Family travelers looking for a retreat before expanding their family needn’t look any further than W Scottsdale’s luxury amenities, soothing offerings and delicious culinary options, all set amidst the beautiful Sonoran Desert. It’s the perfect spot to “babymoon.”

 

First things first, expectant parents can beat the heat by relaxing in the Cool Corner Suite, a spacious studio-style loft; taking a dip at the rooftop WET Deck, Arizona’s only chilled pool; lounging in a private pool-side cabana in the shade; and enjoying ice-cold, zero-ABV beverages in The Living Room, a lounge with live music Thursday–Saturday from 9 p.m.

At AWAY Spa, babymooners can indulge in treatments including the 50-minute Mother to be Massage, specifically designed for expectant mothers in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Other appropriate treatments include the Lux Mani or Lux Pedi and a Daily Facial.

 

No babymoon at W Scottsdale would be complete without a memorable meal at Donabe, a Japanese steakhouse offering seafood, Wagyu and sushi. Meals can be enjoyed at the restaurant or in guestrooms and pregnancy-safe dishes include duck fried rice, Wagyu lettuce wraps, lobster roll, olive oil pound cake, flourless chocolate cake and so much more.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
