Nestled by dramatic Sonoran Desert boulders, this upscale Scottsdale resort blends rustic adobe casitas with luxe golf, spa, pools, and scenic nature trails.
"This resort feels like a desert oasis with giant rock formations, a gorgeous golf course, and pretty nature trails. It offers a variety of accommodations, from one- to three-bedroom homes to standard Adobe casitas. Families and couples can find plenty to do, including nature walks, mountain climbing, and hot air balloon rides. The resort has four pools, five on-site restaurants, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, and a shuttle service." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Twelve million years ago, at the edge of the Sonoran Desert, its iconic rocks were forming. Sometime after that a hotel was named in their honor. Today the resort is built around that spectacular view. When you can tear your glance away, rustic-elegant casitas with wood-burning fireplaces beckon, as do the award-wining golf courses."
"Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale Nature may have spent 12 million years creating the rock formation that is the centerpiece of this 1,300-acre Hilton Curio Collection resort in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert, but late-coming humans have done a commendable job of adding the finishing touches. Although the Boulders, with its casita accommodations blending into the landscape, its championship golf courses, and its upscale shops, is as luxurious as any resort in the Scottsdale area, it’s also where guests are most likely to feel they are truly in the desert. An early-morning walk along groomed paths, when the first rays of light are turning the landscape golden, is as likely to produce the sounds of woodpeckers or owls calling from their nests in saguaro cacti as it is the whack of a ball against club or racket."
