The American Southwest is full of activities for adventurous travelers, but millions of people make their way to the desert in order to enjoy its myriad of luxurious spa treatments. If you want to receive the best massage or facial of your life, you may want to book a stay at one of the region's luxury rentals. The spas of the Southwest cater to high-class vacationers who enjoy hitting the links and getting pampered.

While staying at the Casa Five villa in Arizona, you will have the chance to enjoy a full-service spa treatment at Sanctuary Spa. With Asian-inspired treatments and a soothing meditation garden, this amenity is an ideal place for guests to take a breath of fresh air while being surrounded by the beautiful desert landscape. If you're looking to work up a sweat, the Sanctuary complex also provides a fitness center and exercise facilities if you want to stay in shape during vacation.

In the nearby Scottsdale, there are a number of luxurious spas that take full advantage of the area's rich soil, using local ingredients to create their lotions and top-quality oils. Guests who stay in luxury vacation rentals at Sanctuary can enjoy the Luk Pra Kope spa treatment, which draws inspiration from Asian healing traditions. Beginning with a lime juice foot bath and concluding with an invigorating Thai facial, you'll be massaged with organically grown herbs that have rejuvenating effects.

If you're a golfer and had a particularly exhausting day at the links, numerous spas in the Scottsdale area have specially designed therapies for tight shoulders and aching backs.

Whether you're looking for an incredible facial treatment or need to ease your aching muscles, the southwest has spas that will suit your every need.

Back at your Sanctuary accommodations, such as the Hi Lob, you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Camelback mountain range. This spacious, 3,000 square foot home is perfect for those who want to enjoy a private retreat while still experiencing the convenient amenities located just around the corner, such as spinning and yoga classes. Of course, you may want to take a steam bath to soothe your muscles after a good workout.
