The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain Offers Spring Luxury Packages

With abundant sunshine, daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s, and serene blue skies, spring is a favorite among visitors to the region.

The two new packages include benefits available only through May 22, 2014, with both providing access to a true luxury getaway. Situated in a striking high Sonoran desert setting, the 850-acre Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is surrounded by dramatic foothills and a lush and rare Saguaro cactus forest, and it lies just adjacent to the award-winning Golf Club at Dove Mountain – home to the recent World Golf Championship Accenture Match Play tournament, starring the top pros of the game. The adventure and spa destination is currently featured on the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List as the #1 resort in Arizona.

Priced from $349 per night, Spring Break at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain includes:

• Luxury accommodations
• A daily $50 resort credit

Priced from $379 per night, the Spring Returns package provides:
• Luxury accommodations
• A daily $100 resort credit

The included resort credits are provided for each night of a stay on each of the two offerings and may be used for dining, spa, adventure, children's programs or recreation activities, excluding golf.

Springtime highlights of The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain include weekend hand-crafted sushi in the lobby, the nostalgic Roadrunner food truck tailgate experience which plies the resort grounds serving ice cream treats and light fare, and the introduction of new Poolside Technology Butler service, providing roving charging and screen cleaning service for connected poolside guests.

Further favorites are the resort's three swimming pools, one of which features a 235-foot water slide and splash pad, and one offering its own tanning island and outdoor spa cabanas. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dove Mountain has been ranked by Condé Nast Traveler as the #3 resort spa in the continental United States, and it has just announced a new menu of spring spa experiences inspired by the invigorating delights of rosemary and peppermint. The spring Revive Treatments include a rosemary and peppermint massage, body wrap, facial and leg and foot ritual, complemented by added seasonal indulgences for face, body, beauty and wellness.

As a special opportunity for guests staying on March 31, June 30, September 29 or December 29, 2014, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain has partnered with The Primavera Foundation, an Arizona community organization providing individuals and families in-need with pathways to economic self-sufficiency. On these four dates, guests are invited to join The Ritz-Carlton chefs in the resort kitchen to help prepare a family-style meal for 110 residents of the Primavera Men's Shelter in Tucson. Under chef supervision, participants will prepare the meal and have the option to join the resort culinary team in delivering and serving the meals at the Primavera Foundation's nearby facilities. This quarterly Give Back Getaway community service activity is complimentary for participants staying at the resort.

Named by Travel Leisure as one of the top 100 resorts in the world and one of the top 30 family travel properties in the world, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is located between Phoenix/Scottsdale and Tucson and is accessible from the international airports serving both of those cities.
