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.

Miraval Tucson is the perfect place to recharge and unwind. Their classes are varied and each class that I took was taught with professionalism and expertise. I felt rejuvenated and relaxed throughout my stay. A perfect balance. The desert landscape lends itself to serenity while the enthusiasm of the teachers revitalizes the body and mind. The service is excellent. My spa treatments were also varied and wonderful. Some were “fluffy” while others were true bodywork done by intuitive technicians. The amenities in the spa are top shelf.

First Class, great customer service !!

This was my first time at Miraval and at a wellness spa. It was exactly the experience I wanted in a wellness spa. The place was clean and peaceful. My days were filled with exercise activities, meditation, classes that covered an array of topics including how to use my iPhone camera and good skin care techniques, and spa treatments that helped me relax. The food was delicious and gave me a chance to try gluten free and vegan options. What I really liked about the place was the awesome customer service from everyone who works there. They made everyone feel important. It was a great environment to meet people or just relax and read a book. The whole experience allowed me to focus on me and my well being. I recommend that everyone pamper themselves and get to Miraval.

This resort was amazing. The staff members were so professional and dedicated to the comfort of their hotel guests. The classes were very helpful, and the speakers were knowledgeable with respect to the information they discussed and practical with their advice. The premises were pristine and the cuisine was outstanding. I highly recommend this resort.

From the lovely greeting with a cool drink when I arrived, To the sad goodbyes to employees who became friends. Their names are too numerous to mention but I will always remember them and how welcome and cared for they made me feel . The food , the beds, the wonderful thought out treatments and pure relaxation. It was as if I was the only guest . I look forward to talking to Eleanor about returning in the future. Thank You Miraval ! ,

If you are looking for a fitness spa (as in Canyon Ranch style), Miraval may not be your best choice. The grounds are gorgeous. The food is amazing. The staff is excellent. However, they do not offer a full range of fitness classes at Miraval and many classes/lectures involve signing up and/or extra fees. I recommend Miraval highly if you want to relax in a beautiful place. I do not recommend Miraval if you are looking for tons of fitness classes.

Lovely. Enough activities for everyone.

the resort was amazing. loved the services and the food!

Miraval resort in Tucson was just what I needed to reboot and recharge. The range of activities to choose from was outstanding, the facility itself was very pristine and calming and the food/service/people were all top notch. Thank you for a wonderful trip,

Overall good Understaffed Food 3 stars Spa 5 stars Room 5 stars

I knew I would enjoy Miraval based on the recommendation from my advisor, but I wasn't expecting to so thoroughly love the adventure! My phone went on airplane mode almost immediately, and I leaned into unplugging, only checking in a couple of times a day. The wide-ranging activities available pushed me to try a variety of new things, including slow flow aerial yoga, a class involving non-verbal communication with horses, different forms of meditation, and consultation with a clairvoyant. My experiences with the wonderful equine specialist and the amazing horses have inspired me to take lessons at home. Incorporating some of the adventure at home makes it really feel like it lasts longer. But really, when can I go back?

I’ve been to Miraval 4 prior times. It’s always been an impeccable experience. This time there were more struggles than usual with the guest services department. Usually they go above and beyond to make sure each guest feels valued - I think they are understaffed right now. The spa was amazing as per usual. Our group had a variety of services and all were excellent. I had Steve for 2 massages.. he’s the best! The food services team was also amazing! Drew led two classes for us - both excellent. The outdoor adventures team also (Kayla and Zaynah) great. Will go back for sure.

I absolutely loved Miraval. It has something for everyone and everything is so mindfullly thought out and executed.

This wonderful experience was beyond my expectations. What a beautiful, relaxing place with wonderful spa options and great classes available if you want to participate. There is something that will interest you along with new experiences too. The rooms are wonderful and the grounds to walk around and take in are peaceful. The food is amazing. Everyone should do this at least once!

I last stayed at Miraval in September 2019. At that time, it was an amazing experience, one of several I've enjoyed since discovering it in 2017. Unfortunately, I haven't had occasion to return since the pandemic began. I trust that the extraordinary staff and facilities will once again be able to deliver the relaxing retreat that I've come to know and love. I plan to be back once things settle down.

This was my third trip and the first two were better. There were too many people and too few employees. I could not get the classes I wanted nor the services I wanted. It was nearly impossible to reach the resort by phone. I counted on pick up at a hotel as in the past but it was no longer offered. Prices were up but services were down. I was disappointed. Do not go until this Covid thing is over!!!!!

This is a "Girls" retreat. I was literally the only single man at the Resort and I was a "fish out of water" I would NEVER recommend that a single man travel to Miraval for that reason as well as the fact that it is extremely expensive.

Miraval was a wonderful experience. There are definitely prettier and more luxurious resorts with better dining options, but the experiences and spa at Miraval are unmatched. We will definitely return.
