Feel like extending your summer plans in Phoenix and Scottsdale a little longer? Labor Day weekend is a great time to do that. A holiday weekend in Phoenix and Scottsdale opens up a world to explore in the desert, with outdoor adventures and poolside fun to help you soak up every minute of summer. Here are some ways for you to get a head start on your Labor Day weekend plans in Phoenix and Scottsdale. You’ll also get the inside scoop on how staying in a vacation rental from Manor Retreats can make this an epic Labor Day in Phoenix to remember.
Go Tubing Down the Salt River in Phoenix
You’re in the desert, which comes with its own beauty along with some intense heat. Stay cool this Labor Day weekend by planning a relaxing soak down the Salt River. All you need is an inner tube and a sense of adventure. Gather your crew, and head to the waters of the Salt River where you’ll drift along the current, taking in the beautiful desert views in a cool and unique way. You’ll want to start early, so you don’t wind up tubing with too much company—but if you’re into that – then start whenever you want! Naturally, you’ll want to bring some sun protection like a hat and high SPF sunscreen. Water and snacks are also essential. When you’ve had enough sunshine and river water, make your way back to your vacation rental from Manor Retreats where you can relax in ultimate comfort.
Experience the Magic of the Desert at Night
For a desert experience unlike any other, visit the Desert Botanical Garden this Labor Day weekend. The Garden hosts an event called Flashlight Nights where during the hours of 7 to 9:30 p.m. you can wander with a flashlight through five themed pathways. You’ll see amazing night-blooming cacti and nocturnal desert creatures. It’s a magical experience to watch the Sonoran Desert stirring with life after dark. After these nighttime adventures, head back to your luxury rental from Manor Retreats where the evening fun can continue. Enjoy a nightcap sipped around the firepit as you share stories with friends and family.
Relax by the Pool – Preferably at Your Rental
As you work at soaking up the last vestiges of summer this Labor Day weekend, one of the best plans you can make is to chill in the pool. You’ll be happy to know that many of the vacation rentals from Manor Retreats have private pools for you to enjoy. This means you don’t have to leave your rental to have a pool day on Labor Day weekend. Cool off from the heat of the day, or go for a sunset swim with beautiful desert views. There’s nothing like a pool party with some delicious grilled food. All of this is best enjoyed in a Labor Day weekend rental from Manor Retreats!

Attend a Resort Party in Phoenix or Scottsdale
If you want a bit more on the party action this Labor Day weekend, then plan to visit some of the resort parties happening. Many high-end resorts, like The Phoenician, The W Scottsdale or Talking Stick Resort, like to host epic pool parties. The energy is live with DJs playing, drinks flowing and the ultimate summer party vibes. After a fun day of partying, you can get some rest in your luxury rental from Manor Retreats rental.
