Scottsdale is a great place for a quick warm weather getaway. If you read my last post (A Winter Warm Weather Getaway to Scottsdale), you know all about what to do and where to eat, but what about relaxing? If you want to include some R&R on your trip to Scottsdale, head to the Away Spa at the W Scottsdale. Here are a few reasons why you won’t want to miss it.
Whether you are staying at the W Scottsdale or not, be sure to make a pit stop at the Away Spa located on the lobby level of the hotel. The newly unveiled spa is a bright, beautiful space. As you walk in you pass an airy display of beauty products until you are greeted at the reception desk by one of the cheery staff. After checking in for your treatments, you are handed a health shot, this is classic W—“Detox. Retox. Repeat” is their motto after all. Trust me they want you to be in your best shape for a night on the town! After you down the tasty drink, ours tasted like tropical citrus, you’ll head to your treatment.
Away Spa offers the full range of treatments, with everything from massages to facials, to hair and nail service, you will be relaxed and looking your best in no time.
I recommend starting with something to take the edge off of the long flight, perhaps a nice deep tissue massage? I tried the Detox Massage and it was amazing, the perfect way to unwind after a long week. After that, take a nice hot shower in the lounge and then head out into the salon to get spiffed up for a. day on the town. Away Spa offers “Quickies”, which are quick, treatments that fit the bill when you are in town for business and need to look your best for a meeting, or even a date. Ranging from a blowout to a manicure to waxings, to even a neck and shoulder massage, the “Quickie” treatments are all under an hour (with many 30 minutes or less). You don’t need a lot of time to look your best. Treat yourself to a little more you time on your trip to Scottsdale with the help of the Away Spa.
This fabulous blowout was done by @leekeoni and he also recommended a deep conditioning mask for the most post blowout shine! This is the softest my hair has felt in a while.
A little time at the Away Spa does wonders and turns a day in Scottsdale into a vacation (even if you are there on business!). Treat yourself to a little Detox. Retox. Repeat. on your next trip.
