When it comes to wellbeing escapes, one of the destinations that surprises people a lot is. Scottsdale. Who would have thought a desert destination would have such a wide array of spas and rejuvenating experiences? If you’re heading here this year, either for a wellbeing break, to explore the city, or if you’ve booked to stay at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn, you need to visit their newly transformed spa. Here’s why.
Following a $25m renovation, JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn’s iconic Spa reopened its doors to wellness-lovers earlier this month. Cementing Scottsdale’s status as one of the most sought-after spa destinations worldwide, the brand-new self-care playground is a rejuvenating haven.
Since opening in 1989 as one of Marriott’s first full-service resort spas, The Spa at Camelback Inn has been a cornerstone of the hotel’s identity. As the sanctuary enters a new era, it seeks to create pathways to lasting well-being, blending the natural rhythms of the Sonoran Desert with the ariVéa holistic philosophy.
New Design Elements
Rooted in a design reflective of the earth’s elements, the 32,000-square-foot Spa was re-envisioned through a lens of natural materials, celebrative of the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert. From pillowed French limestone adorning the lobby, to linen-like textiles and natural cacti sculptures dotted around, the spa’s indoor spaces are an extension of the calming desert’s presence.
A New Ritual of Movement, Stillness, and Water
The reimagined spa experience centres on cycles of heat, cold, breath, and rest. Inside, a Wellness Circuit provides a Himalayan salt sauna, aromatherapy steam cavern and limestone infrared loungers; whilst a co-ed relaxation space named The Sanctuary encourages quiet contemplation – accompanied by uninterrupted views of Camelback Mountain. Elsewhere, The Stillness Lounge introduces deeper levels of sensory restoration with Mind-Sync HarmonicWellness Loungers. Lastly, the Wellness Waters offers a trio of tranquil hydrotherapies at the main, salt and cold plunge pools.
Treatment Menu Highlights
The Spa at Camelback Inn’s refreshed treatment menu follows four “Pathways to Well-Being,” each aligned with the ariVéa philosophy. Detox harnesses the Sonoran Desert’s natural elements for purifying rituals, whilst Soothe supports nervous-system recovery with signature treatments including Lipid Body Renewal. Harmonise balances the body with sessions including the Bindi Body Balancing treatment, incorporative of ancient herbs and oils; and Restore invigorates through facials, stretching, and meditative experiences for a refreshingly radiant glow.
Ora Café: Nourish With Intention
Debuting as the spa’s culinary centrepiece, Ora Café offers mindful plates crafted with guidance from a licensed nutritionist. In alignment with the Spa’s “Pathways”, the menu navigates guests towards dishes aligned with their chosen intention – Detox, Soothe, Harmonise, or Restore – extending the benefits of the spa journey into the culinary experience. The vibrant dishes also spotlight ingredients grown on-site, in the brand’s signature JW Garden.
