You’ll soak up Native-American culture -- not to mention the ubiquitous Arizona sun -- in every corner of this family-friendly “GeoGreen” resort owned and corun with the Sheraton by the local Pima and Maricopa tribes.

Tucked between two mountain ranges, the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa in Chandler, Ariz., features a splendid 17,500-square-foot spa, fine restaurants and world-class golf.

Cool for kids

Swimmers will delight in the 111-foot water slide at one of the resort’s four pools. Also on-site: the Koli Equestrian Center, which offers lessons and trail rides. Wait until you see the wild horses that run free across the plains! A ten-minute shuttle-boat ride takes you to Rawhide, an authentically replicated 1880s Western town.

Hot for moms

Rejuvenate at the Aji Spa, offering tribal-influenced treatments. Feast on exceptional cuisine at the resort’s AAA Five Diamond restaurant, Kai, featuring creative Native-American-inspired fare and top service.
