This eco-friendly Mountain Retreat and Cafe is located in Southeastern Arizona in the mystical Chiricahua Mountains, an easy 1-1/2 hour drive from the Tucson airport.
Nestled in 400 acres of pristine old oaks, junipers and pines with a beautiful pond and wildlife galore, Sunglow is surrounded by the Coronado National Forest. Enveloped by towering volcanic rock sculptures and massive stone columns, this stunning area offers some of the most spectacular geological wonders in the world. New paragraph
Following a recent two-million renovation, Sunglow’s accommodations include nine beautifully designed casitas, each with their own theme, some with fireplaces, patios and spectacular views. The Sunglow Café brings gourmet foods to a new level and supports our retreat mission by serving “back-to-the-basics” natural, organic and locally grown foods when available.
Small and intimate, upscale, but still laid back and comfortable, our culinary retreat experience offers an excellent menu of healthy ingredients and culinary skills; theory you can immediately apply to your own life, great food, excellent accommodations, adventure, relaxation, and an opportunity to discover the solitude and beauty of nature.
