The Spa at Camelback Inn, which JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa opened to the public after completing its $25 million renovation project, which transformed the spa into one of Arizona’s most famous wellness centres. The spa’s new design brings forth the Sonoran Desert atmosphere through its luxurious elements, which combine with natural elements and its complete wellness offerings. The spa provides rejuvenation through natural healing methods which follow the ariVéa philosophy to help guests connect with their inner selves and the desert landscape.
A Holistic Sanctuary Embracing Desert Wellness
The reimagined spa is designed as a holistic sanctuary, embracing the Sonoran Desert’s unique rhythms while incorporating the principles of the ariVéa philosophy. This philosophy is based on six key elements: the power of nature, timeless wellness traditions, the preciousness of water, personalization, the impact of intention, and stillness. Each of these elements shapes the spa’s experience, from curated treatments to the design of the space itself.
Guests can expect a thoughtfully crafted environment that encourages relaxation, introspection, and reconnection with nature. The spa’s modern aesthetics incorporate natural materials and design elements that mirror the desert’s beauty. Pillowed French limestone, organic textures, and handcrafted ceramic sculptures create a tranquil atmosphere, ensuring a peaceful escape from the outside world.
The Spa’s Design: A Seamless Blend of Nature and Luxury
The 32,000-square-foot space, re-envisioned by architects DesignOne-Studio and EDG, incorporates natural elements such as limewashed plaster walls, travertine, and Jerusalem Gold limestone to create a seamless connection between the indoors and the natural surroundings. The use of desert-inspired tones and materials invites guests to slow down and embrace the serenity of the environment. The addition of art, such as the ceramic cacti sculptures by artist Dustin Gimbel, further strengthens the spa’s connection to the desert landscape.
Outdoors, the spa features bioclimatic cabanas and lounging areas with panoramic views of Camelback Mountain. The wellness experience extends into the outdoors, where bespoke furnishings, thoughtful landscaping, and sculptural desert plants enhance the calming atmosphere.
A New Ritual of Movement, Stillness, and Water
The newly transformed spa focuses on holistic healing through a balance of heat, cold, breath, and rest. The Wellness Circuit is central to this approach, offering a journey through a Himalayan salt sauna, an aromatherapy steam cavern, and experiential cold therapies. Guests can also relax on limestone infrared loungers or soak in the 18-person vitality pool while taking in breathtaking desert views.
For deeper sensory restoration, the Stillness Lounge features Mind-Sync Harmonic Wellness Loungers and calming treatments designed to reduce stress and improve sleep. The new outdoor wellness programming, launching in February, includes the Wellness Waters circuit, Flow, Still, and Chill, which offers hydrotherapy options that complement the desert’s natural rhythms.
Pathways to Wellness: Personalized Treatments Rooted in the Desert
The Spa at Camelback Inn offers a menu of treatments aligned with the core elements of the ariVéa philosophy. Guests can choose from four Pathways to Well-Being: Detox, Soothe, Harmonize, and Restore, each designed to address specific wellness goals. The treatments incorporate indigenous healing botanicals, restorative bodywork, and movement practices, all with the goal of enhancing well-being and rejuvenation.
Signature experiences include the Juniper Sage Grounding Massage and Adobe Clay Detox, both inspired by the healing properties of the Sonoran Desert. Guests can further enhance their journey with guided hikes, sound baths, and restorative movement classes, all designed to support the wellness experience beyond the treatment room.
Ora Café: Nourish with Intention
The spa’s culinary centerpiece, Ora Café, offers nourishing dishes that align with the wellness-focused Pathways to Well-Being. The café’s menu, crafted in collaboration with a licensed nutritionist, offers fresh, seasonal dishes made with ingredients sourced from the JW Garden. Signature items include the Kefir Yogurt Açai Smoothie Bowl and Power Bowl with quinoa and avocado, designed to nourish guests and extend the therapeutic benefits of their spa experience. Ora Café’s inviting atmosphere, with both indoor and outdoor seating, makes it the perfect place to relax and refuel during the wellness journey.
