Accommodation
Within its setting high in the cooling foothills of the Sonoran Desert, the resort boasts stirring views of saguaro cacti and impressive rock formations by day; vermillion sunsets and star-filled skies by night. Twenty five south-western style, taupe-hued casitas blend seamlessly with the surrounding desert, the generous guest quarters featuring oversized bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs and private terraces offering desert or mountain views. Three distinct dining experiences await – poolside Saguaro Blossom for lunchtime snacks, Proof for casual food classics and Talavera, the resort’s signature contemporary American restaurant. Outstanding recreational amenities include tennis courts, a lagoon-style pool and children’s pool, a full-service spa and fitness centre and a complimentary Kids For All Seasons Camp. The celebrated 36-hole golf complex has been described as the ‘best desert course ever built’.
Scottsdale boasts more than 330 days of sunshine and little rainfall. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, offering warm, sunny days and cool nights. Winters are mild, and although summer temperatures can be high, the desert's relatively low humidity and pleasant mornings make outdoor activities inviting year-round.
