Families looking for an active escape should book a stay at Boulders Resort & Spa. The property has spacious one- to four-bedroom villas for families of all sizes. While there, make sure to check out the outdoor activities offered. Guests can join rock-climbing clinics, desert hikes and high-octane mountain biking trips. Looking for a slower paced activity? Consider the expert-led desert photography tour or a nighttime stargazing session with the resort’s resident astronomer. For golfers in the family, make sure to play a round at one or both of the championship golf courses or a more casual round at the Pebble Tees short course.
