Summer is the perfect season for memory-making—and there’s no better place to do it than at Westin La Paloma Resort, a serene oasis tucked into the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Whether you’re chasing poolside fun, Southwest adventure, or simple relaxation under the desert sun, this Tucson resort offers everything families need for an unforgettable summer escape.

Here’s why your next family getaway belongs at Westin La Paloma.

Desert Fun for All Ages

From the moment you arrive, the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert sets the tone for an inspiring and peaceful family vacation. But don’t let the quiet setting fool you—this resort is packed with activities designed to keep both kids and adults entertained.

The centerpiece of summer fun? Five sparkling outdoor pools, including a kid-friendly pool with a 177-foot water slide that’s guaranteed to be a vacation highlight. Meanwhile, adults can relax in the adults-only pool or unwind in a private cabana while sipping something refreshing from Sabino’s Pool Bar & Grill.

Topgolf Swing Suite

Experience the excitement at the newly opened Topgolf Swing Suite, now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Enjoy a wide array of games, from thrilling sports simulations to fun carnival activities, all in one place. Savor delicious food and beverages as you play, making it the perfect spot for a fun outing with friends and family. (Great for graduation celebrations, birthday parties, and more!)

Spacious Rooms with Family Comfort in Mind

Accommodations at Westin La Paloma are designed with families in mind. Each room or suite offers ample space, private balconies or patios, and views of the surrounding mountains, golf course, or resort pools. You’ll also enjoy the Westin Heavenly® Bed—perfect for recharging after a day of swimming, hiking, or exploring Tucson.

Need room to spread out? Suite options provide extra space and flexibility for larger families or longer stays.

Dine with Desert Flavor

No need to leave the resort to enjoy incredible meals—Westin La Paloma makes dining effortless and satisfying for all palates. La Luz Restaurant & Lounge offers sophisticated Southwestern cuisine for parents to savor, while Contigo Latin Kitchen serves up vibrant, family-friendly Latin dishes in a relaxed setting. From breakfast to dinner, every meal is a chance to taste the flavors of the desert.

And for poolside cravings? Sabino’s delivers casual bites and cool drinks right to your lounge chair.

Activities That Go Beyond the Pool

While pool time is a must, there’s plenty more to explore. Families can take advantage of tennis courts, the WestinWORKOUT® fitness studio, and access to nearby desert hiking trails for morning adventures. Plus, the resort’s La Paloma Spa & Salon offers treatments for adults who want to sneak in a little personal time while the kids splash or nap.

La Paloma Kids Club

Younger visitors will love the Kids Club, filled with toys and guided by certified staff who lead fun, supervised activities like outdoor games and arts and crafts. It’s the perfect spot for little ones to get creative and make new friends, while parents enjoy a quiet dinner, play tennis or pickleball, or indulge in spa services. This wonderful drop-off service is available daily and also hosts special themed events like Kids Nights Out and Movie Nights—ideal for extended, kid-free evenings.
Please note: For safety, a parent or guardian must remain on the resort premises while children are in the Kids Club.

S’mores Night

Wrap up the day with a sweet family tradition at S’mores Night, held every Friday and Saturday from 6–8 PM. Enjoy panoramic Catalina Mountain views by the fire while indulging in gooey, delicious s’mores. S’mores kits are available for purchase at La Luz Restaurant.

A Perfect Home Base for Tucson Adventures

While Westin La Paloma offers more than enough to fill your days, its location makes it easy to explore Tucson’s local attractions too. Family favorites include the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Sabino Canyon, and the Tucson Botanical Gardens—all within easy reach of the resort.

After a day out, return to your comfortable room, soak in the sunset from your balcony, and let the sounds of the desert guide you into total relaxation.
