where the elements meet

The fires are lit. The water is flowing. The earth is flowering. The sky is limitless. All the elements meet at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

Inspired by the grandeur of the Grand Canyon, JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa redefines the resort experience. Two 18-hole championship golf courses; Marriott's original Revive Spa, a 28,000-square-foot European-style spa and Health Club; and four acres of turquoise swimming pools and shimmering waterways set the mood for a relaxing getaway. Panoramic views of crimson-hued mountains, fiery Arizona sunsets and the picturesque, cactus-studded Sonoran desert add to the resort's serene setting.

The elements of nature – fire, water, earth and sky -- have been woven into the resort's architectural design to let every guest experience the pleasures of the distinctive surroundings.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the sounds of splashing fountains under the sun-dappled porte cochere. Stepping into the expansive tumbled marble lobby, guests are dazzled by the sight of stunning floor-to-ceiling windows opened wide, spilling out onto sparkling waterways and majestic palm-lined pathways.
