    Highly highly recommend the Spa at Civana. This was probably the most relaxing spa experience I've ever had. I love that when you purchase a spa package you have access to the spa for the whole day. The staff here were super accommodating and let us come back the next day to enjoy the spa amenities since we had a late appointment right before the spa closed. There are so many amenities to enjoy within the spa! Take your time and try to do a little bit of everything. They have a lovely waiting room with couches and beds and some light snacks that you can enjoy before your massage. Overall 10/10 I had a beautiful time!

    We spent an incredible day unwinding at Civana Spa, and honestly--it was one of the most refreshing, relaxing experiences we've had in a long time. We kicked things off with the BodyLOVE Joyful Journey class led by Patti, which was such a grounding way to start the day. It set the tone perfectly--intentional movement, mindful breathing, and just the right amount of flow to ease into relaxation. Afterward, we hit the gym, which is well-equipped and super clean. It's a great setup if you want to squeeze in a workout before slipping into full-on spa mode. Then came the real magic--the spa. Upon arrival, you're given a locker, sandals, and a robe for the day, which makes settling in effortless. We rotated between the cold plunge, hot tub, dry sauna, and eucalyptus steam room. I really appreciated that the cold plunge and hot tub were coed so that we could enjoy those spaces together. The only separated area is the steam room, which still felt like a nice quiet moment of solitude. We both booked massages--my fiancé had the Civana Calm, while I chose the Revive to Thrive. Mine was indeed one of the best massages I've ever had. Alden was incredibly intuitive, and the entire session felt personalized and restorative. After that? Straight to the pool. We spent the afternoon lounging under the Arizona sun with absolutely fantastic poolside service. I ordered the Honey Margarita, and wow--this might be one of the best margaritas I've ever tasted. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and came with a chili salt rim and lime wheel that gave it a little kick. The Seared Salmon Tacos were fresh, flavorful, and just the right portion. My fiancé had the Poke Bowl, which was beautifully presented and had a nice little heat to it--but we both thought it could've used a touch of aioli or something creamy on top to tie everything together. From start to finish, Civana nails the experience. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are cozy and thoughtfully designed, and every little detail feels curated for relaxation. Whether you're doing yoga, soaking in a hot tub, sipping craft cocktails by the pool, or getting an incredible massage--you feel taken care of.

    Went for a friends birthday yesterday and we all had the same great experience! My massage was amazing and all the other girls said the same thing. Lunch was so fresh and yummy! Spa pool was intimate with pool side service. Plunge pool both hot and cold was nice. This is a hidden gem in Carefree...and I've been to lots of spas in Scottsdale and this one beats them all!

    Deep tissue massage with James is a -0 out of 10! Easily the best massage I've had absolutely anywhere in the world!! If you really do want sport focused therapy he is the best! I had the buyer by the pool. Very tasty. Good service. The amenities were pack on Sunday. Hotel full so it was hard to find space alone in the spa. Towels all over but they were trying to keep things reasonably replenished.

    Aquavitality Circuit

    If I could give this place 10/5 stars I would. The Civana Spa was the most relaxing experience I have ever had. I visited with a friend, to cap off a weekend escape to Arizona, and was not disappointed. We had stumbled upon Civana online, and had been dreaming about it for weeks leading up to our trip, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Before our spa visit, we explored the resort, and stopped at Civana's Seed Cafe for a snack and drink. Starting off our spa experience, we did the aquavitality circuit: a dip in each tub, to the cold water bucket, and a rest in the sauna. Then, I experienced my first ever massage. It was very relaxing and I felt rejuvenated. My masseuse knew just how to guide me through my first massage, and let my whole body fall into complete relaxation. I felt very comfortable and the atmosphere was very serene. After my massage, my masseuse led me to the relaxation room to wait for my friend. It was perfect weather, and almost sunset, so we sat a while on the deck overlooking the pool. Then, we got to visit the outdoor spa pool, and relax in the cabana beds as the sun set. After our spa visit, we finished off the night with dinner and drinks at Civana's Restaurant, Terras. I would recommend this escape from reality to anyone. Any other spa won't even come close to the Civana experience. COVID Note: we visited November 2020, and were very impressed by their covid safety measures. - Temperature checking as you enter the spa - Staff are masked - Limited occupancy - Extremely clean

    The pool at The Spa

    This is my third time here and I can't believe I've never written a review. But this place is absolutely fantastic. The workers here are all extremely chill, and very helpful. The pool out back is much more serene than the central Civana pool. The Hot-Cold Plunge is my absolute favorite part of this whole trip. There's nothing quite like it. The adrenaline rush, it's so incredible. As for the spa treatments, the therapists are all amazing but super incredible shout out to Jessica, who is amazing. She's very attentive, asks good questions, had a great technique and was so friendly. I don't get a lot of massages, but she was very good at guiding me through the Sports Massage. A+ You can order food from the pool, too. So you don't need to leave to eat at The Seed or Terras. The menu looks abbreviated, but you can actually order anything from either location - even if the Spa menu doesn't list it. One of the best places at Civana.

    A slice of heaven

    I hesitate to write this review because I would love to keep the spa at Civana all to myself. Talk about heaven on Earth. From the minute you step foot on the property you're met an overwhelming sense of serenity and calm. The spa itself is unrivaled. The aqua therapy room will take your breath away (literally)! The salt water pool has amazing views and a private atmosphere. A huge thank you to Rachel and Melissa who went out of their way to make our time with them special. I felt like a celebrity they way they treated us. Thank you!!!

    Enjoyed the Hot and Cold plunge so satisfying

My skin was glowing and feeling great afterwards. The aqua therapy rooms, sauna, and steam room were amazing as well. All of the food was high-quality and delicious. I personally loved the charred octopus appetizer, salmon filets, matcha pancakes, and vegan mac n' cheese. Wanted to shout out Joshua, Kalkidan, and Yolanda at Terras. Your service above and beyond. I feel like we left as friends! The fitness center and group classes were just what I was hoping for. Shoutout to Anton, Mikayla, and Joshua for bringing your energy and programming great workouts. Lastly, shoutout to Sonia at Seed for your kindness and conversation during my visit!

The property is beautiful, quiet, and very clean, with plenty of space to relax. Even though we booked last minute, we were still able to get into several classes and activities, including a few we had been waitlisted for. Our room was also very nice and spotless. What truly stood out was the amazing staff. Kathleen at the front desk kindly helped check my boyfriend in early when my flight was delayed by five hours and the reservation was under my name. We also had a fantastic meal at Terras with Yolanda (highly recommend the Eggplant) and had a blast doing the high ropes course with Abe. The biggest thank you goes to Yessica in housekeeping. On the morning of checkout I unknowingly lost a one-carat diamond earring that even though was insured, I was devastated to have lost. I didn't realize it wasn't in my ear until I was almost at the airport and promptly called the resort. Yessica immediately organized a search, and although it wasn't in our bathroom as I originally thought, her team eventually located it elsewhere on the property near the restaurant/lobby. I am incredibly grateful to Yessica and the CIVANA team for going above and beyond to return something so meaningful. I will absolutely recommend this resort to everyone I know. You will arrived stressed and overstimulated and leave with a sense of calm, connection and with a restored faith in humanity.
