HEALING FOCUS
Feeling ‘overweight, sendentary and desperate’, in 1978 Mel Zuckerman checked himself into a ‘fat farm’ for 10 days of physical training and healthy eating. That experience irrevocably changed his life and inspired him to help others do the same. In 1979, Mel and his wife Enid opened the first Canyon Ranch destination resort spa in Tuscon, Arizona.
Today Canyon Ranch is recognized as the gold standard for healthy vacations, through its mission ‘to inspire people to make a commitment to healthy living, turning hopes and intentions into the highest enjoyment of life’.
Canyon Ranch Tucson’s integrative approach to wellness encompasses a vast menu of health, fitness and pampering services with life-enhancing programs that draw on a blend of Eastern and Western traditions.

ABOUT
Set amongst the exotic desert canyons, iconic saguaro cacti and pine-topped mountains of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert and Santa Catalina Mountains, Canyon Ranch Tucson was once the heart of a large, working cattle ranch, and then, from the ‘30s through the ‘70s, a rustic guest ranch.
Since then Mel and Enid Zuckerman have transformed the ranch from what was originally a family-run health resort into a world-leading destination spa.
Canyon Ranch Tucson is the perfect year-round destination to breathe in the clear desert air, soak up the sunshine and come back to one self. With more than 400 fitness, educational and fun activities to choose from every week – including spa treatments, medical and alternative therapies, creative pursuits and spiritual wellness programs – you’ll leave feeling inspired, enlivened and motivated to achieve your personal life and wellness goals.
