The Best Wellness Retreats in the US (includes Arizona desert)

As health, both physical and mental, continues to be more and more of a priority, hotels are adapting their offering to cater to the modern traveler. However, while you’ll find a well-equipped gym and a relaxing spa at virtually all luxury properties, some destinations go above and beyond in their offering, with fully dedicated wellness retreats.

Tucked away in the remote Arizona desert, Castle Hot Springs is a lush oasis for those hoping to switch-off and relax. Luxurious accommodation combined with a whole host of immersive activities and treatments promises to leave you feeling rejuvenated and replenished.

Castle Hot Springs guests have the luxury of filling their day however they please, whether they want to engage in demanding physical exercises, lounge by the pool or learn more about the surrounding area and its history. Alternatively, those looking for a more structured itinerary may opt for the Refresh, Reset, Rejuvenate Wellness Retreat. This all-inclusive program encourages participants to recharge via a combination of movement, conversation and action-orientated experiences.

Of course, the exclusive hot springs are the shining star of this luxury wellness resort, with guests enjoying the unique opportunity to take a dip in the natural rock pools that have lent their healing properties to travelers for centuries. The resort itself is built around the pools, with their warmth being used to heat the main swimming pool, and their waters directly pumped to the private in-room soak tubs.
