We all need a break from the daily grind every now and then, and Arizona's Spa at the Boulders offers just that. Coincidentally nestled in the town of Carefree, just outside of Scottsdale, this desert oasis is a luxurious retreat for the senses.
Nestled amid ancient rock formations, the Spa at the Boulders is the ultimate oasis in the desert.
The 33,000-square-foot facility offers an escape from the daily grind and the chance to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.
From a traditional Japanese bath to stimulating massage techniques, the spa combines Eastern and Western healing modalities to promote detoxification and an overall sense of well-being.
State-of-the-art beauty treatments, including facials using ingredients gathered from the surrounding desert environment, are also available.
Still wearing your robe, head outside for a meditative stroll through the spa's signature labyrinth.
It's hard not to find inner peace as you make your way around the concentric rings and slip into a state of utter transcendence.
There's even an outdoor area, known as the Sun Suite, with a roaring fireplace, private whirlpool, and steam shower.
Is there anything more relaxing than letting yourself be pampered while you breathe in the fresh valley air?
If you're the adventurous type, consider taking a guided hike, mountain bike ride, or even a rock climb!
The spa has a 2,000-square-foot fitness center, as well, so there are countless ways to work up a sweat - both conventional and otherwise.
A dip in the heated swimming pool, which features 12-million-year-old boulders on all sides, is sure to melt your stress away.
Immerse yourself in the water, or recline on a lounge chair with a good book. Either way, you're in for a life-changing experience.
