Though you may look as if you woke up like this, we all know it takes a lot of work and maintenance to look better than you did in your twenties. Between trainers, special diets, aestheticians, and glam squads: is wellness only available if you throw money at the problem? The answer at Civana, is no.

And with rooms priced under 1k, there’s no reason not to treat yourself. Plus, you might even see your fav celebs taking advantage of the same opportunity. This place is the trendy new resort where wellness dreams are realized.
The Overview
We’re always intrigued when we see a new resort pop up all over Instagram. The Saguaro cactus backdrop behind pool pics is great for the aesthetic. But these guests are getting more than just a cool pic at Civana.
Civana Wellness Resort & Spa is the new, affordable yet high-end wellness retreat for free-spirited professionals looking to reset this winter. Located half an hour outside of Scottsdale, the resort embodies and transmits the Sonoran desert’s serenity. The resort is situated on over 20 acres of land which means you’ll see plenty of desert vistas all around. Like Amangiri, the actual Civana resort is designed with the natural landscape in mind. Although, the refined and spiritual setting establishes the scene for athleisure-adorned millennials who are there to chill out.
With over 70 wellness classes each week, treatments, hikes, and happy hours (yes, happy hours for well-being), Civana Wellness Resort & Spa feels like somewhere special, even in the middle of nowhere.
The Rooms
Civana Wellness Resort & Spa is affordable, but the rooms do not disappoint. There are one-bedroom suites, King suites, Spa Kings, and Double Queens. Each suite has a minimal design but is equipped with mini-fridges, personal care products from Grown Alchemist, as well as coffee and tea makers. Civana also provides plush white robes which can be worn wherever you may find yourself on the premises.
The larger rooms have bigger bathrooms with tubs and vista views. And though the rooms may be your home base, they are not the only place where you can really let yourself relax.
The Spa
Now we’re getting to the good stuff. The spa has over 22,000 (!) square feet of treatment space. Popular options include aqua therapy, which uses contrasting temperatures in pools and showers to reset your equilibrium and rejuvenate your mind and body. Two levels of treatment rooms make space for facials, massages, and treatments that require explanation.
There are also a crazy amount of classes to take at Civana which range from aerial yoga to juice making so you can learn all kinds of skills to take with you when you leave. You’re required to book your treatments and classes before you arrive but the meditation sessions are free and without reservation take place every morning and evening.
