Miraval Austin

I don’t even know where to begin—in the best way. I went to Miraval Austin with a friend not fully knowing what to expect, and what we found was such a peaceful, grounding experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming, and intentional. The rooms were comfortable and cozy, though they could use a little TLC. That said, the service was truly wonderful—every single employee we interacted with was kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there, which made the whole stay feel easy and cared for. The property is beautifully laid out and easy to navigate, and as a Midwesterner, it was a super easy trip for a long weekend. The spa was clean, serene, and a perfect place to fully unplug. And the food—so good. I loved the healthy options, the thoughtful menus featuring ingredients from Cypress Farm, and the great grab-and-go choices when we wanted something quick but still nourishing. What really stood out is that there truly is something for everyone here—solo travelers, couples, friends, or even work trips. I laughed, cried, slowed down, and honestly found myself a bit while I was there. Most of all, I got to connect with my friend on a deeper level without the usual distractions of everyday life. If you value your physical and mental health and are craving real rest and connection, I can’t recommend Miraval Austin (or any Miraval property) enough. I already can’t wait to go back.

Miraval Austin truly feels like an oasis. We spent three nights on property, and the setting is peaceful, expansive, and beautifully designed to encourage rest, reflection, and disconnection. The sunset views from the Serenity Pool were breathtaking, and the Hilltop Crossing patio genuinely made me feel like I was in another country. The classes were excellent—Sound of Soul with James was a standout. Programming overall felt thoughtful and aligned with the resort’s wellness mission. The food was delicious and nourishing, clearly prepared with intention. Planning ahead is essential, however. I strongly recommend booking activities, spa services, and dinner reservations well in advance, as availability fills quickly. The spa itself is beautiful and serene, though therapist quality was somewhat hit or miss. Greater consistency would elevate the experience. My one real drawback was dinner timing—one night the only available reservation was 8:30 pm, which felt too late for a wellness-focused resort. Service was polite, though not always polished, and a few dinner specials ran out. Overall: A stunning, restorative retreat that delivers on atmosphere, food, and programming. With advance planning, the experience is exceptional and absolutely worth five stars.

I met a long-time friend for four days of relaxation and fitness. We enjoyed the two hikes offered at the property. The guides were easy to talk with and knowledgeable about the fauna of the area. JJ and Emilie. We also had a great time in the Archery class. Who knew that there we bows for left-handed people like me? I had so much fun learning how to shoot properly and with the right equipment. Dylan was a great instructor and make the class fun for everyone. The Spa area was our favorite place to spend the afternoon. The pools, saunas, quiet room and spa treatments were so inviting and enjoyable. We also took two classes from a Nutritionist that were very informative. I left with handouts and a cookbook. I feel energized to eat a more wholesome diet!

Miraval is a great experience for first time wellness goers or repeat wellness clients. I was blown away by the menu, wine selection and classes on property! I cannot wait to experience the other properties!

I just spent three nights at Miraval Austin, and it was exactly the reset I needed. The mix of nature walks, spa treatments, meditation, ceramics, and even a visit to their sustainable farm was both grounding and inspiring. What I love most is the sense of calm and clarity this place gives, something that truly has to be experienced. The property is beautiful, the food nourishing, and every staff member brings so much care to what they do. Miraval has become a yearly tradition for me, and each stay reminds me why. I left feeling lighter, centered, and incredibly grateful.
