The Boulders Resort & Golden Door® Spa
Carefree - Arizona
Overview
Famous for the way it has been designed to blend into the desert environment and flanked by two championship 18-hole golf courses.
Playing a round is always on the agenda here, yet golf widows will take comfort from its pools, tennis courts and world-renowned Golden Door Spa.
Accommodation: 160 Resort Casitas and 55 Pueblo Villas
Accommodation
Southwestern-style decor defines the 160 guest casitas, with natural woods and Mexican tiles used throughout. All the casitas include a real wood-burning fireplace and private decks or patios with scenic views.
Luxuriate in the unparalleled luxury of one of the stunning and new, privately-owned Hacienda Villas. Each lavishly-decorated, three-bedroom villa features warm fireplaces, walk-in closets, and a spacious outdoor patio area for entertaining guests.
Restaurants & Bars
The colourful restaurants at Boulders serve up Southwestern flair as vibrant as its Sonoran Desert setting.
Enjoy spectacular desert views and an elegant atmosphere at Latilla, serving regional cuisine expertly prepared with fresh duck, beef, and seafood. If you're in the mood for something a little more casual, try Palo Verde - serving delectable seafood and Southwestern-inspired entrees.
Take a break from the links at Bogey's at the Boulders Club, which features traditional club dishes and commanding views of the golf course and Sonoran foothills beyond. Enjoy stunning Arizona sunsets while sipping your favorite cocktail at the Discovery Lounge, a warm, inviting retreat featuring soft jazz, a glowing fireplace, and amazing outdoor views.
Recreation
Exploring the region will give you a true taste of the lifestyle of South West America, and a desert jeep ride offers an exciting way to see it all. Make your way down desert washes and craggy roads as your expert driver regales you with the legends and lore of the desert. Alternatively, experience trail life on a cattle drive, where you'll ride the range on your own 'mount' alongside a trail boss, trail hands, and, of course, cattle.
See one of the world's most incredible natural wonders from a jaw-dropping perspective on the Grand Canyon air tour. Or soar 1,000 feet up and tour the Sonoran Desert during an exclusive hot air balloon flight.
At the resort itself, guests can enjoy the four swimming pools, tennis and an ultra-modern fitness centre.
The Golden Door Spa
Restore your body and mind at The Boulders Resort & Golden Door Spa.
This 33,000 square foot Spa offers stimulating revitalisation through the art of massage, therapeutic baths and refreshing treatments.
Before and after your treatment, unwind in the steam rooms, saunas and the O'furo, a traditional Japanese bath. Other signature elements include the meditation labyrinth, a circular tea room with vibrant desert vistas, and a heated swimming pool nestled against ancient boulders.
This luxurious Spa truly offers everything you need for soul-stirring renewal.
Golf
Test your swing on the Boulder course, a leader among Arizona golf destinations.
There are two championship-level, Jay Morrish-designed courses known for their breathtaking surroundings and sweeping panoramic views. Listed among the finest in the United States, both courses stretch across an enchanting Sonoran Desert landscape, ancient boulder formations, and sun-splashed terrain.
Schedule a late afternoon tee time amidst awesome natural beauty and finish your round as the sun melts behind the foothills beyond.
