The Best Spas in Scottsdale

Scottsdale is a spa town — the desert, the water, the quiet. Here are the ones worth planning a day around.

The resort giants

Well & Being at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess — 44,000 square feet, hydrotherapy circuit, Watsu pool. The all-day pass is the move.

Joya Spa at Omni Montelucia — Moroccan-inspired, hilltop, the most beautiful spa building in Arizona.

Aji Spa at Sheraton Wild Horse Pass — Native-inspired treatments, the Kai Massage is the signature.

The Spa at Four Seasons Troon North — small, quiet, and the outdoor treatment rooms look out at Pinnacle Peak.

The quiet favorites

Alvadora Spa at Royal Palms — Mediterranean-inspired, intimate, in one of the prettiest properties in the valley.

The Spa at Andaz Scottsdale — architectural, adults-only feel, perfect couples' half-day.

Sanctuary Spa at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain — Asian-inspired, treatments in casitas overlooking the mountain.

The Spa at Mountain Shadows — modern, clean, and the day pass is one of the best values in town.

How to think about booking

Book the earliest slot of the day; you'll get the quietest facilities.

For couples: The Spa at Andaz or Sanctuary. For a group: Well & Being or Joya.

Always book the treatment plus a facility pass — the pools, saunas, and steam rooms are half the experience.
