Towering cacti, 12 million year old boulders and free roaming wildlife share the Sonoran Desert landscape at The Boulders Resort located in Carefree, AZ. This renowned resort is adjacent to El Pedregal's apparel boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and a branch of The Heard Museum.
Acclaimed architect Bob Bacon pitched a tent and actually lived on the desert grounds during The Boulder Resort planning stages. His concepts yielded a lobby with wood beam ceilings, gracefully curved sandstone hued walls and a collection of Native American artwork. Six on site restaurants include a seasonally changing menu a Latilla. Palo Verde prepares signature Southwestern cuisine, while The Golden Door Spa Café creates health enhancing dishes using plants nurtured at the resort's herb garden. The 33,000 square foot Golden Door Spa offers signature therapeutic treatments and private meditations. The spa houses steam rooms, saunas, an O'furo Japanese bath, a meditation labyrinth and an outdoor pool. Resort activities include heart pumping boulder climbs.
