Arizona’s widely celebrated 1,100-acre luxury oasis, Castle Hot Springs, has reopened within the Bradshaw Mountains and Sonoran Desert. The award-winning hidden desert destination (and favorite of the Cabots, Vanderbilts, Wrigleys, Roosevelts, and Astors) is inspired by the region’s natural elements and mineral-rich hot springs. The luxurious all-inclusive resort – which has a mission of showcasing that the truest luxury in life is connection with nature and well-being – has also unveiled uniquely curated immersive experiences that allow its guests to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the everyday and experience next-level natural wonder.
To coincide with its reopening, Castle Hot Springs has welcomed its fall/winter 2024/2025 programming, retreats, and experiences. “As we emerge from the summer and unveil our refreshed programming, we are thrilled to blend tradition with innovation, providing guests a chance to indulge in relaxation and rejuvenate their senses while deepening their connection to the resort’s rich history and unbeatable natural beauty,” says Kevin Maguire, general manager of Castle Hot Springs, in a press release. “At Castle Hot Springs, our dedication to delivering an unparalleled guest experience drives us to enhance our offerings each season with a range of thoughtfully curated activities and experiences that speak directly to our treasured desert location and incredible natural resources. As we reopen our doors this fall, we invite guests – both new and returning – to create lasting memories through authentic adventures, luxurious relaxation, and holistic well-being, all set against the backdrop of the stunning Arizona landscape.”
Among its wide array of unique fall and winter experiences, guests of the Arizona property can enjoy the following:

Indulge in Serenity with a New Spa Cabana: Taking connection with nature to a whole new level (and available for both individuals and couples), the brand-new treatment cabana enhances the array of the resort’s well-being offerings, comprising massages, facials, and water therapies inspired by the desert’s natural beauty. This expansion reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment to elevate its treatment menu, providing guests personalized spa experiences that restore the mind, body, and spirit.
