My husband and I have been here several times and each time, have found activities we love and benefit from taking again. Most notable activities: Pilates (many types), yoga (many types), deep tissue massages worked synergistically to improve my posture and decrease bodily discomfort. Interspersing less physically demanding classes such as bracelet and candle making classes, self compassion class, integrating self lecture, Tibetan bowls, journaling and journal making class, floating meditation, Optimizing Optimism class in between the Pilates and fitness classes allowed my body to rest. Additional fun physically active classes include Step, Barre, functional exercise, Yin/Yang aerial yoga, slow flow yoga, Pilates for joint mobility, and Pilates for tech-neck, balanced out my stay well. As far as practices I have (after past visits) and will take home with me: Pilates (mat and reformer) for posture, HeartMath for HRV/meditation, journaling, self-compassion exercises, and optimism are notable highlights. We always have a fantastic time at Miraval (hence our repeated visits) but this was our best yet! I'm looking forward to returning.

Exceeded our expectations. We had a pretty packed schedule with fitness classes, breath work and meditation classes, and spa treatments. We both loved the spa - the Ginger Healer treatment and the Miraval Grounding Massages were great. Definitely book spa treatments well in advance, at least 2-3 months out. I’d recommend any classes also be booked in advance, but from what we saw, most could accommodate more people. We stayed two nights in the Wyndhurst Mansion in the Frost room. The mansion is not connected to the other buildings, but it’s a quick walk. We took Amtrak from Moynihan to Hudson, NY, and Miraval has a complimentary shuttle from the train station to the property, which makes it an easy getaway from NYC. We would definitely visit again but during warmer weather.

“Peaceful Experience”

Very mindful and relaxing experience to connect with yourself and others. Staff are all very kind and passionate. There is so much to do and learn! And you can also opt for free time and lounge around! Love the no technology zones!

“Bland Food”

I found the food truly subpar, considering the typical older demographic of retirees I would assume the menu and recipes are based to suit them. Flavorless. No seasoning. One woman complained her meal was spicy from pepper… need I say more. I don’t even blame the chefs but the older clientele that … Mehr

I found the food truly subpar, considering the typical older demographic of retirees I would assume the menu and recipes are based to suit them. Flavorless. No seasoning. One woman complained her meal was spicy from pepper… need I say more. I don’t even blame the chefs but the older clientele that are over represented in how they wish operations to be run. And the spa has no co ed sauna or steam room which made my spouse spend most of time separate which wasn’t ideal. Also as an already health conscious individual I did find many activities to be rather basic in their approach, I wish things like yoga or certain classes would be more in depth or have levels to challenge those further along their health journey. Again I think this is a result of the older clientele’s needs being met above all else.
