JW MARRIOTT TUCSON STARR PASS RESORT AND SPA

THINGS TO KNOW:

AAA Four Diamond Starr Pass offers 88,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor event space, two on-site restaurants, a spa and virtually every amenity you’ve come to expect from a highly rated Arizona resort. This expansive oasis offers unique and engaging activities steeped in local tradition, including the morning Mitakuye Oyasin traditional Native American ceremony that welcomes a higher perpsective into your life, and the popular Salud Terrace “Legend of Arriba Abajo” sunset tequila toast, during which time guests learn about General Pancho Villa’s pursuit of love.

DON’T MISS:

Enjoy a relaxing day at the 20,000-square-foot Hashani Spa. Be sure to partake in a specialty service, such as the signature Petals and Leaves ritual that treats your skin to the ultimate hydrating experience — perfect for desert dwellers and visitors — and a delightful scalp massage. Take a float on the lazy river or experience poolside morning yoga while a flutist shares tranquil Native American melodies. And don’t forget to make reservations at the resort’s high-end restaurant, Primo.
