Summer Spaaah Series Events Back to Cool Off Phoenix Metro

It's baaack! With temperatures on the rise and not a cloud in sight, the third-annual Summer Spaaah Series is breezing back into town to cool off the Valley with a dose of fun and charity. We're tickled pink to announce that this highly anticipated event series is making its rounds at eight Valley spa destinations starting on May 25!

The series will kick off Memorial Day weekend with a special Summer Spaaah Soirée at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch, where guests will be immersed in the Spa Avania experience. Attendees will be invited to change into plush spa robes, take in a 30-minute spa treatment, attend a yoga class, sample treatments in the "sweet suites," indulge in freshly prepared spa cuisine, raise their glasses with a closing tea martini toast and leave with a bag filled with goodies. This women-only experience is for guests 17 and older and is a rare opportunity to experience the spa for only $40.

The seven events that follow are $25 and include mini spa treatments, fitness classes, beauty demos, boutique discounts, raffles, refreshments, goodie bags and a chance to tour the hottest spa destinations Arizona has to offer. Each event has been carefully planned to highlight the essence and unique features of each destination. The 2008 events take place every other Sunday at the following locations:

• May 25: Summer Spaaah Soirée event at Spa Avania at the Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch, Scottsdale
