An event that attracts a huge and diverse crowd every year, the spring regattas are organised by the luxurious Italian Yacht Club. Over 100 boats depart from Portofino´s port in May, competing for the coveted trophy in 3 days of good sportsmanship, accompanied by concerts and shows.

Rising 2,704 feet above the Phoenix Valley, Camelback Mountain is an iconic destination for travelers seeking adventure and breathtaking views. The mountain offers two popular hiking trails, each challenging in its own way. The Echo Canyon Trail is shorter but steeper, while the Cholla Trail is longer and slightly less intense, though both demand a good level of fitness and preparation. As you ascend, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of the surrounding desert landscape and city skyline. At the summit, you’ll experience the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment under the bright blue Arizona skies. Guided hikes are also available for those who prefer a more structured experience or need local expertise. Remember to bring plenty of water and wear proper hiking gear, as the trails are rigorous and the desert heat can be intense, especially in summer.

A must-see for both locals and visitors, the Carnival of Illusion brings the charm and wonder of old-world magic to the Valley of the Sun. This intimate boutique theater experience combines Vaudeville-style magic, mystery, and romantic intrigue, offering a night of captivating entertainment that transports guests to a bygone era. With each performance limited to just a few dozen attendees, the show’s personal and interactive nature makes it truly unique. Advance reservations are highly recommended, as shows often sell out quickly. Please note, due to the sophistication of the performance, children under 13 are not admitted.
