Miraval began in 1995 with a powerfully simple vision: life is more meaningful and enjoyable when physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual components are in balance. Guided by this philosophy, Miraval Arizona was born in Tucson, set against the Santa Catalina Mountains in the High Sonoran Desert. Guests come to Miraval individually or with family and friends to relax, refresh, and learn to live and feel better. There are no strict regimens. Instead, choice was the guiding principle, with a wide range of programs and experiences designed to create overall well-being and help guests become more aware of themselves and their surroundings - live in the moment through the means that work best for them.Miraval's pioneering approach to activities, experiences and personal treatments - enveloped in a high-touch, personalized experience for each of its guests - helped to define the destination spa industry that has flourished worldwide in recent decades and led to Miraval's top ranking by the most respected voices in luxury travel and wellness, including Condé Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, Zagat Survey, and SpaFinder.
