Worldmark Phoenix South Mountain Preserve Condo Vacation Rentals

The Worldmark Phoenix Resort at South Mountain Preserve is fully remodeled and all units completely refurbished, with work completed in February 2013. Recently acquired by Worldmark, the resort was formerly known as Raintree Desert Arroyo or Aristar.

Located in the midst of the Sonoran Desert, with access to the South Mountain Wilderness Preserve, this resort is a nature lover’s paradise! Visit the nearby Desert Botanical Gardens or hike the nearby Apache Trail. The Red Rocks of Sedona and Montezuma Castle are just two hours away! And if you’re looking for a great day trip just hop in the car and visit the majestic Grand Canyon, located approximately four hours from the resort.

Looking for something a little closer by? The city of Phoenix is filled with fun things to do. The Old Town Scottsdale Historic District is only 20 minutes away and features great shopping with local merchants and art galleries. You can also visit the Heard Museum founded in 1929, to learn more about the American Indian arts and culture or check out the Phoenix Zoo, just a short car ride away.

We know you’ll love this beautiful oasis, with all the great comforts of home!
