I love the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia. It has that flavor and essence of Spain. It is romantic and relaxing. I’ve written several times about the relaxing Moroccan-inspired Joya Spa. The food is fabulous. But now there are five great ways to feel even better about your visit to the gorgeous resort.

Say Goodnight to Hunger

Start off your trip on the charitable side.

When you book directly at OmniHotels.com, Omni Hotels & Resorts will make a donation to Feeding America that will provide a family of four dinner for an entire week.

Volunteer Vacations

Take a trip you’ll be proud of! During your stay at the Omni Scottsdale, join in serving the community as you volunteer to alleviate hunger at the world’s first food bank, St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.

Hunger Heroes Food Drive

Be the solution and Say Goodnight to Hunger once and for all with your donation to local food pantry, St. Mary’s of Phoenix. Stop by Crave Café to donate your non-perishable food items and join in their efforts to alleviate hunger.

Shop for a Cause

Who doesn’t love shopping until they drop…especially when it’s for a good cause! Gather your friends and family and invite them to your own personal shopping experience to Joya Spa Boutique or Dulcinea benefitting your non-profit organization.

Celebrate the passing of the seasons with the traditional practice of 108 Sun Salutations to mark the end of one season and the arrival another. Flow with our talented instructors every Solstice and Equinox while your gaze settles on picturesque Camelback Mountain in front of you. After your inspiring practice, join your fellow yogis for one complimentary sangria and shopping in Crave Café.
