Miraval Arizona

I so badly wanted to love this resort... And I didn't dislike it. The Miraval Arizona is a beautiful place to unwind and relax. The desert and Catalina Mountain backdrop is incredibly peaceful and serene. The reason I might not come back is simply because I was not overly impressed; and for the price, I wanted to be blown away. The food was good. Over the top? No, just good. The 2 hour morning hike with Nikki and Voss was excellent. Don't miss it! I had an amazing relaxation massage with Will. One of the best I have had. I was surprised and disappointed at the amount of activities that were an extra charge - from classes to the challenge course, many were not included. A couple people who stood out and should be recognized: Brynne and Marty were two of our first contacts at the resort. They were both outstanding. If Miraval could hire a couple dozen more of those two, they would be set. Also, Malachi and Nick in the restaurant were wonderful. They both had great personalities and made our dinners extra fun. Some concluding remarks - If you are looking for a desert environment to unwind and recharge, and you don't set your expectations too high, you will have an enjoyable time at the Miraval Arizona.

This is my second solo retreat at Miraval. It is something I hope to do annually given how incredibly peaceful, nourishing, and healing it is. To be held in such beauty and luxury is beyond marvelous! Everything from the delicious and nutritious food, the thoughtfully and gorgeously laid out grounds, the mountain range, the activities, the spa, and the retail options is the highest standard. I am in love with Miraval!

The activities and spa are the best- the spa techs are incredibly professional, and truly reflect exceptional skills with their craft— massages, facials; stay in the resort rooms if you can splurge a bit; and were your bathrobe to dinner! Don’t overbook yourself, but do as much as you can, but also allow for chill time.

A magical, unique place. Go with an open mind and open heart. I have never felt as relaxed and refreshed. Every person I encountered wanted to share their gifts and were exceptional. They offer many unique experiences. Take advantage of as many sessions and services as you can while there.

incredible experience on all accounts - nourished my mind, body and soul - the staff made sure of that!! loved the digital detox. Guided hike and plant-based cooking instruction were just a few of my favorite experiences. Loved the spa! I could've spent my entire time there!!
