WE INVITE YOU

To enjoy the south's finest hospitality at The Willcox, voted one of the best hotels in the world.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

For centuries, the indigenous have recognized the earth’s healing powers. There have always been those spots in the world that just seem to have a special kind of Power, an abundance of energy and positivity. For a young Indian Princess, her fleeting health was restored in a place just like this. As the legend goes, her Father, a Noble Chief, was told in a dream to travel to the land of the rising sun, where whispering pines stand tall…. through which a river of sand steadily flows. It is here, he is told, that she will regain her health. And she did. The Indians call it sacred. Others serene. We call it Aiken.
