Miraval Arizona

I did not know what to expect before going, but Miraval was like no place I have ever been. I had just retired and needed to decompress. The calmness of the whole property was just what I needed. The experiences were unlike any other I have ever had.

Such an amazing experience with friends! Reset, recharge and reconnect! Miraval helps you to do it all! I look forward to this trip every year, and it never disappoints. The new spa is gorgeous!

Excellent time of the year to stay at Miraval in AZ. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the positive energy of all staff members. I would highly recommend resort/retreat!

Given Miraval Arizona's price point and reputation, this stay was deeply disappointing. The food offered at the resort was overall poor, bland, and far below what you would expect from a luxury wellness destination. There is little variation in food at lunch. Many of the food items were stale (bread, cookies, tortilla chips). The "hors d'oeuvres" were stale tortilla chips, crudite, and various dips. My sister had a prenatal massage, and the provider smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, which is completely inappropriate and was very uncomfortable for her. My own 50-minute Sacred Sounds massage was disappointing. The session started 5-6 minutes late, but still ended on time. It was advertised as including breath work, but there was no breath work component. The advertisement does not make it clear that the sound bowl portion dominates the treatment, leaving me with maybe 15 minutes total time for a full body massage. This felt misleading and not what I paid top tier pricing for. It was difficult to find the location of a couple activities, which led to us missing them. One was the stretch class, which is supposed to be at the Body Mindfulness Center. Once we arrived to the BMC, there were no signs directing us where to go. There are several rooms off the main gym, but none had a sign indicating which one the stretch class was in. The 2-hour archery class included at least a full hour of talking and information before you even get to try the activity. Checkout was unnecessarily complicated for us and another group of women. This caused our airport shuttle to leave late. The shuttle took longer than we were told, which led to us getting to the airport only 45 min before our flight took off. Miraval had been a bucket list experience for my sister and I for years. To say that we were wildly disappointed is an understatement. While our room was beautiful, we found ourselves looking at other luxury wellness resorts to try in the future. Miraval charges top tier pricing and is routinely on many travel publications' lists for must-do wellness experiences. It certainly did not live up to that reputation.

What stood out most about my experience at Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa was truly the hospitality. From the moment we arrived, it felt like everyone genuinely cared about making our stay exceptional. The staff didn’t just do their jobs—they went out of their way to anticipate our needs, offer warm greetings, and make thoughtful gestures that made us feel welcomed and valued. Whether it was a friendly smile, a helpful recommendation, or someone taking extra time to ensure everything was just right, the level of attentiveness was consistent throughout the resort.
