The Mountainside Estates at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale have it all: gourmet kitchens, private pools, game rooms, unique architecture and a prime location right next to the foothills of Camelback Mountain. And each estate is just a short jaunt away from Sanctuary Spa, home to Arizona’s largest infinity-edge pool and excellent dining options at elements restaurant and jade bar.
That’s why Sanctuary’s Summer Estate Escape packs all the more punch. Guests can book an estate stay for half the rate, now through September 13. That simple. Visit SanctuaryAZ.com to start planning.

If you could use a little adventure, here’s a daring idea: Let a chopper whisk you to one of the most pristine hiking environments in North America. Canadian Mountain Holidays, the world’s largest heli-hiking and heli-skiing company, is offering a deal to entice you. If you book your stay at their Bobbie Burns and Bugaboo lodges by June 15, they’ll give you a $75 credit per night–to be used for anything from a post-hike massage to cocktails at the bar. And if you don’t like your experience, the company will refund you 100%. (They’re that confident you’ll have a good time.) You can take our word for it, too. Mountain Living’s Tanya Cantu has been on a CMH Heli-Hiking adventure, and she brought back a story to tell (read about it in the May/June issue of Mountain Living, on newsstands April 28th).
