Utah’s Red Mountain Resort & Spa has something for all your gal pals (no matter how high or low maintenance), so take a break from the holiday hustle and let the female bonding begin.

You’ve been saying forever that the girls should get away for a vacay, yet no one can decide on a spot, or find the time. The fun-loving Charlotte of the group wants fitness and lots of female bonding; the practical Miranda wants something no-nonsense and not too far from home; the extravagant Samantha wants stunning views and luxurious spa treatments; and the fashionable Carrie wants a bit of each, and a cocktail to wash it all down. Well, you can please all of the above personalities at Red Mountain Resort & Spa, a 55-acre sanctuary in Southwestern Utah that has something for every gal in your group. This holiday season, take a break from the shopping and stressing and treat yourself and the girls to some much-needed Zen.

Let’s start with the setting. A 90-minute scenic drive from Vegas (about seven and a half hours from Phoenix), this Mojave Desert destination spa is set among red sandstone cliffs near Snow Canyon State Park and Zion National Park. Picture postcard-worthy views without a high-rise in sight. Don’t be fooled by the resort’s simple terra cotta-colored buildings. They may blend in with the surroundings, but the accommodations are anything but bland. The 82 recently redesigned guest rooms not only look fabulous, but they feature deep soaking tubs and vanities. Or, upgrade to one of the stylish two-bedroom luxury villas, which have fireplaces, private patios and access to the new negative-edge pool.
