Alvadora Spa at Royal
Palms Resort and Spa
Royal Palms Resort and Spa is a
small, intimate resort on Camelback
Road, just a few minutes west of Old
Town Scottsdale. The resort began
as a private residence in 1929, built
under towering palm trees in a citrus
grove. This romantic establishment
has winding paths, little romantic
enclaves tucked away throughout
the property, an award-winning
restaurant and the luxurious
Alvadora Spa.
Alvadora Spa is small and intimate,
with just eight Mediterraneanthemed treatment rooms. The
newest spa experience at Alvadora is
called SPA DĒHP (pronounced deep),
which stands for Developed
Expression of Human Potential. SPA
DĒHP is an intensive session that
unlocks emotions and unblocks the
creative flow. It can be a separate
session or part of your other
treatments. You will find a variety
of massages, body treatments and
facials, as well as services at the
salon for hair and nails.
One of the most amazing treatments
is Alvadora’s Signature Citrus Ritual.
One of the best parts of this
treatment is that it is scheduled
in one of the spa’s most inspiring
spaces, Acqua Dolce—a rock-lined
room with private patio. For the
Citrus Ritual, you begin with a full
body exfoliation on a heated stone
table, while water gently cascades
over your body from above. You have
a chance to relax in the private
garden tub and end with an orange
blossom moisturizer.
Unlike some resorts, Alvadora Spa
facilities are available to all guests as
part of its resort fees. You can relax
on a private patio by a roaring fire or
enjoy the outdoor 8-foot waterfall
showers. The fitness center offers
a selection of equipment, daily yoga
classes and you can schedule private
classes. The pool, just steps from the
spa, is open 24 hours.
