Sanctuary villas undergo name change, renovations

Posted

Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa recently unveiled the results of a series of renovations and refreshments of its private villa collection.

Rebranded as The Villas at Sanctuary, these eight mountain homes offer full access to Sanctuary’s resort amenities, from the Sanctuary Spa to dining at elements restaurant and jade bar to a wide array of recreational activities, according to a press release.

Now known as Villa del Sol, Villa Roca, Villa Terraza, Villa Montana, Villa Mesa, Villa Luna, Villa Norte and Villa Ventana, the eight villas occupy more than an acre of land each and feature amenities ranging from private pools and jacuzzis to wrap-around terraces and home theaters.

Several have undergone changes in the past year ranging from complete transformations to small remodeling.

Phoenix designer Lynne Beyer renovated Villa Luna, formerly Casa 10, to showcase the vistas from its perch on Camelback Mountain.

The 5,500-square-foot five-bedroom, four-bathroom villa features a master suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, a private indoor and outdoor shower with oversized soaking tub, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, two powder rooms, a gourmet kitchen, staircases and original stone travertine flooring.

Ms. Beyer has reconfigured the interior, moving the living area to face a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with swiveling chairs, while the dining room has been moved alongside the fireplace to create an inviting setting for dinner parties and family meals.

Ms. Beyer also transformed the outdoor wrap-around patio into an open-air living space and added a hot tub and water feature to the master bedroom patio. The master shower opens out to a view of the fountain and a pool will be added next year.

Villa Roca, formerly Gallery, also features the work of Ms. Beyer with new exterior paint, all new flooring, artwork and updated furnishings inspired by the Scandinavian contemporary aesthetic.

Ms. Beyer has rearranged rooms to create an inviting flow throughout and installed seven-foot plank porcelain tile flooring with the look of hardwood. The shower has retained its original pebble flooring.

A secluded, 2,800-square-foot getaway, Tennis player Ken Rosewall used to Villa Roca, which features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, living, dining and kitchen areas and private pool with two decks.

Villa Ventana, formerly Hi Lob, has been renovated by its owner and reintroduced to Sanctuary’s collection as Camelback Mountain’s crown jewel, a release claims.

Villa Ventana sits at the highest point on Camelback Mountain, affording guests 270-degree views of Praying Monk, Mummy Mountain, Four Peaks and other points of interest. The villa also features a suspended patio.

New flooring, furnishings and artwork grace its two master suites, stunning renovated kitchen, indoor-outdoor living space, private pool, infinity-edge hot tub and separate studio-style guest house with bedroom, full bathroom and wet bar.

Villa del Sol, formerly Spa House, is a unique guest enclave dedicated to complete wellness, with spa-centric amenities. The 3,500-square-foot, four-bedroom villa accommodates up to eight guests and features a treatment room for massages (spacious enough for couples) and a movement studio for private classes and personal training.

For larger groups, four additional Terrace Casitas are available for rent adjacent to the villa. Its exclusive amenities range from Sanctuary Superpower minibars to in-room services and transformative wellness programming.
