  • 2010 | Best Spa

    The Golden Door Spa has day rates, sure, but why do that when you can take advantage of cool summer rates and escape the city for a getaway in a place called CarefreeRoom rates run as low as $119, and the mandatory $27 "resort fee," for once, is totally worth it at The Golden Door. It includes all of your tipping, valet parking, Internet access, and, most importantly, admission to the Spa.Take a desert drive out to Carefree in the afternoon and enjoy a night in one of the Boulders'...

  • 2008 | Best Spa

    It probably would be therapy enough just to visit the Boulders, an elegant resort set in a particularly lovely part of Carefree, on a landscape with massive clumps of brownish-red rock and lush desert life. But once we've driven that far north, there is no way we're not going to make a stop at the Golden Door Spa. The massage and treatments are beyond compare -- our companion swears that he's never had such a good Thai massage, and we couldn't stop raving about the citrus scrub. Even if... More »

  • 2006 | BEST BODY WRAP

    The Turquoise Wrap at the Golden Door Spa at The Boulders in Carefree is 50 minutes of pure bliss. Allow us to explain. It might sound weird, but really, stop a moment. Take a deep breath.

    It probably would be therapy enough just to visit the Boulders, an elegant resort set in a particularly lovely part of Carefree, on a landscape with massive clumps of brownish-red rock and lush desert life. But once we've driven that far north, there is no way we're not going to make a stop at the Golden Door Spa.

Even if you're not a spa junkie, it's worth it to sign up for a treatment just to get pool access. Lying on a soft towel, giant rocks and desert all around you, you might even trick yourself into thinking you've made it to Heaven — without that nasty dying bit.
