The desert Southwest is full of splendor. From the vast desert mesas and jagged mountain terrain, to the seemingly infinite valleys replete with desert creatures and fauna – there is plenty to admire and experience.

One such destination in Fountain Hills, Arizona has all of the aforementioned qualities plus an extra little “something”
 – the CopperWynd Resort and Club. This intimate boutique inn is just a stone’s throw from civilization, but feels worlds away.

The property overlooks the town of Fountain Hills and at night you can see for miles from their award-winning fine-dining restaurant, Alchemy. The food here is nothing short of incredible and the service is on par with the cuisine. With twinkling stars above, sparkling city lights down below and romantic candle-light surrounding you, the experience exudes romance, making it ideal for a destination wedding.

There are many options for engaged couples looking to tie the knot.  A stunning wedding lawn overlooking the mountains and golf course below is an ideal place to say your destination “I do’s” and a private room with floor-to-ceiling windows to celebrate and dance the night away couldn’t be a more perfect fit.

The spa, swimming pool and activities menu at the health club top this experience off like a cherry on a sundae. It’s a 20-minute drive to Scottsdale so if you plan to stay for several days, there is plenty to do nearby besides hiking, golfing and indulging in their spa.

For couples looking for a U.S. destination which has all the romance and splendor they could need, paired with close proximity to the city, CopperWynd Resort is just the place.
