SCOTTSDALE

Scottsdale provides plenty of activities for the whole family. Experience the Arizonan desert by hiking trails leading up the Camelback Mountain. The trails boast phenomenal views and range in levels of difficulty from beginners to thrill seekers.

The landscape can also be enjoyed at the Desert Botanical Garden, the world’s biggest outdoor desert plant collection. Visitors can stroll all five thematic trails featuring towering cacti, alluring succulents and colourful wildflowers. Brave the flashlight tour to see the garden at night under a starlit sky.

Arizona also hosts the only instrument museum in the world, another must-see. The Musical Instruments Museum displays more than 6,000 instruments and has an ‘Experience Gallery’ where guests can play unique instruments from all over the world.

Add golf to enchanting desert beauty at the luxurious Scottsdale Four Seasons. Don’t miss a relaxing day at their spa, which offers a variety of treatments that harness the healing powers of desert plants such as the prickly pear and jojoba.

Scottsdale boasts many fabulous restaurants and The Four Seasons signature steakhouse, Talavera, is worth a visit for its flavourful meals with a Spanish flair featuring traditional Latin ingredients. If you like Nuevo Latino cuisine dine at Deseo, known for tasty ceviche and caipirinhas.
