Originally built below Camelback Mountain in 1959, Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale reemerged as an icon of luxury and design after it was completely rebuilt in 2017. Located near Scottsdale in serene Paradise Valley, the resort features striking architecture and stunning desert surroundings that create an energy of renewal that draws you into this unique destination. Mountain Shadows resort is the winner of numerous awards and accolades including the Top 500 List Travel + Leisure, Top 10 Resorts in The Southwest (#7), Condé Nast Readers' Choice Awards/Best Hotels, U.S. News & World Report, and Tripadvisor #14 resorts in Paradise Valley Travelers' Choice Award 2022.

Laze the day away by two 75-foot pools connected by a modern waterfall feature. Refreshing cocktails, plush chaise lounges, and private cabanas set the tone for a leisurely afternoon. Admire dramatic views of Camelback Mountain and the surrounding desert beauty while you bask in the Arizona sun. Stay on track or try something new in the 4,000-square-foot fitness facility, offering Pilates, classic and aerial yoga, barre, a cycle center, TRX, the latest Precor equipment, personal training and individual and group classes.

Tee off Mountain Shawdows Resort's Short Course, an award winning and scenic 18-hole course that offers fun and fast rounds, ideal for beginners and pros alike. Each hole is a par 3, making this the perfect place to work on your short game. The original 1961 course was designed by Arthur Jack Snyder, and redesigned by his mentee, Forrest Richardson. The updated layout pays homage to the original with challenging greens, rugged slopes, and distinct holes. The Short Course comes with a bonus, Hole 17.5. The Forrest Wager is a long, flowing green where the object is to play against your opponents in similar fashion to the popular golf game Bingo Bango Bongo. Here, one point is awarded for the closest to the hole on the first shot played. Another for the first player to hole out (the farthest plays first, as always). And a third point for the lowest score.

Round out your desert escape with a luxurious massage performed in your guestroom or suite, or outside on your patio or balcony.
