SLOW DOWN NOW AT CIVANA If you've ever dreamed of a day or weekend escape to recharge and reset at a wellness resort, CIVANA is the place to be. Located just outside of Scottsdale, this spa resort caters to wellness seekers with a serene setting and a healthy approach to "resorting." With four core pillars – Movement, Spa, Nourishment, and Discovery – CIVANA offers a holistic experience and an opportunity to leave transformed with a new approach to well-being. Pop into one of the many fitness classes offered throughout the day or relax poolside, where all guests must be 14 and up. Even better, book a treatment at the spa, where the main focus is the healing power of water. I tried the Aqua Vitality circuit and a full-body massage – both were heavenly. There are no indulgent temptations here; instead, the Seed Café and Terras Restaurant offer plant-rich cuisine and nourishing smoothies. Explore the resort's desert landscape gardens, enjoy a moment of Zen in the labyrinth, or practice yoga on the lawn – whatever you choose, CIVANA ensures a refreshing and renewing experience.
