Scottsdale / United States

Imagine a city built entirely on the principles of pampering, recreation and relaxation, where sunny days, near perfect temperatures and splendid natural scenery reign supreme. It probably looks a lot like Scottsdale. With more than 200 golf courses in the area, ample spas and wellness resorts plus cultural attractions like master architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter studio and numerous art galleries, the city is the perfect weekend antidote for life's stresses. Tee off at the exclusive Troon North Golf Club where emerald green fairways, grand vistas and award-winning design combine to produce an unforgettable game. Or poke around the many shops and galleries in town that display and sell Native American art and crafts. In the evening unwind with an in-room massage or stargaze from the steamy comfort of an outdoor hot tub. In Scottsdale, pleasure is par for the course.
