Expect treatments inspired by the Sonoran landscape, from hot stone massages to desert botanical wraps. Most properties are located in the Biltmore area or near Camelback Mountain, offering easy access to hiking and golf. Budgets range from $150 to $400+ per night, depending on the season and room type.
