On the grounds of the Gila River Indian community, 11 mi south of Sky Harbor Airport, the culture and heritage of the Pima and Maricopa tribes are reflected in every aspect of this property. Guest rooms are detailed with Native art and textiles, and Kai (Pima for "seed") Restaurant ($$$-$$$$) combines Southwestern and Native culinary traditions. Families enjoy the Koli Center for on-site equestrian activities and the kids-oriented activity pool. A 2 1/2-mi replica of the Gila River meanders through the property; you can take a boat to the Whirlwind Golf Clubhouse, the nearby Wild Horse Pass Casino, or Rawhide Western Town. Keep your eyes open for the wild horses for which the resort is named -- or keep them comfortably closed at the Aji Spa.
