At a glance

The Running Water Spa sits inside the Scottsdale Camelback Resort, offering a straightforward menu of massages, facials, and body treatments aimed at both hotel guests and locals dropping in for the day. The setup takes cues from the Sonoran Desert setting around it, though the core draw is the standard resort-spa service list rather than anything unusual or experimental.
It works for a range of visits: a solo appointment to unwind, a couples treatment, or a small group booking for a bachelorette party or girls' trip. The spa also handles event and group requests directly by email, which suggests they're set up to accommodate parties beyond the typical single-treatment visitor.
Beyond treatments, there's a retail section for take-home products, gift cards (including Spa Week gift cards), and a membership program tied to the broader resort — members get discounts on spa services as well as perks at the resort's restaurant and bar, Splash. This membership angle is worth a look for anyone in Scottsdale often enough to make it pay off.
Hours run 9 AM to 5 PM most days, stretching to 6 PM on Friday and Saturday, though the spa notes that seasonal and holiday hours can shift, so a quick call ahead is a good idea if you're planning around a specific date. Access is available both to resort guests and as a day pass for outside visitors, making it a viable option whether you're staying at the property or just passing through Arcadia.
