Travel + Leisure magazine announced the 2024 winners of the annual World’s Best Awards, and on the list of the best resorts in Arizona, Castle Hot Springs came out on top.

The awards were voted on by more than 185,000 readers, according to the magazine, who cast 700,000 votes for hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines and more.

"The first-place Arizona resort was also the state’s original wellness retreat, founded in the late 19th century and later visited by the likes of the Rockefellers and Roosevelts," reads the text accompanying the award. "Castle Hot Springs, which moved up from No. 2 last year, offers 30 standalone cabins and cottages on 1,100 acres an hour north of Phoenix — a location chosen back in the 1890s for its natural hot springs high in magnesium and lithium, which now feed the resort’s three geothermal pools."

In addition to the hot springs, the resort offers a wide range of amenities and complimentary activities, including tours, lawn games, guided hikes, sound meditation and more.
