Phoenix, AZ, offers a wonderful opportunity for a girlfriend’s getaway. Cool nights and warm days in January make it a perfect time to visit—spend the day discovering adventures and making memories with friends and curl up to a relaxing fire pit or restaurant bar to finish off the evening.
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort
The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch sits on the backdrop on the beauty of the majestic McDowell Mountains surrounded by palm trees, cacti, and wildflowers combined with Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture and the spirit of the Native.
This desert resort oasis offers numerous recreational amenities for guests. Arizona sunsets? Breathtaking. Outdoor decor? Chill relaxing vibe in fun colors with a pop.
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa amenities include 27 holes of championship golf, world-class tennis, and miles of jogging and bicycle trails. Other highlights feature the Native American Learning Center; Camp Hyatt for young resort guests; five distinctly different restaurants, three bars; Venetian gondola rides along the resort’s waterways; and nightly entertainment in Center Stage Bar. In addition, the premier meeting venue offers 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, providing both quality and flexibility of space.
Luxury Pools
The pool scene is incredible at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa. I love a good resort pool. You can spend an afternoon or a day or several days submerged in the 2.5-acre water playground complete with 10 pools including a 30’, 3-story, high-speed waterslide and its signature sand beach.
Spa Time in Spa Avania
The award-winning Spa Avania, the first spa experience choreographed to the science of time, is a spa unlike any other. Seek solitude from the Scottsdale, Arizona, desert at the Spa Avania. Awaken, rejuvenate, and unwind as you indulge in the blissful treatments at the spa located at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch. The spa features a Himalayan Salt Room, hot tub, plunge pool, the works.

Himalayan Salt Room
The Himalayan Salt Room at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa is possibly the singular most unique spa treatment I’ve had to date. Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy, and blood sugar levels. A natural disinfectant, salt is antimicrobial and antibacterial. Dry salt air is more powerful than moist air, and the negatively charged ions in salt improve our health and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinus congestion, and COPD. (As always, talk to your physician before using a salt room if you have a chronic illness.)
Hot stone massage at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa
I love a good deep tissue or hot stone massage. Stone massages are the preferred treatment for those looking to relax and relieve stress. Heated stones, used in conjunction with traditional massage techniques, create a massage experience beneficial to those who experience muscle tension, have had a muscle-related injury or are looking for the ultimate in relaxation. 60 minutes of bliss, especially after the Himalayan Salt Room at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa.
Wine Me, Dine Me Chef’s Culinary Demo
If you’re looking for a unique culinary experience, this is it. This is a culinary journey with Chef Juan and his culinary staff, who will take you deep into the heart of fresh, authentic Southwestern flavors. He will custom prepare a four-course menu for you complete with tequila and wine pairings.
It is a wonderfully fun experience where you can see, smell, and taste some of the things that make the southwest cuisine so unique and memorable. One thing I learned as part of this evening, Patrón ages a custom Barrel Select Reposado Añejo Tequila especially for the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale. I didn’t even know that was a thing until our dinner with Chef Juan!
