Resorts &
private clubs.
Paradise Valley's luxury resorts and private clubs are integral to the community's identity — shaping its character, lifestyle, and enduring appeal.
Paradise Valley is one of the few luxury communities in America where world-class resorts are woven into the residential fabric — not as tourist destinations, but as part of the neighborhood.
The JW Marriott Camelback Inn
The Camelback Inn, established in 1936, is the most iconic property in Paradise Valley. Now operated as the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, it has hosted presidents, celebrities, and discerning travelers for nearly nine decades. The resort's adobe-style casitas, desert courtyards, and Camelback Mountain views set the tone for the entire community's aesthetic. For Paradise Valley residents, the Camelback Inn is both a neighbor and a benchmark — a reminder of the quality and character that define the area.
Other notable resorts
Beyond the Camelback Inn, Paradise Valley and its immediate surroundings include several other luxury resort properties. The Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain offers a boutique resort experience with dramatic mountain views. The Phoenician, just south of Paradise Valley's border, is one of Arizona's most celebrated luxury resorts. These properties contribute to the community's resort-quality atmosphere and provide dining, spa, and social options for residents.
Private clubs
The Paradise Valley Country Club is the community's most prominent private club, offering golf, dining, tennis, and social programming. Membership is selective and provides access to one of Arizona's finest private golf courses. The club serves as a social hub for many Paradise Valley families and is an important part of the community's social fabric.
Additional club and membership options in the area include the Scottsdale Country Club, the McCormick Ranch Golf Club, and various resort club memberships that provide access to golf, fitness, and event facilities throughout the Scottsdale corridor.
