Why it's holistic
- CIVANA is organised around a daily rhythm of movement and reflection.
- Its complimentary classes draw on varied disciplines and techniques, and the resort describes daily wellness experiences that run from mindfulness and movement to culinary, personal growth, outdoor adventure and creative arts.
- The spa adds personalised treatments and an aqua-therapy circuit, and the kitchen is led by a plant-forward culinary team.
- Sunrise hikes and the resort's bikes take guests out of the buildings and into the desert and the town of Carefree.
About
CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa stands on 20-plus acres of the Sonoran Desert in Carefree, Arizona, and opened to guests in March 2018. Classes are the centrepiece: the resort lists more than 10 complimentary wellness classes each day, from sunrise hikes to sound baths, alongside curated personal growth and discovery content and outdoor adventure. The spa offers custom massages, beauty services and aqua-therapy treatments, and its Aqua Therapy Circuit is available with any spa treatment. The resort says its kitchen is plant-forward and hyper-seasonal, and that guests have access to what it calls world-renowned wellness guides and healers. The resort applies an Experience Fee per guest, per night plus tax, which it says covers the complimentary daily wellness programming, fitness centre, resort bikes, Wi-Fi and self-parking, and it describes its approach as wellness through oneness.
