About
Canyon Ranch Tucson is the original — the wellness resort that effectively invented the destination spa category when Mel Zuckerman opened it in 1979 in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. What began as a place to lose weight and recover health has evolved into the world's most comprehensive integrated wellness resort, with over 40 medical and wellness specialists on staff and a program that addresses physical, mental, spiritual, and nutritional health simultaneously. The spa facility spans over 80,000 square feet and includes Finnish sauna, steam rooms, and thermal pools, while the desert landscape offers the outdoor contrast of extreme heat and cool mountain air. All-inclusive rates cover all meals, health assessments, fitness classes, and most treatments. Canyon Ranch essentially wrote the playbook that every wellness resort in the world now follows.
