Our Story
Discover the Essence of Our Native American Spa Services
Throughout the Gila River Valley within the Sonoran Desert is a community formed by the Pima and Maricopa tribes. Having inhabited the land for centuries, the Pima and Maricopa peoples have an abiding relationship with the Arizona landscape and a deep knowledge of the restorative properties of the plants, animals, and terrain throughout the region.
Named for the Pima word for sanctuary, Aji Spa brings together contemporary spa treatments with the sacred doctrines of the Pima and Maricopa tribes. The treatments offered at Aji Spa draw on traditional Native American healing practices and reflect the history and culture of the Gila River Indian Community.
Aji is appropriately named after the nearby Aji Mountain, located on the Gila River Indian Community, where women and children would go in times of war. This sacred mountain is still one of the Community's most important treasures and fittingly, Aji Spa is where sacred Pima and Maricopa traditions are practiced and shared.
Aji Spa at Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass will rejuvenate and replenish all who visit this authentic and tranquil resort spa.This is the landscape that is home to the legends of the Gila River Indian Community, including the story of the Twin Boys, who went in search of their birthright from Cloud, their father, and were transformed into the flora that dots the desert. The spa and its staff highlight and honor these traditions through the treatments, architecture, and artwork throughout the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass resort and spa.
A visit to Aji Spa is an opportunity to soak up these stories and the power they possess.
