Why Scottsdale Works

Scottsdale offers the perfect mix for big groups: gorgeous desert landscapes, spacious rentals, world-class spas, walkable nightlife districts, and endless poolside relaxation options. Old Town Scottsdale is energetic and lively, Arcadia is stylish and central, and Downtown Phoenix adds an urban twist with culture and breweries.

The region is also easy to reach via Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), making arrival smooth for groups flying in from different destinations.

The Bad Girls Yoga Experience

Scottsdale’s desert mornings and warm sunsets make it one of the best cities in the country for a Yoga Party. A private group yoga and Pilates class brings movement, connection, and a little bit of luxury to your weekend — perfect before brunch, after a big night out, or as a grounding moment between activities.

Your instructor arrives directly at your Airbnb, rental home, rooftop, or backyard with mats, music, a feel-good flow, and the signature rosé toast. It’s the ultimate mix of relaxation and celebration.

Choose the Right Home Base

Scottsdale has several neighborhoods that work well for large groups, especially in summer when you’ll want easy access to pools, air-conditioning, and indoor activities.

Old Town Scottsdale

The most popular choice for bachelorette groups. Walkable, vibrant, packed with bars, brunch spots, and nightlife. Great for groups looking for a party-forward weekend with everything close by.

Arcadia

Trendy, central, and full of great restaurants. Perfect for a more laid-back but still stylish group vibe. Homes here often have amazing pools and mountain views.

Downtown Phoenix

Best for groups who want a mix of culture and convenience. Close to arenas, breweries, rooftops, museums, and great food.

Plan for the Heat

Scottsdale in summer is no joke — 100°F+ is the baseline. Lean into activities that work with the heat, not against it:

Book a house with an oversized pool and shaded outdoor space
Plan indoor activities during peak sun (12–5 PM)
Use mornings and evenings for outdoor fun
Choose restaurants with strong AC or misted patios

Hydration, sunscreen, and cooling towels will be your best friends.

Lean Into Pool & Water Experiences

Big groups love these because they’re fun, easy to coordinate, and perfect for the heat.

Private pool party at your rental
Hotel pool cabanas (The Scott, W Scottsdale, Hotel Valley Ho)
Lazy river day at The Westin Kierland
Salt River tubing for a chaotic, very memorable float
Lake Pleasant boat day with a pontoon or party boat
Evening pool hangouts with fairy lights and a playlist
Water is your theme — and your survival plan.
