Best place to chill
SANCTUARY CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN RESORT & SPA
The vibe: This low-key mountainside retreat was No. 1 resort in the nation in the Condé Nast Traveler readers’ choice awards. If you’re seeking tranquillity, this is the place. Casita-style rooms and suites are contemporary, offering luxury on a budget during the summer.
Fun factor: The setting offers striking views of Camelback Mountain, and guests can relax at what’s said to be the largest infinity-edge pool in the state. But cellphones are banned by the pool. The ambience here is strictly Zen.
Details: Summer room rates, available until Sept. 6, start at $185 Sunday to Thursday, $225 Friday, Saturday. 5700 E. McDonald Drive, Paradise Valley, Ariz.; (800) 245-2051, www.sanctuaryaz.com. +
