    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

    This is my second visit with CIVANA. Overall a very good experience. The spa is nice and the rooms…read moreare pretty comfortable. I think my favorite part of my visit had to be the classes in particular the fengu shi and numerology class. I definitely can't wait to go home and try some of the things I learned in these classes. I personally didn't want to leave the resort, so I opted for the all inclusive package that included daily spa credit. This to me is a nice option to not have to think about what I'll eat. I also opted in purchasing the shuttle to CIVANA. It was an extra cost that most resorts normally include in total pricing, but it was fine. They have an option to do a time shuttle or pay for private shuttle service as well.

In addition, I did a 20 minute meditation, and that was very peaceful also was treated to facial lymphatic scrub. I really enjoyed that. Overall, we had a really good time at this event, which also featured an opportunity to come back to try a full service product. I'm torn between wanting to do a massage or doing a full service facial. So looking forward to setting that up. What I will say is the spa has a lot of activities outside of your treatments so if you're going to be booking a spa day, make sure you check the calendar to see what other offerings that they have. Very excited for an upcoming spa day and will update my review once I get a full treatment. I will recommend that if you see Savannah after dark pop-up again, it is a really nice way to tour the facilities and get in some mini treatments to see if you would like to come back for the full spa day. I am sold and I can't wait to go up there and just relax.

The spa is beautifully set among billion-year-old boulders, creating an immediate sense of calm the moment you arrive. The spa features separate men's and women's locker rooms, 24 treatment rooms, and a spa café, all thoughtfully designed to blend into the desert landscape. The outdoor amenities truly set this spa apart. From the meditation labyrinth and shamanic tipi to the pool, whirlpool, reflecting pond, and organic garden, every space invites you to slow down and be present. It feels spiritual without being forced, peaceful without being boring. Spa services range from massages and facials to body treatments and aromatherapy. The locker room offers a wet and dry sauna, with two meditation rooms. I ended the day in the luxurious shower, then spent quiet time in the meditation room, which was the perfect grounding experience before leaving. The spa café is an underrated perk--offering everything from coffee to cocktails depending on your mood. Most importantly, the staff was exceptional: warm, professional, and attentive. They checked in on us by the pool just enough to make us feel cared for, never rushed or overwhelmed. This is the kind of spa experience that stays with you long after you leave. Absolutely worth the visit--and the return.

My massage therapist was TJ who listened to all my concerns & was able to concentrate on all my trouble areas and was able to work all the knots out!! Also luved the aromatherapy aspect of the massage. After my appointment I was able to go use the spa amenities-sauna, pool, steam room & jacuzzi. I luved relaxing in the meditation room. I also had a really transformative facial. MaryAnn was an absolute miracle worker with my dehydrated skin and suggested several treatments that left me with a refreshed youthful appearance that looked amazing and surprisingly no redness downtime!!! I will definitely schedule another facial in a few months when I come back to carefree, AZ!! This spa was an absolute hidden gem!! Call if you get lost b/c the GPS is not so accurate in directions.

Unfortunately, the front desk experience was so poor that it completely ruined the visit. I had a valid gift certificate purchased for me two years ago that was attached to an email. At checkout, the front desk employee, Nicole, immediately became argumentative instead of helpful. I provided my email, my phone number, my daughter's email, two additional phone numbers, and even spelled the emails out twice. I repeatedly asked for one minute to search my records, and she would not stop interrupting or pressing me. She insisted they "only issue physical gift cards," which was not how mine was purchased. The interaction became confrontational and unprofessional. Eye-rolling, dismissive tone, and refusal to simply pause and look further created an unnecessarily hostile situation. Instead of leaving relaxed after a 90-minute massage, I left feeling pressured and upset. I ultimately paid again just to get out of the building. What makes this worse is that the moment I got to my car, my daughter immediately located the purchase confirmation under the exact email I had provided -- meaning the credit did exist exactly as I said. It is extremely disappointing when the quality of the service inside the room is undone by poor customer service at the front desk. Basic patience and professionalism would have solved this in under a minute. Instead, it turned into an avoidable negative experience.
