Food is Love

At CIVANA guests have the delightful adventure of enjoying two warmly inviting and wondrously inventive restaurants led by our culinary team. Breakfast and lunch at CIVANA are meant to sustain guests through an active day. Enjoy hyper-seasonal offerings and high vibe food at Seed, CIVANA’s cafe and specialty market.


As the sun begins to set, enjoy a change of venue at Terras, the resort’s signature dinner destination offering a delightfully fresh and modern take on regionally inspired cuisine.

Oh goodness, what am I going to wear?

Civana Wellness Resort and Spa is nestled in the Sonoran Desert, just outside Scottsdale, CIVANA is a new destination wellness resort that offers a regenerating experience to a wide audience of wellness travelers 14 years of age and older, as well as those simply looking for a serene and healthy get-away.

It is super chill, like real chill, so just think resort wear during the day while hanging at the pool and spa, yoga clothes for classes both inside and outside. Bring a sweater as it might get a little chilly at night, but its the desert in May, so make sure your clothes are light and bright...JUST.LIKE.YOU.


ADDITIONAL ITEMS: 

- Tennis Shoes (in-case you want to go on a long walk/hike or bike ride)

- Swimsuits 

- All-White for Sunday Brunch

- A small gift, from where you are from, for someone in the group that reminds you of Mother energy. This can be new and/or gently used. 


Cancellation Policy

There are no refunds 


Our cancellation policy is strict and explicit. Due to the financial responsibility of the retreat hosts for booking and holding the retreat property, all payments are non-refundable once paid. It is recommended that the traveler has a travel insurance policy in the rare event that cancellation on the traveler’s end is unavoidable (Allianz and Travel Guard have good options).


Again, Travel Insurance is not required however it is strongly STRONGLY recommending given today's world and beyond.


Thank you for understanding our policy. 

Covid-19 Protocol

Your health and safety is the main priority. To that, I am asking everyone to provide proof of vaccination and/or show a negative Covid test in the last 48hrs before you check in. The health and safety of everyone who attends is my number one priority, as well as, Civana's so thank you for understanding. 


Please note: this is not something the resort is requiring, it's specific to our group so that we can all be comfortable being in community with each other. 


Again, thank you for understanding and I trust this will be a beautiful time had by all and as Civana states, "from embracing nature’s playground with increased outdoor wellness offerings, to *limiting spa capacity; providing enhanced dining experiences that ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience, our commitment to helping you leave happier and healthier than when you arrived remains our focus."

Reviews

We had a wonderful experience. We ate delicious food, stayed in a luxurious space, and received the most awesome swag bag. None of that compares to the community we built and the deeply spiritual mooring that occurred individually. Through movement, meditation, and seated soul sessions I was able to come home to myself and trust Spirit more. I am thankful that Ace and Thea do their own personal work so they were able act as guides on my journey to greater authenticity. Bet on yourself and sign up for a retreat.
