Miraval Arizona

I came here as a solo traveler. My wife and I used to come here, but she passed away earlier in the year. I came with the intention of spending some time with myself, and I am so glad I did. The staff and instructors were all beyond compassionate, empathetic, and kind. The class offerings were diverse, and I feel like they can meet most individuals' needs, whether you are there for R&R, grief, or just something to do. I do suggest staying overnight rather than a day pass, because spending time in that space yields so much more, in my opinion. Special shoutout to Adriana, Jessie, Alyson, Chris, and Marty at Miraval. Hope to see you all soon again.

This stay was a profound life changing experience, which I mostly attributed to my best friends (whom I went with) and also the masterful employees, instructors, and service providers. My best friend is a luxury travel agent and my husband used to travel for work so I have been fortunate to stay at many amazing properties. But the people whom I interacted with here were unrivaled! Got a tour from the very sweet and knowledgeable Elana:) Did about 15 classes and there were some amazing standouts. Rick (who led Happy Hips and Roll with it) led his classes w/ a calm, knowledgeable, humor, and unassuming presence that put me at ease and allowed me to release excess tension and inspired me to continue to better care for my body. I also loved my male Bodyweight HIIT instructor. My favorite instructor was Lauren (I think McCormack) who led Zumba and Afternoon Stretch. I think the word on her name tag was “Kind” or maybe I envisioned that bc she certainly embodied that. She led my Zumba class that included a wide age range. I loved it so much and I felt a powerful healing transformation that occurred in the class (yes Zumba lol). I felt inspired by her grace, loving kindness and beauty. It was a profound shift and I told her she helped me find my “spark” again! I also loved her peaceful and tension relieving Afternoon Stretch. I made 2 visits to the lobby store and both women were amazing. The woman who recently returned from knee surgery stayed open later bc I kept seeing items I loved. I went back right before my shuttle the next day and another cashier quickly rang up my items when I was rushing to make my shuttle. Many mahalos to all these divine healers and amazing individuals!

This is one of the best spas and retreats in the US and arguably internationally. It is a place to disconnect from the electronics and stresses of the world and connect with yourself or friends and family

Although not ideal, my husband and I fully maximized and enjoyed our 1 night stay at the Miraval. After work Monday, we flew from Long Beach to Vegas to Tucson. After renting a car, we stayed one night at Hyatt Place Tucson Central then drove ourselves to the Miraval. By 9am, we were checked in and enjoying breakfast. As Globalist, we were upgraded to an amazing King Suite which was conveniently located near the spa and dining. Although super hot in the summer, we enjoyed the small pool by the spa which had shady areas. My husband enjoyed the many classes and I enjoyed the spa and solitude. We loved the many options at dining and at the Palm Court Cafe. We tried so many juices, smoothies, teas and coffee drinks that normally we wouldn't - all of it was in included! The no fees and no tips gave us a sense of calm and enjoyment. After a 2nd great day, we left the resort at 3pm, taking the last flight out of Tucson, back through Vegas and back home to our kids before bedtime. This is our 3rd Miraval visit and concluded that even if we can only take a short trip, it's worth it, refreshing and necessary to get away.

The spa exceed our expectations in the best possible way. We came to disconnect and we did just that. The resorts amenities are state of the art and enhances your stay and overall experience. We had so much fun and rejuvenation we are already booking for this fall! Also amazing staff with an incredible shout out to Mina and Kory
