Wellness - Mesa, AZ
Forget the resorts and spas—in Mesa, wellness means unplugging right in our backyard.
Our version starts with serene rivers and lakes, cactus-studded mountain trails, and our famously breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Mesa is the perfect place to refresh your mind, body and soul.
Just 20 minutes from downtown, the Lower Salt River flows gently, creating an ideal atmosphere for reconnecting with nature. Experience the waters on a serene float via paddleboard or kayak. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in spotting the famous wild horses roaming near the water or catching sight of majestic birds soaring above the riverbanks.
For those seeking a more meditative experience, Usery Mountain Regional Park and Lost Dutchman State Park offer peaceful escapes with hiking trails that wind through cacti and wildflowers, providing panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
City dwellers can find serenity at Riverview Park and Red Mountain Park. Both parks feature lakes and winding walking paths, making it easy to forget you’re within city limits.
For a unique wellness retreat, book your stay at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, where unplugging isn’t only encouraged, but almost unavoidable. This historic dude ranch is nestled within the Tonto National Forest, in the shadow of the Bulldog Cliffs. For complete serenity, on-site cabins are stripped of most modern conveniences such as TVs and alarm clocks, yet remain comfortable for the ultimate getaway. Visitors to the ranch can enjoy convenient access to Salt River adventures, horseback riding, an ancient petroglyph hike and much more.
Let nature heal and inspire you as you enjoy all that Mesa has to offer.
