MII AMO WINS 2009 "BEST THERAPISTS" AWARD
FROM TATLER MAGAZINE

Sedona's Mii amo is Haven for Best Spa Therapists in the World

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (May 20, 2009) -- Enchantment Group announced today Tatler, one of Britain's oldest and most prestigious magazines, named Mii amo, a destination spa at Enchantment, as having the best therapists in the world at its third annual spa awards ceremony. The award was presented in London at The Dorchester, Park Lane on May 5th by Melinda Stevens, Tatler's travel editor.

Since opening eight years ago as the first destination spa within a world class resort, Mii amo has attracted highly trained and gifted spa therapists who are drawn to Boynton Canyon's sacred energy and the spiritual nature of Sedona. Mii amo was also the first spa to offer full 60- and 90-minute treatments; additional time was built into the appointment to allow for pre- and post-treatment interaction between guest and therapist.

"Each Mii amo therapist brings unique qualities to the spa, and we are able to support and nurture our spa staff in order for them to thrive in Mii amo's healing environment," said Mark Grenoble, president of Enchantment Group, Mii amo's management company. "Our guests continually tell us how their lives have been transformed during their Journey. You find what you are looking for at Mii amo, and our therapists are the key factor in positively affecting our guests' lives."

Tatler, a stylish and indispensable guide to Britain's high society since 1901, visits over 100 spas in the world to find the winners of their five annual awards. Categories include Spa of the Year, Smartest Escape, Most Exciting Discovery, Hardcore Turnaround and Best Therapists.

Mii amo, a Yuman word for "passage" or "journey," promotes personal transformation through mind, body and spiritual therapies, which range from Ayurvedic Balance to Watsu. The 24,000-square-foot spa in Sedona, Arizona, designed by Gluckman Mayner Architects, harmonizes with the Native American aesthetic and the surrounding red rock canyon, which are both integral to the Mii amo experience. The intimate Mii amo spa village, which offers 3-, 4- and 7-night all-inclusive packages, features 14 guest rooms and two suites; 25 treatment areas, many with views of Boynton Canyon; private outdoor treatment areas; indoor and outdoor pools; library; retail boutique and Mii amo cafe.
