Day 1: Settle in & explore the grounds

Transport yourself to the enchanting landscapes of Southern Spain as you check into the Omni Resort Scottsdale. Take advantage of an early check-in and luxuriate in the comfort of your complimentary upgraded room, both perks of booking directly with us (based on hotel availability). Settle into the elegant charm of your Old World-designed room, seamlessly blending classic touches with modern technologies. Venture out to explore the resort's expansive grounds and discover the plethora of amenities it has to offer. Indulge in a refreshing beverage from MBar, and, as the sun sets, take a stroll past the Alhambra Fountain, where the tranquil atmosphere sets the stage for reflection. Engage your senses with a reading of Pablo Neruda's poignant poem, "Clenched Soul," before partaking in the timeless tradition of casting a coin into the fountain. Continue your journey through the rich tapestry of Spanish culture by making your way to the Kasbah Patio, where a mesmerizing Flamenco performance awaits, infusing the evening with vibrant energy and passion.

As night falls, make your way back to MBar for wood-fired tapas, signature sangrias and classic cocktails with a modern twist while enjoying live music from local artists performing eclectic jazz and contemporary numbers with a modern upbeat feel. For a sweet treat to conclude the evening, grab a bite of gelato from Crave Cafe.

Day 2: History, relaxation & nightlife

Start your day with a little history on the Omni Resort Scottsdale’s guided Spanish treasure tour and uncover the hidden secrets and rich history of the Andalusian-inspired hotel. You may just learn the history behind El Camino Real, the authentic bell located in Cortijo Plaza, also known as “The King’s Highway,” or about how olive oil was made in the 19th century. Next, make your way to Prado, Scottsdale’s beloved restaurant offering seasonal Spanish-influenced fare for an approachable American palate, for their signature brunch — compliments of booking your stay through us.

Begin your relaxation day at Joya Spa, where you may select from a variety of treatments including massages, facials, wellness programs and naturopathic services. After your treatment, spend time at the spa’s pool and take in the best view of Camelback Mountain. Enjoy a healthy and refreshing snack or lunch on the Joya Terrace.

When it is time to get the party started, make your way to the Oasis Pool to groove poolside to live DJ music and vibe to the atmosphere with a refreshing drink in hand.

When you've worked up an appetite, head back to Prado, enjoying their dinner menu of specialty mix-and-match shareables ranging from wood-fired meats and marinated vegetables to Spanish meats and cheeses. Watch the chef tend the flame at the tapas bar or dine on Prado's beautiful patio as you sip your wine with good company. For a more casual experience with sweeping views of Camelback Mountain, try Taqueria Centro, featuring local farm-to-table fare plus approachable seasonal Spanish cuisine. Be sure to try one of their fresh lime margaritas! Conclude your evening at the Omni Resort Scottsdale by the fire pit with your own delicious s’mores kit.

Day 3: Hiking & farewell brunch

Before your journey home, seize the opportunity to invigorate your body and mind. Embark on a hike up Camelback Mountain, where panoramic views await at the summit, or opt for a scenic bike ride through the landscapes of the Sonoran Desert. For those seeking a more structured workout, indulge in a fitness class at Joya Spa, ranging from Pilates and yoga to spin and athletic training, designed to elevate your wellness journey. After exerting yourself, cool off with a dip in one of the resort’s pools before returning to Prado for your complimentary brunch.

Take your time at the resort as you enjoy your late check-out, compliments of us (based on hotel availability). Before your departure, if you must leave, stop by Crave Cafe for a Stance coffee or snacks before hitting the road.
