MIRAVAL RESORT & SPA IN TUCSON, ARIZONA
Surrounded by 400 acres of idyllic land, Miraval is a destination resort inspiring its guests to live a life in balance through mindfulness. The resort’s healing method taps into ancient practices to help guests’ become in tune with their inner selves. Many of the spa’s services include time-tested techniques like Qi grounding, acupuncture, and Tui-Na.

This multisensory experience encourages guests to let go, look introspectively and discover their inner strength,” explains Simon Marxer, Miraval Group’s Director of Spa and Wellbeing.
