TOP STORIES

From wizened cacti etching a stunning silhouette against the desert sun to lush golf courses dotting the landscape, Scottsdale, Arizona, is famous for its breathtaking vistas and luxury resorts. Just 10 minutes away from the “West’s Most Western City,” in the town of Paradise Valley, lies one such gem nestled at the foot of Camelback Mountain, the aptly named Mountain Shadows Resort.

Making its debut in 2017, the boutique resort boasts an 18-hole par-3 golf course, a restaurant (Hearth ’61, named in honor of the year Paradise Valley became a town), two pools, a fitness center—featuring everything from aerial yoga to Pilates classes—and much more. In a unique position to marry high culture with rugged Wild West adventure, Mountain Shadows also offers diverse attractions ranging from a new art gallery to hikes of Camelback Mountain.

Or, if you simply want to relax this fall, consider signing up for a soothing sound bath session or unwinding with Hearth ’61’s new mocktail menu. One thing’s for sure, whichever way you define “desert oasis,” Mountain Shadows has you covered.
