Canyon Ranch Details

Location

Situated on more than 150 acres in the iconic Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona, Canyon Ranch was once the heart of a large, working cattle ranch, then from the '30s through to the '70s, it became a rustic guest ranch before opening as the first destination health resort and spa in Arizona in 1979. With year-round sunshine, clear desert air and immediate access to nearby canyons and to the towering Santa Catalina Mountains, plus incredible facilities, Canyon Ranch is a great choice whatever month of the year. Its ranch-style warmth is just as you would expect from an 11-time winner of the Conde Nast Traveler magazine Best Destination Spa Award, catering to the most discerning of travellers.

Transfer Time - 40 mins from Tucson International Airport (32km) and approx. 2 hours from Phoenix International Airport

Offering stunning mountain views, Canyon Ranch in Tucson is a serene haven where you can relax and reflect. Spacious and comfortable rooms include original art and decor inspired by the colours of the Southwest.

The dining experience at Canyon Ranch is as thoughtfully designed as the food itself, with a wealth of healthy choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All meals, with as many courses and helpings as you like, are included in your stay. In fact, on their menus, you'll find nutritional information in place of prices. Healthy snacks are always available. They have three restaurants to tempt your taste buds:

Insider Tips

• The dress code is comfortable and casual, but don't forget a pair of walking boots if you plan to hike, plus at any time of the year, warm layers are a must for the evenings, when desert temperatures cool considerably.
• Join a Ranch Savvy Breakfast on your first morning, offered daily at 8.15am in the Double U Cafe, for a great introduction to Canyon Ranch.

Wellness Approach

• An unsurpassed depth of holistic, integrative medical care that offers opportunities to establish and practice healthy habits for life. The Canyon Ranch approach to medicine is an innovative model of thoughtful, comprehensive preventive care that integrates the most effective Western and non-Western practices.

Freestyle Spa

• Spa services are designed to relax your body, calm your mind and renew your spirit. Inspired by traditional and modern therapies from around the globe, from neuromuscular therapy to Ayurvedic body rituals, Canyon Ranch truly has it all.

Signature Treatment

Canyon Stone Massage - Smooth, rounded basalt stones are heated in water and used by the therapist as extensions of his or her hands. The weight and radiant heat of the stones combined with a calming essential oil penetrates muscle tissue, inducing deep relaxation without overheating.

We Love

• The Detoxifying Ritual - Retreat into a ritual of heat and pure scent for an intense therapeutic transformation based on the skin care practices of the traditional hammam bathhouse. In five steps, you will be intensely cleansed with Moroccan mint tea and salt, and vigorously scrubbed with coffee, olive stones and fresh lemons. Then you'll be wrapped in rich rhassoul clay to draw deep impurities out of the body.  You'll recharge with quince and orange blossoms and then have all this delicious goodness sealed in with the warmth of curative essences of cardamom, jasmine, bergamot, amber and clove.
• The fact that Canyon Ranch is a no-tipping resort, which keeps our stays as relaxed as possible.

Return on Investment

A healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.
