Pool floats, palm shadows, and rooftop margaritas — desert glam done right.
Scottsdale is the West Coast bachelorette HQ. Days are pool clubs at the W or Andaz, evenings are Old Town rooftops, and the spa hotels (Sanctuary, Miraval, Four Seasons Troon) deliver the ultimate "recover before the wedding" energy. Pinterest's "desert bachelorette" board is basically a Scottsdale lookbook. Best from October through May — summer is brutal.
