Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa

I am a busy mother and I was looking for a quiet place to travel to on my own. As a horse/spa/yoga enthusiast, Miraval certainly fit the bill, and was a perfect place to decompress for several days. The trail ride through the desert was spectacular, and the horse programs there are enlightening and so special. Most guests there were women, many traveling with a friend or two, and also many solo travelers like myself. I found everyone to be quite friendly. The no-gratuity rule took a lot of stress out of everything for me, as I wasn't forced to do mental math at every turn as I usually would at a spa resort. There are so many activities ranging from meditation to fitness to adventure courses and hiking; some afternoons I just sat and watched the birds from their bird ramada for an hour. Food was superb and I especially loved the smoothie bar. The bed was heavenly. I would go back in an instant. Already thinking of next year!

Miraval was exactly what my daughters and I were looking for. It was far more than a spa. It describes itself as promoting/teaching "life in balance. We loved the hiking, wellness classes, nutrition, meditation...even Outward Bound type activities.

One of the most relaxing and restorative vacations.

Heaven, Oasis, Santuary all of these words come to mind when describing the Miraval Resort. What a wonderful week my sister and I had. Literally everything was perfect. The setting, the staff, the classes, the treatments, the food, the service, the location. I could go on and on and on.....Such seemingly happy staff certainly made you feel welcomed all over the property. Loved, loved the no cell phones in public areas policy. How refreshing and relaxing. I tuned out and tuned into my life. One of the best weeks of my life. Felt all stress glide away.... on the massage table, by the pool, at mealtimes, in classes, in my lovely room with it's perfect little patio, walking around the grounds seeing birds and other critters. Truly Heaven, an Oasis, Paradise! Can't wait for next year!

This was just the kind of property I was looking for. The location was pristine, food was delicious, and spa/exercise classes were out of this world.

I was looking for a sanctuary where I could be alone if I chose, and still indulge in spa and other activities. Miraval exceeded expectations, lots of peace and quiet. They really did live up to their self-promotion. The grounds were beautiful, the amenities such as the lap pool and food venues were available almost 24 hours, staff was friendly, food great, overall excellence. I did have one quite negative experience with an activity provider, but it was quickly resolved and refunded when I got home. Can't wait to go back!

Miraval is not just a spa. It is better characterized as a wellness center that includes a spa. I loved that a lot of attention is spent on being mindful of what feels right for your body. The people that teach the various classes are always willing to push you to try new experiences but not push you to feel pain or discomfort. The people in the spa were absolutely lovely and extremely good at what they do. Highly recommend this resort if you need to get away and get back in touch with yourself. The setting is gorgeous! Who would have thought so of a desert resort?

It was wonderful. I would highly recommend it.

I can't wait to go back. Everyone at the resort was friendly, the options were endless and the accommodations were first class.

First class, amazing experience. Try all of the mind and body classes, and try new experiences that are out of your comfort zone. The property and the staff are incredible, and everyone is there to make you happy. Don't be shy - if there is something you want for dinner, just ask. You are never limited by the menu. The bed is so comfortable, but we were too busy to spend enough time in the room. Plan your trip and then add an extra day so you can relax by the pool. Miraval is the best place for a girls' trip - we can't wait to go back.

Miraval just keeps getting better. This was my third visit and I continue to enjoy different experiences. The food is consistently delicious.

Luxurious. Spa fantasy

I took a yoga class from the most amazing instructor! Her playlist alone on Spotify was worth the trip. Every time I play her songs I’m taking back to our amazing week. I had a Neuromuscular massage from Wendy that completely healed my sore spots I’ve been working on for months. I have lots of massages and this was the most amazing healing hour and a half of my life! Not only did Tom and I enjoy our bodies and time together we nourished ourselves with the most amazing food that changed so much of the way we eat now at home!

Miraval is a piece of paradise in the Tucson desert. The grounds, the rooms, the staff, the spa, the adventures, the experiences are all geared to make your visit the most relaxing or most adventuresome as you want. I have enjoyed the off property hikes into the Catalina mountains, the zip lining, and the rock climbing wall. I have taken the tours of the entire property, the on location farm and bee hives. I have enjoyed the calming of the spa, the bird sanctuaries, and the art that is everywhere on the property. I have pushed my thinking in learning new ideas and new holistic healing practices. I have pushed my physical body with the exercise classes that are non-stop all day, every day (if that is your thing). There is something for every one and every body type at Miraval. It is a must for everyone's bucket list.

This was my third time at my favorite resort and was not the same (? with the Hyatt buyout) - seems the guest mix is changing as well - more guests now in their late 20’s/30’s - not a bad trip - just different

Had a wonderful 4 night stay at Miraval. It was a perfect blend of activity and relaxation. I hope to go back.

Great place to get away and relax!

Sure felt so spoiled and renewed. The food was fantastic and we had a most wonderful experience.

The food is amazing. The spa services top notch. I loved the hiking. My room had a beautiful view of the mountains.
