Summer in the Sonoran Desert takes on a refreshing new rhythm at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, thanks to the introduction of AquaNights Summer – a dazzling series of evening adventures designed to cool you down and light up the nights.
While the sun sets over the saguaro-studded landscape, the excitement is just getting started. The resort’s famed lazy river and exhilarating water slides stay open late every evening, giving guests the unique chance to float and splash beneath the desert stars.
AquaNights Summer isn’t just about the extended pool hours; it’s a full lineup of nighttime fun and themed events that turn every evening into a memory. Each night brings something new: Sundays feature the lively Glow Bubble Bash, while Mondays light up with Glow Putt Golf.
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, inflatable water slides add extra thrills. Thursdays bring high-energy Character Dance Parties, and the week wraps up with Neon Lights at AquaNights on Fridays and Saturdays, turning the pool area into a colorful, glowing oasis.
Of course, all this summer fun is complemented by some of the best dining in Phoenix. Whether you’re indulging in modern Southwestern cuisine at Tía Carmen or exploring the bold Asian flavors of Kembara – both led by celebrity Chef Angelo Sosa – you’ll find meals as memorable as your evenings.
For more casual options, relax poolside with delicious bites from AquaRidge, enjoy arcade games and pizza at Copper Alley, unwind at Spa Bistro at Revive Spa, or dine at Meritage at Wildfire Golf Club.Whether you’re planning a family vacation, romantic getaway, or local staycation, AquaNights Summer at JW Marriott Desert Ridge is your ticket to sun-kissed days and sparkling desert nights.
