"Set on 53 acres of manicured Sonoran desert at the base of an iconic peak, this wellness-minded resort offers casitas, suites, and private mountain villas—many with fireplaces, firepits, or outdoor bathtubs—making it a warm winter refuge when desert nights grow cool. Evening life gravitates to fire-warmed patios and bars serving creative, seasonal cocktails, while an Asian-inspired spa hidden behind a Zen garden and reflecting ponds provides plush robes and restorative treatments. The property blends desert views and spa-focused pampering with outdoor options like poolside relaxation and scenic lookout points." - Nicholas DeRenzo
