Visitors make their treks to Arizona to see the refreshing scenery. One popular activity however, makes the sunshine state a more favorite place of solitude and relaxation, abounding in historic health
resorts that offer complete wellness packages to invigorate the mind and body. They are spread around mostly in Tucson, Scottsdale and
Phoenix. Arizona boasts some award-winning spas and resorts. You can plan your relaxing
vacations with any of these wonderful destination spas.
Canyon Ranch in Tucson
One of the most talked-about wellness programs in Arizona comes from Canyon Ranch. Located in the Sonoran desert, this retreat offers more than 50 fitness classes. It is a huge complex at the foothills of Santa Catalina Mountain and has a dedicated staff for a more personalized treatment. Booking a week's worth of lifestyle-improvement packages would definitely leave you walking and breathing in a state of bliss. The spa cuisine is also much raved about at Canyon Ranch, and features innovative health twists in the menu.
Miraval Experience
Also blessed with the Santa Catalina Mountain as backdrop, Miraval Spa is a haven for spiritual and physical wellness. From head to toe, you are guided through nutrition and fitness classes and pampered with different relaxation disciplines. The swimming pools are also part of Miraval's main attractions with several of them to cater to your needs. You can also play golf at the nearby greens.
Mii Amo in Sedona
The mystic red rock canyons of Sedona have given their unique aura to Mii Amo Spa. The spectacular location is what keeps guests booking for the 3- to 7-night wellness packages. Hiking and trekking to the canyons are part of the fitness programs. Aside from the red canyons, important archaeological sites of Southwest America surround you. Again, the excellent food is a source of pride for the owners of Mii Amo. As its main principle goes, Mii Amo is a center for healing and inspiration.
Best Time to Go
Although Arizona experiences year-round sunshine bliss, there are seasons in which you can enjoy your trip the most. Autumn is a good time to go to Arizona with climates changing to better, cooler temperatures. If you want to see local festivals, drop by during spring. The Grand Canyon is best seen in spring and fall. Visitors also tend to spend winter in Arizona as cold days are rare and sunshine is abundant. It's best to avoid summer in Arizona as it is blisteringly hot.
