Luxury holidays in Phoenix
Soaking in the Sonoran sunshine, state capital Phoenix is a sprawling desert metropolis with all the telltale trimmings of arid Arizona: hot springs, hiking trails and a carpeting of cacti, plus a patchwork of diverse neighborhoods. Tour avant-garde architecture in stylish Scottsdale or head downtown for museums, murals, bars and bakeries. With rainy days a rarity, and its nickname of the Valley of the Sun, Phoenix is long on memorable sunsets, which bathe the desert in a golden glow.
When to go
Visit Phoenix between November and May to enjoy the sunshine at the most bearable temperatures.
