Relax & Recharge

Lounging by the pool is a tradition this time of year, and Arizona’s resorts boast some of the best. Plus, many spas in the state take wellness to the next level.

Arizona spas are some of the best in the world, lauded by publications such as Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and Zagat—and not just for their deep-tissue massages. Many local spas offer wellness classes, innovative exercise programs, and, yes, deep-tissue massages. And let's not forget the spas that make good use of local ingredients and American Indian traditions.

In a state with so much sun, we've mastered the art of lounging by the pool, and Arizona's resorts boast some of the best. Relax poolside in the shadow of mountains or rooftop on a floating pillow.

When you're fully recharged, browse Arizona's shopping malls, districts and boutiques, for clothing and accessories to complement the new you.
