What it is

An all-inclusive, 100-room wellness getaway in the Berkshires’ rolling hills. What’s included in the rate:

Luxury Accomodations

Unlimited Access to a variety of wellness activities, including hiking, group fitness classes, yoga, meditation, and wellness lectures.

Access to the resort’s facilities, such as pools, saunas, hot tubs, and the Life in Balance Spa.

Resort Credit: A nightly resort credit is provided for use towards spa services, private sessions with Miraval specialists, and other fee-based activities.

Miraval is a gratuity-free resort, so no tips are needed.

Complimentary shuttle transfers from designated airports included.

What it isn't

A resort where tipping is allowed. We promise, not tipping is waaay more relaxing.

What we think

Miraval is about as far from resort-as-usual as it gets. Take the accommodations, where amenities include Tibetan singing bowls and meditation pillows (say “ommm”) alongside more traditional luxuries. We recommend booking a room in the recently revamped Discovery and Serenity Cottages, once a boys’ prep school, Cranwell, attended by Ted Kennedy. No matter where you sleep, your days will be chockablock with self-care; each day’s schedule is dotted with activities that range from learning the fundamentals of kayaking to guided photography walks, included in your rate. (Though it’s definitely worth paying extra for certain offerings, like the “Appreciating Chocolate” class and “Hatchet Throwing.”)

You're here because

The 380 acre property was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead—a.k.a. the mastermind of Central Park.

The Moment

You’ve been feeling more than a little downtrodden lately, and it’s starting to show on your face. But one session in the spa, complete with a Triple Power Peel that’s exactly as plumping as it sounds, and you could swear you look 28 again. Bliss.

Location

Smack dab in the center of Lenox (established 1750), just a couple blocks from The Mount, writer Edith Wharton’s estate. Boston’s a cinematic three hour drive east.
