SHOPPING

Crystal Magic

This is my go-to place for crystals. It’s truly magical and the perfect spot for picking up a clear quartz crystal as a souvenir.

WELLNESS

Mii amo Spa

The Mii amo Spa at Enchantment Resort is deeply relaxing and filled with opportunities to take advantage of the beauty – with options like the Ancestral Stone Massage and Chakra Balancing.

My favorites: Try a lymphatic drainage massage or dive into the energy healing offerings. I also love participating in meditation classes in their crystal grotto.
