Make the Most of Your Marana Stay

Desert luxury meets outdoor adventure

Marana has evolved from its agricultural roots into a sophisticated desert destination where luxury resorts anchor a landscape of dramatic mountain trails and ancient Sonoran beauty. The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain features indigenous materials like mud adobe walls and mesquite flooring, while the surrounding Tortolita Mountains offer 29 miles of trails ranging from 2,800 to 4,300 feet in elevation. The town's "desert chic" aesthetic integrates contemporary architecture into the landscape, honoring both its 4,000-year history and modern ambitions.

Golf, cuisine and mountain access

The Golf Club at Dove Mountain, former host of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, attracts serious players, while CORE Kitchen & Wine Bar showcases regional Sonoran cuisine. Business travelers appreciate proximity to Tucson International Airport (30 minutes south) and Marana Regional Airport for private aviation. The town's I-10 location provides quick access to Saguaro National Park and Mount Lemmon.

Exploring beyond the resort

A rental car proves essential for navigating Marana's spread-out geography, opening up remarkable day trips—from wildflower displays at Picacho Peak to Biosphere 2. Members can apply miles toward accommodations in Dove Mountain for both refined resort amenities and authentic desert exploration.
