Royal Palms Resort and Spa sits below Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, centred on a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival villa that once served as a winter home. Courtyards, gardens, fountains and tiled walkways give the resort an intimate, estate like character, with rooms, casitas and villas varying in layout and outlook. Alvadora Spa, Mediterranean influenced dining and relaxed outdoor spaces set a slower desert pace, and Scottsdale, Arcadia and central Phoenix are all within easy reach for dining, shopping and cultural visits.
