Nestled in the heart of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, Rancho de los Caballeros offers an idyllic escape where the traditions of the Old West meet luxurious comfort. This historic family-owned dude ranch in Wickenburg provides a chance to step away from the demands of everyday life to connect with the region’s natural beauty and cowboy culture.
With over 20,000 acres of sprawling desert, the ranch is a paradise for equestrian enthusiasts and home to 85 horses who live in a newly rebuilt corral. Professional wranglers are available to teach the basics of horse riding, while more experienced riders can take their abilities further with personalized lessons.
The casitas at Rancho de los Caballeros are thoughtfully decorated with handcrafted Southwestern decor. From intricately woven textiles to custom-made furniture, the rooms teleport guests into the Old West.
Hearty meals are available in various settings, from casual desert cookouts under the stars to fine dining at ’19,’ Rancho’s acclaimed restaurant. The culinary team crafts dishes that celebrate the flavors of the Southwest using locally sourced ingredients.
The resort offers a full-service spa where guests can unwind and rejuvenate. A range of treatments incorporate natural ingredients inspired by the desert, such as aloe vera and prickly pear. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the 18-hole championship golf course, which combines sport with stunning desert scenery.
The resort also offers a unique proposal experience for those ready to pop “the question.” Wranglers guide the couple on a two-hour private ride into the beautiful Sonoran Desert to Proposal Point, where they will be greeted with a fresh arrangement of flowers, wine, strawberries, and tea lights.
“With over 75 years of ranching excellence in Wickenburg, Rancho de los Caballeros welcomes guests to tap into their inner cowboy with access to activities built on the traditions of the Spanish Caballeros,” Managing Director George McGann said.
This summer, Rancho de los Caballeros opened its gates for the first time in its history, welcoming curious individuals, adventurous families and groups of all sizes. With all-inclusive packages and exclusive summer-focused deals, guests can enjoy approachable prices during the ranch’s shoulder season. In the fall, guests will be greeted with a strong lineup of new programming and events, including a guest chef series, ranch reserve wine dinners, Unbridled Equine Retreats and much more.
“There is no shortage of adventure and southwestern charm, and we look forward to offering this experience to locals and visitors alike,” McGann said.
Celebrating 75+ years of ranching excellence, Rancho de los Caballeros was built on the traditions of Spanish Caballeros – the gentlemen on horseback – with inspiration seen in the ranch’s team penning offerings, barrel racing experiences, daily horse runs and seasonal rodeos.
Rancho de los Caballeros has been recognized by prestigious travel and hospitality organizations and earned accolades such as TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, a spot on Condé Nast Traveler’s list of top Western resorts and a place in USA Today’s list of top dude ranches in the nation.
