The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain
If Arizona’s high Sonoran Desert is the “last great treasure in the continental United States,” then the eight-year-old Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is the region’s crown jewel. Its destination spa is an eco-holistic haven utilizing Native American herbs and techniques, and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course was quickly deemed among the country’s best. Every activity, from tennis and yoga to biking and hiking on 20 miles of trails — not to mention tours to ancient petroglyphs and take-your-breath-away stargazing — is available. Afterward, dine on regional and sustainable dishes at CORE Kitchen.
Hotel Tip
Visit the small shopping center at the mountain’s foot for any needed items before arriving at the resort. You won't want to leave once you get there! –Beverly Pickett Currie, North CarolinaVirtuoso Preferred Supplier Since 01 Apr 2010

The property was beautiful. Marana is not over populated so we were able to enjoy the quiet, openness and scenery.
The staff was very friendly and knew us by sight
The suite was wonderful with a balcony. The food was very good; we enjoyed eating our meals outside everyday.
Pool area was peaceful with lots of scenery. They brought frozen fruit and icy treats for us. The spa was one of the best I've been to and their pool area was secluded and unbelievable.

Fantastic room and lovely resort grounds. We didn't leave our 4 days. More than enough pool time and hiking right outside the hotel

Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain - Pure Magic

Our time in Dove Mountain was just magical. It is such a beautiful property and area, and we rate it as perhaps our most enjoyable resort stay ever. The kids had a great time also, and the Ritz-Carlton were superb in every way. The staff went out of their way to make sure every detail was attended to. I recommend this property very highly, especially if, like me, you love the surrounds of the high desert.
