Miraval Austin

Wonderful mother daughter trip! We enjoyed a variety of activities—some together, some separate. Meals were delicious. Service exemplary. We will be back!

I’d definitely recommend giving yourself 3 full days if you can. We had limited time and couldn’t swing that, but I think that’s the sweet spot to really experience everything Miraval has to offer. The service was top-notch, and there’s an impressive variety of classes and activities, so there really is something for everyone. The digital-free zone and no-phone policy were also a surprisingly nice respite for someone who is constantly attached to technology. I left feeling genuinely refreshed. A special shoutout to Aleksei, our drink master, and Marcos, our daily server — both were absolutely amazing and really made the experience even better. Their service and personalities stood out, and they were a big part of what made our stay so enjoyable. My one disappointment — and this is probably very specific to me — was the food variety. Don’t get me wrong: everything we ate was delicious, and you can tell they put a lot of thought into their menus. I also really commend their focus on sustainability and thoughtful sourcing. But as someone who loves food and, more importantly, loves to snack, I wanted more variety and more diverse options. There’s one main restaurant, a café with snacks, and a pool bar that has a very limited food selection. While the buffet offerings change, breakfast and lunch tend to stay fairly consistent, and dinner has rotating options along with some signature dishes. So if you’re there several days and want to eat something completely different, the options can feel a little limited. Again, the food was tasty — I just wanted more snacks, more variety, and a little more culinary diversity. One other odd thing: my room had a noticeable smell of smoke, which I wasn’t expecting at all. It was strange, especially for a wellness resort. Unfortunately, the smell ended up getting into my clothes and bags, and when I got home, everything still smelled like smoke. It was definitely an unusual and disappointing part of the stay. The spa was also very good, and I had a great massage. I do think the spa could be elevated even further with a few additional amenities — things like a cold plunge and some other recovery-focused experiences would be a nice addition. Overall, though, I really enjoyed Miraval. I came home feeling refreshed, which is ultimately what you want from a wellness getaway. Just give me more snacks and a smoke-free room next time. 😂

Beautiful and the perfect quick reset for a busy schedule. Enjoyed the ease of eating gluten free during my stay as well as trying new wellness tactics.

An amazing experience. Everything from the serene setting, the enlightening classes and meditations, the friendly staff, the delicious and nourishing food and the spa treatment was exceptional!

My stay at Miraval was beyond my expectations. The property is lovely and while spread out was immaculately clean and well maintained. The food was terrific and I loved the morning and lunch buffets. I would have rather see a dinner buffet as the breakfast and lunch offerings were better than at dinner. I loved the Nest smoothies and am missing having them at home! The staff were very friendly and engaging. Everyone was eager to assist and help make our stay memorable. The programming is terrific and we took advantage of as much as we could and I would recommend anyone else do the same. There is a great variety so you can make the stay be as relaxing or as challenging as you want. My spa visits were ok, but not worth the $300+ price. I would have rather spent my money on some of the paid experiences and will do that next time. I will absolutely return!
