Southern Arizona has made a name for itself when it comes to relaxation and rejuvenation—specifically massage. With its resort spas, outdoor recreation activities, and its stunning landscape, Arizona continues to top the list of spa destinations for A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey and Sharon Stone.

Throughout Southern Arizona, but especially Tucson, a range of wonderful spa options exist. Choices between all-inclusive spa experiences to just an a-la-carte situation keep things tailored to exactly what each individual needs. Here are a few of the amazing Southern Arizona spas to visit for the best massage.

Aji Spa at Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass

Dip into the ancient cultures of Arizona by experiencing a spa menu that showcases Native American practices for body rejuvenation and relaxation. The treatments, activities, and practices are only added to the spa menu after being subjected to a complicated approval process. Specific treatments are offered by Aji’s Pima and Maricopa Cultural Care Takers to ensure authenticity and respect of sacred doctrines.

The Aji Spa, named “sanctuary” in the Pima language, extends over 17,500 square feet. The area includes a traditional American Indian roundhouse, Watsu pool, a fitness center, and a salon. To pay respect to its Native American influence, the spa showcases the cultures of the Pima and Maricopa tribes through architecture and artwork.

Spa Treatment Highlight: Thoachta (“Healing” by Belen Stoneman)

This treatment is a combination of massage, polarity, and ancient Pima healing doctrines. Starting with a short consultation, Belen Stoneman listens to what you have to say but then turns to your body to learn what else it needs. The massage closes with Belen sharing with you what your body and spirit communicated with her.
