Some Miraval guests like to cherry-pick activities spontaneously, while others choose an overall guiding principal (which can be arranged before arrival).
Fodor's "Giving Canyon Ranch a run for its money, this New Age health spa 30 miles north of Tucson has a secluded desert setting and beautiful Southwestern rooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Arizona has handful of wellness-oriented desert retreats, but Miraval Resort & Spa, 55 miles north of Tucson, stands out for an all-inclusive nightly rate." Full review
Star Service "This former dude ranch is a poster child for the modern-day spa retreat, and perhaps the only true competition for Sedona's Enchantment Resort." Full review

Instead of saddling up for trail rides with tobacco-spitting cowboys, guests sign up for an Equine Experience, where the emphasis is not on riding but on using horses "as a means of revealing patterns of learned behaviors that enhance or hinder the flow of relationships, creating opportunities to recognize how stress is created and, thereby, how stress can be avoided."
Gayot "Miraval delivers a tranquil and healing experience devoted to living in balance and mindfulness as a way of life."
Condé Nast Traveler "Guests of this mind-body-spirit resort, near the Santa Catalina Mountains in the High Sonoran Desert, report having "life-changing, transformative stays."" Full review
