Castle Hot Springs

Set within Arizona’s Bradshaw Mountains, just 50 miles north of Phoenix, Castle Hot Springs is a historic, adults-only desert oasis redefining modern wellness through a deeply place-driven lens. Established in 1896 as Arizona’s first luxury wellness retreat, the 1,100-acre resort seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary refinement across 31 standalone bungalows and cabins. In 2026, the property enters a new chapter as a member of Relais & Châteaux, joining a global collection devoted to art de vivre, culinary excellence, and cultural preservation. At its core, mineral-rich hot springs feed three restorative pools, anchoring a holistic approach to well-being. The resort’s celebrated “Flavor Farming” program cultivates more than 300 varieties of produce on-site, shaping a hyper-seasonal culinary experience led by Executive Chef Chris Knouse. Paired with immersive desert adventures and a newly expanded wellness framework, Castle Hot Springs offers a rare balance of restoration, discovery, and elevated simplicity.
