Golf Casita Suite, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain

Tucked within the Tortolita Mountain slopes of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert is The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, a euphoric vacation experience that celebrates the awe-inspiring horizon of the region’s mountains, ravines and canyons with all the luxurious amenities and facilities one would expect. 

Adventure pulses through the air; this is a location destination perfect for those seeking to explore the desert, whether it be through bird watching, biking, golfing – the golf course is a championship 27-hole course that sprawls across three courses – or even late-night stargazing. 

Located right beside the Sonoran Desert National Monument and the Arizona Opera, and stretching across 26 miles, few hotels across the US can rival The Ritz-Carlton for its optimal hiking opportunities. 

Naturally, downtime is just as luxurious, with the hotel featuring a magnificent spa, a well-equipped fitness center and two pools. There are plenty of dining options, too; we like the mountain views from Ignite, which also hosts fabulous live music.

All the accommodation options are world-class, and yet it’s the one-bedroom Golf Casita Suite that stands out a head above the rest. 

Truly bringing the outside beauty right to you, the suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, over 218 sq ft of outdoor space, and magnificent views across the desert. You'll never forget your surroundings, allowing the most luxurious of amenities take center stage for full vacation indulgence. 

The one-bedroom suite includes a fireplace for optimal coziness, whilst the lavish dining room is perfect for the option of total privacy throughout your stay. 

Otherwise, the bathroom is an absolute delight; all marble, the oversized bathtub is gloriously indulgent, and the double vanities – plus a walk-in closet – are a luxury dash that combines the best of hospitality with a feeling of home away from home.
