Scottsdale Arizona

cottsdale, Arizona has some of the world’s
most luxurious resort spas in the world. No
one is certain why the area has so many
award-winning spas. Perhaps it’s the natural

Arizona skies or wisdom of Native Americans who
call the Southwest home. Whatever the reason,

using ingredients of the desert’s rich bounty—adobe
clay to purify the skin, agave to soothe dry skin,
jojoba oil to heal, prickly pear to moisturize and
creosote to cleanse. Here are some of the most
luxurious resort spas in Scottsdale.
