The Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa:
A Luxurious Authentic Arizona™ Resort with Southwestern Charm

Beautiful star-filled nights. Warm days, basking poolside. Romantic dinners. Spectacular sunsets. And, a luxurious oversized casita with outstanding amenities. These are just a few of the charms awaiting guests at the legendary Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa in Litchfield Park, Arizona.

Since 1929, the legendary Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa, nestled on 75 acres of pristine landscape, has been providing the highest quality accommodations, activities, cuisine and service. Just 25 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport and the cultural attractions of downtown Phoenix , the Wigwam’s unique, garden-like setting seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere where guests can shed their cares and rediscover the romance in their lives.

Here, guests will find acres of lush green lawns, fragrant flower gardens and shady citrus groves surrounding The Wigwam’s quaint village of guest casitas. The 331 private casitas are ideal for both romantic getaways and extended vacations, featuring large comfortable beds, oversized baths, walk-in closets and tasteful, distressed wood furnishings that accentuate the resort’s elegant southwestern ambiance. Each casita also features a secluded patio or balcony where guests can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or a spectacular Arizona sunset in the evening.

And the assortment of recreational activities truly sets The Wigwam apart, from the famed Wigwam Golf Club to the outstanding tennis facilities to a brand new, full service Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon & Spa.
