L’Apothecary Spa is surrounded a beautiful natural setting with lush forest and the sound of rolling waters. The destination offers both traditional services and unique services inspired by the Sedona’s magical environment. We interviewed Joy Gosser, Spa Director at L’Auberge de Sedona to get all the details you need to know to get the most out of a visit to L’Apothecary Spa. 

L’Apothecary Spa Lobby

Why you’ll love it: At L’Apothecary Spa, guests will encounter an immersive blending station, nourishing spa treatments, and a retail selection of spa products geared toward natural rejuvenation. The spa’s stunning, natural surroundings effortlessly provide guests with a renewed sense of balance and enlightenment before, during and post-treatment.

Key features: Guests of L’Apothecary Spa are welcomed into an apothecary lobby where they can blend custom scrubs and soaks or essential oil perfumes before or after a treatment. Visitors are then guided into the relaxation area with the option to stay inside or experience the Sedona seasons with an alfresco herb garden. Following a treatment in one of the spa’s four interior treatment rooms or within the creekside cabana, propped above the banks of Oak Creek, guests are invited to browse the large retail area with recommended items used throughout treatments, as well as thoughtful gifts.

Insider’s tip: First, Paths of Possibility is a collection of treatments thoughtfully combined to give guests a signature treatment and a one-of-a-kind guided experience curated by the underlying reason for visiting L’Apothecary Spa. Additionally, an annual offering is the creekside spa experience in which guests can enjoy their spa treatment in an outside cabana with an undisturbed view of Oak Creek and the soothing sounds – enhancing each treatment. Lastly, guests are served chocolate champagne truffles after their session.

Unique treatment: A unique and all-time favorite treatment from L’Apothecary Spa is the Turquoise and Sage Hydration Body Treatment. This 90-minute nature-inspired treatment is designed to ground and restore energy with the Earth’s healing treasures of wild sage, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary.

The session begins with a dry brush exfoliation to stimulate circulation and prepare the skin for an application of conditioning sage and turquoise stone-infused body butter. Feet and hands are then exfoliated with herbal salts followed by warm sage butter application to replenish and moisturize. Guests will emerge from a deep rest feeling restored, pampered, and hydrated and can enjoy a glass of Rose Kombucha and an Arizona-inspired truffle and receive a handmade turquoise bracelet infused with sage to remember their visit to L’Apothecary Spa.
