Royal Palms Resort and Spa

Originally built as a private wellness estate, Royal Palms Resort and Spa has been a premier wellbeing destination in the greater Phoenix/Scottsdale area for over 75 years. Its secluded location at the foot of the stately Camelback Mountain has long made Royal Palms the premier boutique wellness resort for those seeking the healing powers and picturesque nature of the desert with Alvadora Spa at the core of the resort’s wellness experience. Alvadora Spa is home to eight tranquil treatment rooms that serve as a gateway to rest and relaxation for resort guests and locals alike. The spa’s innovative treatment menu offers organic therapies, massages, and other body care experiences to support the wellness of body, mind and soul, including citrus-inspired rituals that draw inspiration from the property’s longstanding orange groves and herbal-inspired, holistic treatments facilitated by the resort’s in-house herbalist for guests looking to prioritize natural healing. Highlights include the Citrus Ritual, which begins with a full body exfoliation with water gently cascading from above followed by relaxation in the spa’s garden tub and private patio area concluding with a customized massage and the indulgent Desert Sage Salt Stone massage that features warmed Himalayan pink salt stones which help to alkalize the skin, remineralize the body, and balance the mind while enchanting aromas of sage, juniper and cedar ground and purify. Beyond the spa, Royal Palms prioritizes guest wellbeing through resort programming like yoga and meditation, along with its fitness center that features Peloton bikes and poolside views.
