Things to Do in Scottsdale: The Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Resort in Carefree, Arizona

By

Boulders at The Boulders in Scottsdale ArizonaUPDATE: The Spa at The Boulders is no longer a Golden Door Spa. It is now called The Spa at The Boulders.

If you are looking for a soothing and luxurious escape for a morning, afternoon or even a day, the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Resort is for you.

Nestled just below the beautiful rock formations that give The Boulders its name, the Golden Door Spa is a relaxing retreat. The atmosphere is very Zen-like and the moment you walk in, you can smell the subtle spa scents.

Once you are in the lobby, the fitness center and workout rooms are located in the wing to the right. Right in front of you through floor to ceiling windows is an outdoor pool and patio areas that spa guests can use. If you turn to the left, you will walk on a pathway that takes you by the salon and gift boutique on your way to the spa wing.

Once you are in the spa area, you will be assigned a locker and given a robe and slippers. From there, you enter the locker rooms which are called “Niwa.” Not only are the locker rooms outfitted with all of the amenities you would expect in a luxury spa, like a steam room and sauna, a serene waiting room with flavored waters, teas and light snacks, individual showers and changing areas, but you are also encouraged to participate in a Japanese-inspired bath called O’furos. You certainly want to build in time before or after your service to enjoy the various amenities that the Niwas offer.

The Golden Door offers a full menu of spa and beauty services. You will see all of the traditional massages and skin care, but the Golden Door also has a few treatments that are unique to the desert and desert living. One of these is the Turquoise Wrap which pays tribute to the Native American history of the area.

If you are looking for a relaxing, serene spa experience in a tranquil and stunning desert setting, the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders should fit the bill nicely.
