What Aji Spa offers
Aji Spa is the on-site spa at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass and is named after the Pima word for “sanctuary.” The spa’s menu includes massages, facials, body wraps, manicures/pedicures and hair/salon services, and its treatments were developed with input from tribal elders.
A signature offering is the Blue Coyote Wrap, a treatment based on a Pima tribal legend that uses blue mud, steam and cedar-sage oil. The spa also operates a café (Aji Café) inside the spa that serves light fare; a spa appointment is required to dine there.
- Signature: Blue Coyote Wrap (blue mud, steam, cedar-sage oil)
- Treatment types: massages, facials, body wraps, nail and salon services

Who can use the spa and pool rules
Aji Spa is maintained as an adult environment: spa amenities, including the private spa pool, saunas and whirlpools, are restricted to guests 18 and older per the property’s official guidance. Young adults may receive certain salon services with a parent or guardian, but they are not permitted to use the spa amenities.
The resort overall is family-friendly and the main outdoor pools are open to all ages; the Aji Spa’s private pool is adults-only and is available only to spa-treatment guests. If you’re visiting with children, plan spa time separately from family pool time at the resort.

What to know before booking and arrival tips
Confirm a few policy details before you book because official Marriott listings and third-party sites disagree on some points (minimum check-in age, in-room Wi‑Fi charges, valet parking fees). The resort’s front desk operates 24 hours and standard check-in/check-out times (from researched dossier) may apply—confirm any early arrival or late departure needs directly with the property.
If you plan spa treatments during pregnancy, notify the spa reservationist in advance; the property advises avoiding treatments involving heat, hot stones, body wraps and the sauna during pregnancy. Also note the spa provides complimentary same-day fitness-center use when you book a treatment.
- Verify the hotel’s minimum check-in age (sources list 18 vs. 21) before booking
- Ask the spa about pregnancy-safe options and any exclusions before you arrive
- Booking a spa treatment includes complimentary same-day fitness-center access
| Pre-book checklist | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Confirm minimum check-in age | OTA and Marriott listings differ (18 vs 21) |
| Ask about payment/service charge | Spa reportedly adds automatic service charge and is cashless |
| Reserve desired treatment time early | Spa hours and appointment slots are limited to daytime staffing |
