A New Tucson Staycation Experience Is Coming in Early 2026

Tucson locals, mark your calendars: Solana Spanish Ranch & Villas, an established Tucson favorite, is opening a new experience in early 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting new places right here in our own backyard to stay, celebrate, and reconnect.

Nestled in the peaceful Tanque Verde Valley on the east side of Tucson, Solana is more than just a place to stay — it’s a local staycation destination that feels like a getaway. Whether you’re hosting visiting family, planning an important milestone celebration, or craving a change of pace without going far, this thoughtfully restored Spanish-style ranch blends comfort, charm, and memorable experiences.

A Staycation That Feels Like a True Escape (Without Leaving Tucson)

We all love Tucson — but sometimes you just want a break from your routine without packing a suitcase or driving hours. Solana delivers that resort-style feeling just minutes from home with multiple lodging options and shared spaces that make every stay feel special.

Classic Villa & Casita Comfort

Choose from six fully furnished villas and two casitas, each with full kitchens, cozy living areas, and modern comforts — perfect for families visiting from out of town or local getaways with friends. Reserve one unit for a romantic weekend or book several for a multi-family stay. 

Glamping in Luxury Conestoga Wagons

For a truly one-of-a-kind Tucson experience, Solana’s is introducing Luxury Conestoga Wagon glamping — historic-inspired wagons reimagined with modern amenities. These beautifully crafted wagons echo the spirit of the Old West while offering king beds, private bathrooms, air conditioning/heating, Wi-Fi, and cozy desert patios — a fun and unexpected way to stay close to home but feel transported to the frontier. 

Set beneath mesquite and eucalyptus trees with fire pits and outdoor seating, these wagons combine the best of rustic charm and contemporary convenience — perfect for couples, families with kids, or friends looking for a memorable Tucson adventure.

With their new offerings in early 2026, Solana Spanish Ranch & Villas provides Tucson locals a rare opportunity to stay, celebrate, and gather without leaving town, combining a peaceful Tanque Verde Valley setting with easy access to everything East Tucson has to offer. Ideal for hosting visiting family or bringing loved ones together, the property allows groups to stay in one beautifully designed location with shared amenities that turn visits into true experiences. Beyond staycations, Solana also serves as a stunning local venue for life’s milestone moments — from quinceañeras and weddings to anniversaries and family reunions — making it a versatile, elevated destination designed around how Tucson families live, connect, and celebrate.
