Fall Savings at The Boulders in Carefree, Arizona
Stay for four nights or longer at The Boulders Resort, and enjoy rates as low as $169 per night. (Twist my arm! Lingering longer isn’t so hard when indulging in all that Five-Diamond luxury.) Nestled in the secluded Sonoran Desert amidst dramatic 12 million year old granite boulders and towering cacti, this exclusive resort showcases distinctive adobe architecture that blends with the natural surroundings. The Boulders is located just 15 minutes north of Scottsdale, but feels a lifetime away. Discover all that desert beauty (teeming with wildlife), the world-famous Golden Door Spa, and challenging golf greens which have put the resort on the map as one of the top golf resorts in America.

Oh, that picture makes the story. It looks so exotic. Who would believe it’s just in Arizona?
I love the way the resort almost looks as if it were carved right out of the boulders themselves.
I was stationed in Arizona for a couple years and agree fall would be a lovely time of year to visit. Too hot in the summer.
My niece had her wedding at Boulders. Facility was wonderful. The food was grand and the Golden Spa is well worth it. Service outstanding.
