VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Surrounded by saguaros at the foot of the Tortolita Mountains just outside Tucson, The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is a luxury camp in the high desert.

The sprawling resort is a destination in its own right, boasting more than 20 miles of hiking trails, three pools, an idyllic spa featuring eco-friendly and holistic treatments and a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course.

Thanks to a recent $10 million renovation, the Tucson resort is more luxurious than ever. With 14 brand-new, mountain-facing fire pit rooms; an arcade complete with video games and theater chairs; and a completely refreshed pool deck, there’s really no reason to leave the property.

The Sonoran Desert is the attraction in this harmonious place where you’ll find every amenity under the sun.
