To maximize all guest experiences, Castle Hot Springs has set arrival/departure days of Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Historic Arizona retreat with natural thermal pools, reimagined for a new era

Endless blue skies stretch out above. Ahead of you the ochre and sepia-hued slopes of the Bradshaw Mountains grow larger and larger. The closer you get to Castle Hot Springs Resort, the further behind the day-to-day world feels. As you arrive, you can almost hear the thermal springs bubbling up all around this boutique retreat – creating the sense of a natural, luxury oasis amid the sun-soaked desert.

Castle Hot Springs has been many years in the making. The carefully renovated Lodge and newly-created Spring Bungalows and SkyView Cabins are just the latest chapter in a long story. From Native tribes to American high society and recuperating World War II soldiers, the thermal springs have long attracted people seeking rest and healing. Today, Castle Hot Springs fuses its early-20th-century glamour with a pared-back, off-grid ethos that makes it the ideal contemporary hideaway.

This is somewhere to switch off from the always-on digital world and immerse yourself in nature. Start by sampling the thermal springs. Sink into your hot tub, dip into the main pool, or go straight to the source at the canyon swimming holes. After recharging, explore the mountains on foot, horseback or by ATV, then return for garden-fresh meals prepared with locally-grown ingredients. Then end each day with the ultimate all-star show: a mesmerising night sky.


Enjoy your stay!

Amazing! The best spot for a honeymoon!

Our stay at Castle Hot Springs was incredible from start to finish! The Sky View Cabin felt luxurious and cozy. The food is outstanding! They are the epitome of "farm to table". The 5-course meals every night consistently blew us away. All the activies that were offered were so fun. The horseback riding, Read more[SPLIT]Read lessthe via ferrata, the mixology class...we enjoyed every single activity immensely. All the activity instructors were so friendly and passionate about what they were doing, and the farms are so dedicated to what they do, it was so inspiring. Castle Hot Springs is truly an oasis in the middle of the desert. The scenery is so beautiful it hardly seems real. And finally, the hot springs! Nothing was better than slipping into the springs in the early morning or late at night and floating all your worries away. It's impossible not to be happy during your stay. Choosing this resort for our honeymoon was the best decision we ever made, and we can't wait to go back!

The food is beyond any meals you would find at any resort around the world. The staff goes above and beyond any expectations to make your stay truly special. Even at full capacity, we felt as if we were the only ones there.
