Day 1: Phoenix spa day

• Rejuvenate after your travels with a day at one of Phoenix’s premier destination spas, such as the Alvadora Spa or the Well & Being Spa.

• Let the elements of the desert heal and rejuvenate with a spa treatment inspired by the local landscape.

Day 2: Retail therapy

• Stroll beneath the palms in a sprawling shopper’s paradise at Biltmore Fashion Park or Kierland Commons, and splurge on couture at Scottsdale Fashion Square.

• Take home a thoughtful gift from a local boutique such as Melrose Vintage, MADE Art Boutique, downtown’s Bunky Boutique or one of these other shops selling local goods.

Day 3: Wine tours, scotch tastings, craft beer

• Tour and taste your way through Arizona’s wineries on a short day trip from Phoenix.

• If you’re not a fan of reds and whites, browse the shelves of Westin Kierland’s extensive Scotch Library, or hop on a ride with Arizona Brewery Tours to explore Phoenix's craft beer scene.

Day 4: A day by the pool and fine dining

• Don’t leave America’s sunniest metropolis without spending a little time poolside. From serene settings to wild water parks, we've got a resort pool to fit your style.

• Cap your getaway with fine fare just steps away from your pool chair at Phoenix resort restaurants such as Prado Restaurant and Mbar at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia and elements at Sanctuary Resort.
