Phoenix is the best place to have a relaxing resort vacation. Why? Because it’s hot and you’re not too tempted to go crazy fitting a bunch of activities in. You’ll just want to lay by the pool and relax. It’s also dry which means the pool cools you off perfectly!
If you live in the area, do yourself a favor and plan a stay cation weekend before the summer is over. Leave all the work, laundry and cleaning behind and relax at one of these gorgeous locations.

The cabanas are ideal for families or large parties seeking shade to the most popular water features.
The WigWam
For some, the pool is that lovely spot where you soak up the sun, sip a margarita and take the occasional refreshing dip with someone you love. For others, it’s a Marco Polo-crazed fun fest. The beauty of having three pools and a Jacuzzi™ at The Wigwam is that both camps are happy-and thoughtfully separated. From the new, 25-foot tower with two twisting water slides to the romantic, tucked-away Oasis Pool, there is a refreshing place just right for everyone.
