Shasta Pools & Spas announces the early fall opening of the highly anticipated swimming pools, therapeutic spas and Spanish style water features at the Montelucia Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Montelucia, nestled on the North side of Camelback Mountain, has been wholly designed and architected to feature the distinct ambiance and influence of Andalucia, in the South of Spain. With 293 hotel rooms and suites, the Resort/Spa side of Montelucia will include a restaurant, a wedding chapel and a 30,000 square foot health spa. For the resort area, there are a total of three outdoor pool areas, all of which will be heated year-round. The Shasta Pools Semi-Commercial Division has been working with Montelucia for approximately two years to design, engineer and construct the spectacular pools, spas and water features that will contribute to the Southern Spanish experience.

The first and smallest of the three outdoor pool areas is known as the Andalucian, reserved specifically for the guests of the presidential suite. This 343 square foot pool with an attached spa has custom Spanish style coping and intricate stone decking. The spa itself has its own shade structure to create a more private, intimate environment for guests of the suite.

The Oasis Pool area will be the hub of the resort for many of Montelucia's guests. The elaborate deck area features spaced-out deck patterns etched with brick designs and Spanish tile accents. The 1716 square foot pool has custom Spanish blend coping and is rectangular in shape. The detached spa is accented with a water feature wall to the North that ties in ambient water sounds and soothing water movement. There will be an abundance of lounging areas and eight cabanas for guests to enjoy.

The Main Pool area and largest of the three is the main focus of the Spanish influenced resort. The 3820 square foot pool is operated by a two slot gutter system, giving the illusion that the water is terminating into the deck. The massive 384 square foot therapeutic spa is the size of a typical small pool and can seat 20 people comfortably. It is raised above the pool's deck level and will be highlighted by a 20 foot long, tile faced water feature wall with five custom stone scuppers separating it from the main pool area. There is a separate raised area that contains a fire ring for guests to enjoy on cool evenings. The pool and spa will be surrounded by 12,000 square feet of decking that will leave plenty of room for the 10-15 cabanas, lounging areas and lush landscaping.

Shasta is constructing 14 water features throughout the resort side of the property, the most notable being La Alhambra Walk. For the 30,000 square foot spa, Shasta will complete a shotcrete whirlpool and a cold deluge for the men and a shotcrete whirlpool and cold deluge for women. The Spa Grande, a 524 square foot stainless steel pool was crane lifted onto the roof and will be available for use during spa treatments. Throughout the entire resort/spa area of the property there is an abundance of hand carved Cantera stone, Spanish brick and coping and hand carved stone scuppers, all reminiscent of Spain.
