Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa

Miraval is a magical place one goes to for all sorts of things - relaxation, solitude, connection with your inner self, connecting with nature. You can pick and choose from a long list of activities. The food is amazing and so healthy. You will be sad to leave when your time is up, but you will leave relaxed and refreshed - ready to face anything.

I went for one night to give myself a little time to reset. They let you arrive at 8am on check in day and stay until 5pm on check out day, so for 1 night stay you get a 2 day escape. I wanted to stay inside because it was cold and was happy to learn that everything is connected with indoor hallways. The cardio drumming activity was really fun and the spa is very relaxing.

Despite some glitches with the website and getting a different room than we originally thought, it was an overall great experience. I'm glad I accidentally came across this property. We thoroughly enjoyed the Family Week activities and there were luckily decent ones left despite booking kind of last minute. Hatchet Throwing and Artisanal Tacos were def faves. My 9 year old even tried corn tortillas. I loved the food options and all inclusive aspect. Two pools to use with the kids. My husband even went in the outside one in February! Loved interacting with Lucy the horse. One downfall I felt was the website and having to use the 4 different codes to book activities. But adding and changing once there ended up being easy. It can be difficult to reach people by phone or email due to volume but all staff was very friendly and it's just a beautiful place. There's still a bit of a learning curve with family week too so I would not give less stars especially as Miraval is trying to accommodate families and experiences for all when most resort spas do not do this.

The resort was fabulous! The choices of classes were plentiful. Classes I took included aerial yoga, taco making, leather journal making, and flower arranging. I also had a deep tissue massage which was heavenly. The food was spectacular! I wish I had more pictures to share but it is a device free resort so I wasn't able to take photos. That being said there were a lot of people on phones. I didn't see anyone told to put them away which was disappointing.

My husband and I had an incredible experience staying at Miraval for our babymoon. I highly recommend speaking with someone ahead of time to plan out each day, but the staff was extremely amenable to assisting with any last minute changes we had. The food was delicious and we both especially appreciated that they had plenty of snacks available throughout the day!
