Mountain Shadows Resort Is a Desert Oasis Perfect for Some Fun in the Sun
Arizona and the summer season are a match made in heaven, bringing together panoramic sunsets, pristine blue skies, stunning mountain views and a sense of laid-back luxury. And we don’t know about you, but we’re itchin’ for some sunshine and pool time.
These are several reasons we’re beyond excited to spend some time at the scenic and iconic Mountain Shadows Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. Sitting right up against the rosy rocks of the Camelback Mountains just outside of Scottsdale, Mountain Shadows combines all the natural beauty of the Arizona desert with the ambiance and luxury of a boutique resort.
Whether relaxing by their sprawling pool area, grabbing drinks in their vintage-style living room lobby or hitting the links on their 18-hole golf course (named one of the best par 3 courses in America), Mountain Shadows is sure to help satiate any cravings for a bit of fun in the sun. We’re giving you the scoop on the amazing amenities, events, and offerings available at this iconic Scottsdale resort this summer.
Memorial Day Weekend Festivities
Having trouble deciding the best time to visit this Scottsdale resort? While the entire summer season is sure to impress, Memorial Day weekend will undoubtedly be a highlight.

Poolside Live Music at The Citizens Club
Mountain Shadows’ pool area on its own is incredible. Sprawling cabanas and daybeds, views of the neighboring mountains and, of course, all the shimmering Arizona sunshine one could ever want all combine to make this one of the resort’s best amenities. But this summer, they’re taking it a step further by adding a live poolside DJ-saxophone duo performance to serenade guests as they kick back and bask in the sun. Through the 4th of July, you won’t want to miss out on this unrivaled ambiance upgrade to Mountain Shadows’ beautiful pool area.
Brunch & Learn Series
Brunch while on vacation is a delight unlike any other, but Mountain Shadows takes this beloved in-between meal a step further with their summer Brunch & Learn series. For the entire summer starting in June, this resort in Scottsdale will host a special brunch once a month with one of the resort’s talented chefs. Each meal will center around a specific culinary indulgence or cuisine. While you sip in your seats, the chef will demonstrate how to cook and prepare each special meal, showcasing their passion and technical prowess while sharing some of their culinary knowledge with each guest.

Spirited Sipping Seminars
If an evening tasting is more your vibe, check out Mountain Shadows’ Spirited Sipping Seminars, hosted on-site, one Saturday a month. At each seminar, guests will be introduced to a specific spirit and taken on a guided tasting of that particular beverage.

So whether you are diving into their tequila-focused “Summer-Perfect Margs” discussion or learning how to savor the perfect glass of French rosé, Mountain Shadows is here to help guests expand their palates and enjoy their stay.
Sunset Champagne Sabering
Sipping gourmet champagne while watching the sunset is not only offered at Mountain Shadows—it’s encouraged. This summer, every Friday at 5:30 p.m., guests can enjoy a complimentary tasting on the patio at this Scottsdale resort’s acclaimed restaurant, Hearth ‘61. Sip on Veuve bubbles as you watch the sun paint the sides of the rosy Camelback Mountains before dipping below the horizon.
“This is definitely the summer of bubbles,” says Jim Gallen, food and beverage manager at Mountain Shadows. “Enjoy a glass or bottle on special every summer weekend and hear the story of how Madame Clicquot ran her iconic winery.”
