Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Stay, Tucson

Available as an add-on to our longer Arizona itineraries, this is your chance to experience the beauty and wildlife of Arizona's Sonoran Desert, staying at Hacienda del Sol – a luxury Tucson guest ranch resort, idyllically located at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountain Range.

With the city still close at hand, and the wilderness on your doorstep, you'll enjoy the best of traditional southwestern hospitality, coupled with fine food and drink, a raft of top-class amenities and the chance to get out and explore on a selection of optional outdoor and urban activities. There's everything from horseback and mountain bike rides through the wilderness to guided canyon tours, desert hikes and city sightseeing.

Then, back at base, you'll have ample time to wind down, with comfortable accommodation inspired by the old west, and dining options that showcase the very best in innovative American cuisine. You'll also find all the trappings you'd expect from an upscale, luxury resort – think swimming pools and Jacuzzis with sweeping mountain views, an on-site gym and a decadent spa.

There are two- and three-night extensions available, and our specialists are on hand to tailor-make your Tucson stay, with two itineraries below designed to get you inspired.
