Castle Hot Springs

Nestled in the Bradshaw Mountains just 50 miles outside Phoenix, Castle Hot Springs is a luxury all-inclusive wellness sanctuary in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. At the core of the 1,100-acre property are its natural, mineral-rich hot springs, long revered for their healing properties and central to the resort’s deeply restorative spa and wellness offerings. Established in 1896 as Arizona’s first luxury wellness retreat, the historic resort has drawn generations of prominent guests, from the Vanderbilts and Wrigleys to the Roosevelts and Astors. Today, Castle Hot Springs offers 31 private bungalows and cabins, each designed for tranquility and connection to nature, alongside an immersive wellness program that blends hydrotherapy, therapeutic massage, mindful movement, and desert-inspired rituals. Among a holistic wellness program, the resort also offers a thrilling adventure program, recreational pursuits, and intentional wellness activities that allow guests to explore both the outer landscape and their inner world. As an all-inclusive, adults-only property, every detail, from the world-class dining program to daily activities, is curated for effortless rejuvenation in a secluded, tech-free environment through its “Digital Detox” philosophy. Amid this immersive escape lies a hidden gem: a world-class culinary experience that quietly rivals the finest restaurants, delighting guests with every bite. The resort’s chef-driven Flavor Farming agricultural program grows over 200 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and florals, all picked at the peak of ripeness to ensure the most nutrient-dense bounty for a unique, farm-to-table experience each season.
