Miraval hotels
Adults turn from screens to mindfulness, with meals and wellness activities part of the stay.
Miraval makes an adults-only resort stay around wellbeing, with an all-inclusive approach that gives guests time to focus on themselves. Founded in Tucson in 1995 and acquired by Hyatt in 2017, the collection helped establish destination wellness as a substantial reason to travel.
4 Miraval hotels in 2 countries on the Luxury Hotels Atlas, each placed on the six LHA Tiers.
- Owned by Hyatt Hotels Corporation
- Worldwide: Four destination resorts operating as of mid-2026 — three across the United States (Arizona, Texas, Massachusetts) and one inaugural international outpost on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. The brand remains intentionally small: depth of programming over breadth of footprint is central to the Miraval identity.

History
The original Arizona Miraval made a program of wellbeing experiences part of an all-inclusive stay, with activities extending from movement and meditation to time outdoors. Its no-gratuities approach helped guests focus on the experience itself. Hyatt’s 2017 acquisition supported new resorts while retaining Miraval’s distinct booking and wellness model.
