The Westin Kierland Villas was built around the Westin Kierland Golf Club in Scottsdale, where you’ve got twenty-seven holes of amazing golf right in front of you. Westin Kierland Villas is the condo residence section of the renowned Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. Go for a swim in the adult pool, relax in the hot tub or float down the lazy river. Enjoy a delicious cocktail at the poolside bar while you keep an eye on the kids in the children’s pool with waterslide. When the kids get hungry, fire up the bbq grills for a family cookout. After lunch, drop the kids off at the on-site children’s activity center and visit the well-equipped fitness center for a workout. Be sure to stop by the sauna to unwind post-workout.

Air-conditioned one-bedroom villas sleep four guests. Kitchenettes are perfect for preparing basic meals or heating up leftovers from the on-site American restaurant, McDowell Market & Grill. In-suite entertainment includes flat screen TVs with cable and DVD players (have the kids pack favorite movies from home). Catch a Friends rerun or have a family movie night. Grab the movie snacks, have everyone change into their pajamas and gather everyone on the couch with their pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. Now the only question is: Frozen or Cars? In-suite washer/dryers will come in handy if the kids end up with more of the movie snacks on their clothes than in their stomachs. The family shouldn’t have any trouble drifting off to sleep thanks to the Heavenly Beds. For more space and a full kitchen, upgrade to a premium one-bedroom villa.

The resort is just a five-minute walk to Westin Kierland Golf Club. This Scott Miller-designed course is made up of three nine-hole courses, allowing you to choose any combination of eighteen holes to play. The on-site golf pro shop is one of the top pro shop’s in the country where they will be happy to assist you with custom equipment fitting. Guests of the Westin Kierland Villas have access to the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa’s full-service spa, Agave. Enjoy a relaxing facial, massage, body treatment or manicure. Baseball fans will enjoy visiting Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, it’s the Spring Training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. If you’re more into shopping than sports, Kierland Commons Mall has you covered. Stop by Starbucks for an espresso beverage or frappuccino. Good news! Coffee-free frappuccinos are available so the kids don’t have to miss out on a delicious treat. Now that you’ve had your caffeine, check out the selection of handbags at Michael Kors or Coach. Grab a new pair of shades at Solstice Sunglasses. For apparel, there’s Banana Republic, J. Crew and White House/Black Market. Hungry? Try Shake Shack, The Cheesecake Factory or P.F. Chang’s.
