"A 31-room, all-inclusive desert retreat about an hour north of Phoenix, this adults-only property is built around three on-site hot springs (the hottest reaching about 106°F). Most accommodations are standalone bungalows or cottages, with some featuring outdoor soaking tubs, cozy fireplaces, and private patios. Guests praise the immaculate grounds, outstanding service, and terrific food; the hotel also offers a range of curated experiences such as a via ferrata–inspired climbing course, guided farm tours that supply the restaurant, archery, and sunrise yoga, creating a secluded, wellness-focused atmosphere." - Mae Hamilton Mae Hamilton Mae Hamilton is a digital editor covering hotels and lifestyle news at Travel + Leisure.

"Built around the thermal waters of Arizona’s Bradshaw Mountains, this 1,100-acre resort in the Sonoran Desert (about an hour north of Phoenix) invites couples to soak away wedding stress with all-inclusive access to its mineral-rich natural pools, daily activities like guided hikes and yoga classes, and farm-to-table meals. For those craving higher-octane experiences, the property's Via Ferrata adventure course provides a chance to bond while traversing a 200-foot-long aerial walkway suspended over the canyon." - Jordi Lippe-McGraw Jordi Lippe-McGraw Jordi Lippe-McGraw is a writer and editor covering travel, parenting, and wellness.

"Called "one of the most luxurious all-inclusive resorts in the world," by Travel + Leisure senior editor Maya Kachroo-Levine, this Sonoran Desert resort features three pools fed by the eponymous springs and uses the natural mineral water to brew its own lager. Spa treatments are offered in a collection of tents set along a creek that "lends a soundtrack to your massage, facial, or body wrap." Guided activities like axe-throwing, paddleboard yoga, hiking, and archery are included daily. With only 31 accommodations—mostly standalone bungalows with decks, fireplaces, and outdoor soaking tubs filled with hot springs water—the property keeps experiences intimate. Harvest, the on-site restaurant, offers a five-course dinner described as "well-executed fine dining and certainly several steps above what you would expect at any all-inclusive, even at the highest price point." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
