Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia Appoints Stephanie Schweppe as New Spa Director
Esteemed Wellness Leader to Shape the Future of Joya Spa and Lead the Next Chapter of Luxury Wellness at Scottsdale’s Moroccan-inspired Spa Escape
Scottsdale, AZ – (July 24, 2026) – A new chapter of luxury wellness is unfolding at Joya Spa as Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia proudly announces the appointment of Stephanie Schweppe as its new Spa Director. With a rich background of nearly 30 years of spa leadership and luxury hospitality experience under her belt, Schweppe is poised to usher in the next era of the resort's 31,000-square-foot Moroccan-inspired wellness sanctuary, where she will oversee guest experience, spa operations, and special programming as she continues Joya Spa’s rich legacy as one of the most iconic wellness destinations in Scottsdale.
“It is not every day that you have the opportunity to lead a place that you have personally admired and respected for years,” said Stephanie Schweppe, Spa Director at Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia. “I often think of Joya as a passport to another place. As I look ahead, my focus is on elevating the guest experience through thoughtful attention to detail. Joya already has an exceptional foundation, a beautiful story, and a distinctive sense of place. My role is not to reinvent it, but to illuminate what makes it so special.”
With more than two decades of experience in wellness and hospitality, Schweppe has built an impressive portfolio of leadership experience across luxury resorts and world-renowned spas, cultivating a reputation for operational excellence, innovative programming, and guest-centered service. Her prolific career includes leadership roles at local Arizona resorts and hotels such as Bliss Spa at W Hotels, Steiner Leisure Spa Division, and Talking Stick Resort, where she strengthened the distinctive identities and character of each location. Drawing from her extensive expertise, Schweppe has an unparalleled understanding of Arizona’s wellness landscape and local clientele, and her deep connection to the market makes her instrumental in enhancing Omni Scottsdale’s place in the community.
As she steps into a new role as Spa Director at Omni Scottsdale’s Joya Spa, Schweppe will oversee the resort’s expansive Moroccan-inspired sanctuary, a renowned haven for unique wellness experiences thoughtfully conceived by Sylvia Sepielli, the visionary behind some of the world’s most celebrated spas. This award-winning oasis features custom massages, facials, and body treatments, along with private suites, a relaxation room, a Joy of Purification Room with a 55 lb. quartz crystal, and seasonal wellness programming. As she looks toward the future, Schweppe hopes to embrace the evolving needs of today’s wellness traveler while preserving the authentic character of Joya Spa through the expansion of experiential programming, guest rituals, and engaging events.
With a focus on personalized wellness experiences and a continued evolution of Joya Spa’s signature programming, Schweppe aims to create an environment where every guest feels moved to reconnect with themselves and their surroundings, ultimately leaving this Andalusian-inspired retreat feeling recharged and transformed.
