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.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Phoenix Sky Harbor International is the city’s gateway airport, with many international and domestic flights.
  • Automobiles

    Although Phoenix’s individual neighborhoods are fairly walkable, hire a car to head out of the city and drive off into the sunset.
