If you’re in search of a spa getaway with all the bells and whistles, look no further than Castle Hot Springs. This luxurious resort features three hot spring pools, five-star accommodations, and a farm-to-table restaurant and bar, all nestled in the rugged beauty of the Bradshaw Mountains. It’s a perfect little escape in the heart of southern Arizona, promising to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.
Just an hour northwest of the Phoenix metro, Castle Hot Springs is an oasis tucked away in the remote Bradshaw Mountains.
Facebook/Castle Hot Springs Indigenous people journeyed to the springs on horseback for many years, believing the water had medicinal properties. When the railroad came to town, entrepreneur Frank M. Murphy turned the property into Arizona’s very first wellness resort. Celebrities and dignitaries flocked to the springs to soak in their mineral-rich waters, and business was booming…until tragedy struck, that is. Fires engulfed two of the resort’s most iconic buildings, and the only option was to close up shop. All wasn’t lost, however — after sitting abandoned for 40 years, Castle Hot Springs officially reopened in 2019.
Surrounded by canyon walls and rugged desert beauty, three spring-fed pools offer a blissful escape from the daily grind.

Though undoubtedly the main attraction, swimming isn’t all the resort has to offer.

Dine on exquisite, farm-to-table meals at The Harvest, and sip handcrafted cocktails at Bar 1896. There’s so much to do, boredom isn’t even in the realm of possibilities.
Luxury accommodations include bungalows, cabins, and a historic, 1,200-square-foot cottage that once housed such notable families as the Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts.
