Sanctuary
on Camelback
The
Sanctuary on Camelback. A legend tells that once an Indian maiden
led her camel across the desert. After walking for days, she
went in search of water. Instructing her camel to wait for her,
she left the camel kneeling in the sand. When she returned the
camel had turned to stone.
Science claims that the camel we see today was sculpted during
the past 12 million years by wind, sun and rain, as well as
natural uplifting forces that still occur today. The fault line
is clearly visible where the camel's head joins its neck. Although
the formation looks as if it were formed in a single stroke,
actually the head appeared much later and belongs to a separate
mass of rock comprised of four distinctive layers.
Discover
a perfect moment in time. Terraced high onto the north slope
of Camelback Mountain, reside eighty-two spacious and luxurious
casitas (little houses) ... hideaways that are respites from
reality. Here, time is measured by book chapters read. Music
is carried by birds in flight. And glitter arrives only with
the night sky. Newly remodeled, each casita style room is
decorated in bold desert hues, and appointed with luxury linens
and custom duvets. Bathrooms feature travertine marble with
elegant sinks, custom cabinetry and roomy tubs edged with
votive candles. Perfectly positioned to enjoy a private desert
view, all accommodations offer complete privacy inviting guests
to indulge in contemplation, relaxation, and renewal.
Deluxe
Casitas Include:
- Spacious, glassed-in sunroom with sitting area, perfect
for reading or relaxing, affords breathtaking views of Camelback
Mountain and the surrounding Town of Paradise Valley.
- An artful mix of designer contemporary furnishings dressed
in bold desert colors and rich textures.
- A charming bathroom featuring custom cabinetry, travertine
marble shower and an inviting bath.
- 450 square feet.
After
hiking a mountain trail, swimming in the pool, enjoying a relaxing
treatment at our Spa, or shopping in nearby Scottsdale, slip
under a luxurious duvet and enjoy the sensation of fine linens
(300 thread count) caressing you. Every casita is thoughtfully
appointed to awaken all your senses, soothe your spirit and
