Luxury Resorts: The highly-anticipated Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is the newest luxury resort to hit the Tucson area. With the imposing Tortolita Mountains as a backdrop, the 250-room resort is situated just northwest of Tucson, in the charming town of Marana.

Spanning 850 lush Sonoran Desert acres, the property is poised to become a favorite among both adventure and luxe-minded travelers. The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain offers a wide array of adventure programming, more than 20 miles of hiking and biking trails, and is set to host the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championships each spring. Additional recreational activities include access to The White Stallion Ranch, a 27-hole Signature Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus, four tennis courts, and a 235-foot waterslide and adventure pool.

While the resort offers a diverse blend of Southwestern-style adventure, when it comes to luxury, the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain delivers. Just some of the lavish on-site amenities include the Ritz-Carlton Club Level, an eco-holistic destination spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an Infinity Edge Spa Pool with a unique 10-foot tanning island.

The resort features 250 beautifully appointed guestrooms and suites, including 44 individual casita suites and a 2,100-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Suite. Each room is tastefully outfitted in Southwestern décor, with Mesquite woods, richly-hued fabrics, and light stones throughout. In addition to offering modern conveniences and natural design elements, each room offers panoramic views of the nearby mountain ranges, the Tortolita Foothills, and the Wild Burro Canyon.

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain provide the ultimate luxury lifestyle experience, as owners are afforded all the comforts of home, as well as access to the resort’s world-class amenities. Owners can choose from eight highly-customized home plans, three attached villa plans, or even build their own dream home on the property’s custom estate homesites, which are sized from one-half to seven acres.

With its pristine high-desert location and Southwestern ambiance, Dove Mountain — like each Ritz-Carlton property — is dedicated to providing its guests five-star treatment and superior standards of service. See all Luxury Hotels in North America
