Trip Ideas

A Scottsdale friends trip, getting the group back together.

The hard part of a friends trip is rarely the destination. It is getting eight busy adults to agree on dates, budget and who gets which room. Scottsdale makes the rest easy, with direct flights to Phoenix for many groups, winter sun and something for golfers and non-golfers alike.

The house

Paradise Reserve sleeps up to 16 in six bedrooms, five of them king suites with their own bathroom, so a big family can stay under one roof. It has a chef’s kitchen and formal dining for shared meals, an outdoor BBQ and covered patio, a pool and spa, a golf simulator, a putting green and a pickleball court. Events and parties are not permitted at the house, and quiet hours apply.

Frequently asked questions

Three or four nights is usually enough, and it is easier for busy people to commit to.
