Castle Hot Springs is an ideal Arizona winter vacation, combining natural mineral hot springs, spacious accommodations, and a peaceful desert setting just outside Phoenix. Plan a relaxing Arizona Christmas vacation where you can slow down, soak, explore, dine, and enjoy the holidays without the stress of planning every detail.
Castle Hot Springs Resort in Arizona includes a host of activities during every guest’s stay. From active outdoor adventures, inspired farm and garden tours, well-being, and mindful practices to the star attraction of soaking in the natural mineral hot springs, choice is abundant in this remote desert oasis.
“We like to give our guests an adventure to remember,” says Josh Wamboldt, wrangler, and guide. “Since we have 15 horses to choose from we can match our horses to fit each guest, to match up with their riding experience.”
There is no comparison for a dark Arizona night sky experienced from a geothermal soaking pool. This is the transformative moment Castle Hot Springs guests come from around the world to experience — a profound immersion in natural grandeur and stunning sensation that is hard to find anywhere else.
Summers call for grilling out and enjoying long, leisurely meals sipping delicious wines that are light and refreshing. We asked Sarah The Director of Wine & Service to share her top five picks for summer wine pairings, in no particular order. Let’s dive in.
With two levels of wine pairing dinners available, guests have a chance to sample beloved favorites or discover new worlds to savor. Whatever type of adventure you seek to uncork, Sarah Foote will be glad to guide you.
With so much seasonal bounty on hand, the chefs at Castle Hot Springs create an array of enticing dishes at both Harvest and Bar 1896. Of course, during these warm languid days, the emphasis is on recipes that are light and refreshing. Even if you aren’t able to visit the resort this summer, you can enjoy a classic cold soup at home with our Cucumber Gazpacho recipe.
