Thank you to the Phoenix CVB and the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort at Gainey Ranch and Spa Avania for making it possible for me to share this experience with you. All opinions are my own.
There’s something very special to me about spending time at a spa. Disconnecting from the world for several hours and making it selfishly all about me is just glorious, and I don’t do it often enough. I am a spa brat, but not a snob. I mean, I have to say, any spa will do for me, but get me on a table for some type of treatment, and overall I am easy to please.
Being spoiled fortunately enough to spend time at the luxurious Spa Avania at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale has made me re-think the “any spa will do” mentality.
Upon entering into the facility you know you are in for something special. With a light lunch awaiting, and then a tour of all the amazing amenities Spa Avainia has to offer, I was more than ready for my treatments.
I opted for two treatments. First I got the Magnetic Ritual 60 minute Body Treatment. This treatment includes a scrub if you will, of a luminous diamond-dust powder made from crushed diamonds. This polishes the skin and is then removed with magnets to rebalance natural internal energy. This is just awesome. I wish I could have a video of the masseuse doing the treatment on me. But this YouTube video will give you an idea.
Watch around 1:30 – 1:45 to get an idea how this process works.
The next treatment I had was the 60 minute deep tissue massage. I was comatose by the end. I don’t know of another time recently that I have been so relaxed. It was simply perfect.
Against the vibrant hues of the Arizona desert comes the first Scottsdale spa resort where every detail has been seamlessly choreographed to the science of time. A uniquely holistic approach that bases your total-immersion experience on the inescapably cyclical needs of your body at key periods of the day. At Spa Avania, we’ve blended personalized treatment offerings, mineral water therapy, uniquely synchronized music styling, diet, and the antioxidant blessings of the world’s finest teas into an artful indoor-outdoor oasis.
Spa Avania features 19 treatment rooms offering 62 different treatments, an outdoor French Celtic Mineral Pool, a lotus pond, relaxation areas, exercise facilities, steam and sauna, hot and cold plunges, a full service salon and an on-site fitness instructor, providing structured classes, group instruction and personal training.
The French Celtic Mineral Pool was new to me. It has been said that Mineral Pools offer many health benefits, including musculoskeletal problems, such as joint paint, muscle fatigue, tissue damage, arthritis and ligament damage. It’s also been known to help with skin problems, digestive issues and even high blood pressure.
After spending about 10 minutes relaxing in the thick water, I can’t say I felt any amazing health benefit. But, I was relaxed and my skin felt silky smooth. Spending time at a spa is extra special when you get to spend it with friends. I was super lucky to be with some of my best friends on our girl trip with the #BloggersGo Phoenix trip.

That place looks so amazing! After the day I had, I would love to spend even a few hours there!
I LOVE getting massages – such a special treat
You know it’s a great massage when you’re comatose at the end…lol!
You had massage. With diamonds! WOW – fancy pants!!!! (Jealous!)
A good tip, find a service that offers both a
massage and beauty therapy. When renovating your spa, use lumber and fabric, more than metal or leather
fixtures. So every search for the day spa in Auckland can be ended when you can find the bright name in this spa world the Spa Ayurda.
I not to mention my pals appeared to be checking the nice points on the website and unexpectedly I had an awful suspicion I never thanked the site owner for those secrets. All the young men were for that reason thrilled to see all of them and have now sincerely been taking advantage of them. Thanks for being really considerate and for opting for certain wonderful subject areas most people are really desperate to discover. My very own sincere apologies for not saying thanks to sooner.
