Set on 150 acres at the foot of the Santa Catalinas, Canyon Ranch is the wellness resort that most other wellness resorts quietly studied. The crowd here skews toward repeat visitors who come to actually disconnect rather than document it, which keeps the energy refreshingly free of performance. Vogue named it among the 100 Best Spas in the World. Five mountain ranges frame the sky, and the architecture is designed around all that contemplative staring into the middle distance.
