  • Whether your definition of healthy travel tends toward relaxation or action, Scottsdale, Arizona—with an increasing number of luxury resorts—has plenty of options for a trip that leaves you feeling refreshed. For the outdoor adventurer, there are trails to hike or mountain bike, and cliffs to scale. Spa lovers can book indulgent treatments with some of the country’s top therapists. And if golf is your choice for active relaxation, it’s no wonder that Scottsdale is the best golf vacation destination. There are 200 courses in the area, and with 330 days of sunshine per year, your chances of a rain delay are slim. All those resorts means upscale shopping is already plentiful, and there are three new luxury malls planned for North Scottsdale. The city boasts a vibrant creative scene as well, with three arts districts and the top-rated annual Scottsdale Arts Festival. Looking to learn a little more about what makes this part of the country special? From January through April, the Native Trails series of festivals celebrates Native American cultures of the Southwest through dance, music, food and art. No matter what season you visit, make time for a trip to Taliesin West, considered one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s great masterpieces. In the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, it was one of his private homes and its influence can be seen in architecture all over the region.
