Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa





About us
Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa is located at 5700 East McDonald Drive. One of the most coveted boutique properties in the Valley of the Sun, Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain, clings to the rugged north slope of its namesake mountain. Intimate and sophisticated, as favored by readers of Condé Nast Traveler, the hotel welcomes groups seeking a tranquil environment well above the day-to-day fray. 110 Casitas and Suites achieve their magic through Zen like simplicity, generous space, natural materials, and lofty views of the surrounding desert. In addition 8 Mountainside Villas ranging from 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2,000 square feet to 5,500 square feet are perfect for your exclusive guests. Custom corporate activities range from wellness programs at the spa to cooking classes in the teaching kitchen, golf and tennis. Yet most groups spend the majority of their time at The Views, a secluded building with its own lobby and reception area. Flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows and a wraparound terrace. Two boardrooms stand by for executive sessions, while the pool deck, patios, terraces, and lawns set the stage for unforgettable parties under the Arizona sun and stars.
