Sometimes you just need to plan a trip and grab cheap round trip flights for the sole purpose of rejuvenating both mind and body. If this resonates, look no further than the American Southwest for some of the best desert spa getaways around. From Arizona to Utah and California, here are five destinations to get your relaxation vacation planning started.

Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa – Paradise Valley, AZ

The renowned Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa combines Southwestern influences with Asian design in a way that makes for a very relaxing environment. Indulge in spa services like the “Nagare Experience” — a combination of Watsu pool and massage session, or partake in more active relaxation such as taking a hike or joining a yoga class. Enjoy the serenity of the meditation garden before devouring world-class cuisine overlooking Paradise Valley.

Amara Resort and Spa – Sedona, AZ

One of the most famous spa destinations in the U.S., Sedona is known for the natural beauty of its red rock formations. Amara Resort and Spa is located in the high desert, adjacent to Oak Creek. Amara’s decidedly chill vibe includes craft cocktails, lawn games, partners’ yoga, and artsy décor. The resort’s aesthetic is the perfect blend of mid-century (think warm wood paneling with modern accents) and Southwestern (think woven baskets and textiles); in other words, it’s a design lover’s dream.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa – Ojo Caliente, New Mexico

Dishes are made with fresh ingredients from the nearby Ojo Farm.

Red Mountain Resort – St. George, Utah

The stunning Red Mountain Resort is the perfect place to reflect on your inner wellness. Receive nutrition counseling, consult with a shaman, and spend time refreshing both mind and body while horseback riding, canyoneering, taking a Pilates class, or enjoying a deep tissue massage. Although there are many options for activities and services, you don’t have to worry about becoming overwhelmed (or missing out); the spa publishes a daily schedule to help guide you through your re-energizing activities during your time there.
