but still much more affordable than resort spas. Their 60-minute massages are reliable, relaxing, and they have a peaceful courtyard area to unwind before/after.
A Spa For You – A small, highly rated, personalized massage studio. They offer customized massages and focus on relaxation rather than fancy facilities. Their therapists get especially strong reviews for relieving soreness after hiking.
Sedona Body & Soul – A warm, intimate studio located near Uptown. Their prices are moderate, and they’re known for very experienced therapists, great for couples’ massages or individual sessions after long hiking days.
Nirvana Healing Center – Offers therapeutic and relaxation massages at good prices. Not a big “spa environment,” but excellent for a no-frills but truly relaxing massage.
Stillpoint Massage & Bodywork – A quiet local spot with highly skilled therapists and reasonable rates. Particularly good if you want a calming, low-key place without the resort markup.
Sedona Massage & Yoga – Good for straightforward, affordable massages with flexible scheduling. Great option if you just want a soothing 60-minute session to loosen up after hiking.

General tips for booking in April (peak season):

Book ahead – April is one of Sedona’s busiest months, especially for people wanting massages after hiking. Booking 1–2 weeks ahead is ideal.
Early afternoon is best – A mid-day or early-afternoon massage on your last day works perfectly, especially if you’re sore from hiking Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, or Soldier Pass.
Ask about add-ons – Sedona spas often offer affordable enhancements like aromatherapy, hot stones, or CBD oil for $10–$25 extra if you want a more soothing experience without upgrading to an expensive package.
Check parking – Some Uptown spas have limited parking; studios in West Sedona or Village of Oak Creek usually have plenty of space and slightly lower prices.

If you want the absolute best value (quality + price), the top three options for a simple, relaxing, non-resort massage are:
