The Perfect Arizona Self-Care Retreat
by Yolande Morris
Arizona is famous for a few things, the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon … if you’re looking for a canyon, you will find a plethora. And, If you’re like me, you’ve probably always wanted to stay at a fancy spa in Sedona or Scottsdale. Well, that was the original plan but all of the really nice spas were booked up, given the Memorial Day weekend holiday.
So we had to do a quick pivot and started looking at AirBnBs in the Scottsdale/ Phoenix area. What we found absolutely blew our minds: a a luxury four-bedroom, 5.5 bathroom house located in a gated community in Ahwatukee, a suburban community near Phoenix. This house boasts 5,000 square feet of beautiful indoor space, plus outdoor decks and covered patios with endless views of the sunsets and city below. The soaring 18 ft ceilings w/ floor to ceiling windows showcase dramatic views & natural light, french doors and spacious chef's kitchen, with custom pantry as well as butler's pantry, wet bar, wine fridge & wine storage room. Additional amenities include an infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and massage room. It was the perfect oasis in the desert and provided us with the rest and relaxation that we needed after driving more than 10 hours over two and a half days.
We were even able to hire a private masseur, Angel, who works in the area and gave us all 90 minute aromatherapy messages that melted away all of the stress and anxiety of the last few minutes.
