Or to get the best sense of Paradise Valley? The Sanctuary Resort & Spa.

Nestled into the majestic foothills of Scottsdale’s McDowell Mountains, Sereno Canyon Spa & Resort has the potential to be Scottsdale’s Enchantment Resort; Scottsdale’s Sanctuary. It is a property that offers spectacular views in every direction, the best of any resort site in a city known for its physical beauty.

The owner of the Little Nell in Aspen and the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa seeks to bring this vision to life on 350 acres it owns near the future Tom’s Thumb Trailhead. That’s a lot like Enchantment and Sanctuary, which have trails right off the site into the national forest, or trails nearby at Camelback Mountain’s Echo Canyon. The site is perhaps best known as “Sereno Canyon,” which was planned in the previous economy as a high-end, gated subdivision with 128 homes.

The result? Think of it as a private sector Desert Discovery Center…with rooms…with the finest and most dramatic spa experiences in the Valley.
