Boulders Resort and Spa is not just another place to sleep after a long day of meetings or sightseeing. With two award-winning golf courses and a 33,000-square-foot spa, you may want to reserve at least one day just to enjoy a massage or a facial infused with desert botanicals. Located in the small community of Carefree, just north of Phoenix, the only problem you’ll encounter is selecting a room. Choose from an executive suite, an adobe casita, a hacienda, a villa, or the Villa Retreat. The elegant southwestern décor is accentuated by the natural stone showers, fireplaces, and beamed ceilings. Visit the spa for a relaxing treatment or play a round of golf. The five dining locations will please the most discriminating palate.
