Nestled in classic Arizona landscape, the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa is just that — a sanctuary. Perfectly located minutes away from downtown and just eight miles from the airport, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa is the ultimate desert escape.
This serene hotel built into the side of Camelback Mountain boasts of 81 magnificent mountainside casitas and 24 modern spa casitas. With stunning views of Paradise Valley, you will find it hard to leave the premises.
With 53 acres full of lush gardens and a large infinity pool the hotel invites you to lounge in luxury from any space. Private cabanas are yours to rent while sipping on a handcrafted cocktail after having hiked the trails at sunrise. Sanctuary is complete with a full service spa, a fitness center, and a spectacular restaurant — providing everything you need and more for the ultimate retreat. An evening at the restaurant Elements is a must try, and be sure to request for a table next to the window for a stunning sunset view. The restaurants has a menu filled with Asian accents and classically prepared dishes, all noted by incredible flavor and taste.
When you’re not out by the pool, the hotel is luxury at its finest. Each casitas is equipped with a wood-burning fireplace, luxurious soaking tub, and views that go on for miles. The nightly turndown service kindly reminds you of the resounding theme: relaxation. Staying in a Mountainside Casita at Sanctuary was spacious and inviting, making one feel like you had a luxurious house to yourself.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
