Whispering Rock, a boutique timeshare resort nestled on the edge of the South Mountain Preserve, is a thoroughly modern desert retreat that echoes the native heritage of the petroglyphs found in the park. Individual units and the owner’s clubhouse are contemporary interpretations, blending rough hewn stone and wood with polished granites, corten steel and glass. Furnishings are clean and contemporary but still comfortable and inviting in textured, desert color fabrics. Artwork and accessories speak to a sense of place and sacredness.
