Editorial Review for Sanctuary Spa – by Christina Fuoco and Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Scents of lemongrass candles and steeping green tea waft through this Thai-influenced spa. Well-heeled 30- and 40-somethings relax in padded wooden chairs, sipping lemon water and savoring the views. Lounge windows overlook the crisp geometry of a reflecting pool and meditation garden, while other spa areas provide a commanding perspective of Camelback Mountain's red-rock pinnacle known as "Praying Monk." Stretches of sailcloth are artfully hung outdoors, partially shading the saltwater lap pool and lending privacy to select areas.
The Services
Popular picks include 90-minute body polishes, which begin with a scrub in the pristine, white-tiled wet room and finish with a 60-minute massage between a treatment table's thick sheets. Every facial features a signature extra: detoxifying, self-heating mud applied to patrons' spine and feet. Thai foot massage is a unique experience in which the therapist uses massage, reflexology and a wooden dowel to soothe weary soles.
