Paradise Awaits
The reimagined resort greets guests with a giant, blue flip-flop juxtaposed below a chandelier art piece made of margarita glasses. A bright and natural palette breathes a fresh existence into the old building. “We’re keeping the bones and the architecture from the midcentury period, redressing it and giving a new life and new energy with the Margaritaville [theme],” explained Jeff Ouradnik, director of sales and marketing.

St. Somewhere Spa offers traditional treatments and salon services to help guests unwind and decompress. Plus, there’s a state-of-the-art Watsu pool. What’s a Watsu? It’s a form of water therapy providing customized bodywork while the client is immersed in warm water. Ten treatment rooms and over 10,000 square feet of space makes this spa one of the largest in the desert.
