Scottsdale,
Arizona
Pamper yourself at one of these brand-new spas
From the April 22, 2002 Issue of New York
Three
state-of-the-art spas have opened in Scottsdale, Arizona, in the past
year. Check into any one of them, and you'll never want to leave.
The 1,300-acre Boulders resort recently added the huge Golden Door
Spa to its hillside complex of 160 casitas and six restaurants.
The house specialty is Native American�inspired treatments like Raindrop
Therapy (essential oils applied in drip-drop fashion along the spine)
and a Turquoise Wrap (slathering the body with ionized turquoise clay).
. . . Sanctuary's 98 casitas are spread along Camelback Mountain,
with stunning views of Paradise Valley below. The new spa offers Asian-inspired
water-based treatments. Try the Thai foot massage or Sumatra Coconut
body polish. . . . Rather supersize? Check out Willow Stream, the
new spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Think big: 650 rooms,
golf course, tennis center. And a 44,000-square-foot spa featuring
25 treatment rooms (many with private patios), separate spas for men
and women, and a rooftop pool.
