Carefree, AZ
What better place to unplug than in a remote Arizona community called Carefree? Located north of Scottsdale in the Sonoran Desert Foothills, Carefree offers scenic hiking and sunny skies year-round, but you’ll also find a bustling art scene. Spend the day getting lost in a sea of galleries and discover your new favorite artist, or hit up East Street downtown and explore the Carefree Desert Gardens. In addition to four acres of rare desert flora and fauna, the botanical gardens also house the 90-foot Carefree Sundial landmark, one of the largest sundials in the world. Once you’ve worked up an appetite in the evening, sit down for a steak dinner at Keeler’s. This neighborhood steakhouse is the perfect place for a glass of pinot noir and a tender filet mignon with a side of grilled asparagus.
Where to Stay:
Civana Wellness Resort & Spa is Carefree’s premier place for an unplugged reset. Situated on 20 acres of desert land, the resort is home to a world-class spa and 144 rooms and suites, but the property’s main highlight is its extensive list of classes and activities. Guests can partake in complimentary meditation, yoga, fitness and Reiki classes, and there are more than 100 different experiences to try. Castle Hot Springs, another renowned wellness resort with natural hot springs and limited wifi, is located about an hour away.
