Smart Splurge
Scottsdale and neighboring Phoenix are all about relaxation and, consequently,
upscale resort spas. This elegant resort wraps its guests in desert beauty,
making it an alternative to the more urban Phoenician.

Desert Spa Bliss
Situated on 53 acres on Camelback Mountain, 98 quaint casitas provide swanky, spacious quarters designed to blend with their desert environment. There's also a mountain-side infinity-edge pool and an exceptional, Asian-inspired spa that comes complete with Zen meditation garden and indoor and outdoor treatment rooms - even if you don't spend the night at the resort, don't leave Phoenix without trying the popular Watsu water massage.

Amazing location with verrrry hip atmosphere. The bar is dead by 10pm but if you can score a seat on the hillside deck and linger after dinner there is no place you would rather be.
I'd been going to John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch for a while. The new Sanctuary (over-hauled, at the same location) is a major step up.
