Arcosanti
We were able to stay overnight last summer at an amazing community called Arcosanti in Arizona. Conceived by visionary architect Paolo Soleri, this urban laboratory stands as a testament to a harmonious coexistence between humanity and the environment. A striking fusion of futuristic design and ancient wisdom, Arcosanti is a city in progress, where vaulted arches and spiraling towers rise against the dramatic desert backdrop. The community's commitment to ecological consciousness is reflected in its passive solar architecture, wind turbines, and waste recycling systems.
We stayed overnight in one of the lodge rooms below that had an amazing window view for sunrise. The activities here are all outdoors and self guided, hike and explore the surroundings, or learn about the bells made on site. I would definitely recommend splurging for the sky suite if it’s available, the photo from outside didn’t do it justice. It was a great way to reset mentally without much distractions from technology.
