Miraval Resort & Spa

Miraval Spa with my Twin Daughters

As someone who loves all things spa and wellness, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to experience this destination for myself. I made the drive to Austin and spent two serene nights at the exquisite Miraval Resort & Spa on Lake Austin with my twin daughters.

From the moment we approached the property, it felt as if we were entering another world. The winding drive into the resort revealed charming, beautifully manicured grounds that immediately set the tone for an indulgent escape.

Upon arrival, the check-in team greeted us warmly with a thoughtful welcome gift, refreshing cool towels, and stainless-steel water bottles to use throughout our stay. It was a gracious start to what became an unforgettable visit.

Our room was tranquil and inviting, featuring plush, cloud-soft beds, a tea and coffee station, and a spacious spa-style bathroom. After settling in, we took a leisurely walk to lunch, where we enjoyed dishes crafted from fresh ingredients straight from the garden; all while overlooking the stunning landscape surrounding the resort.

Next, we made our way to the spa to arrange our treatments and explore the serene facilities. The infinity-style pool overlooking Lake Austin felt like a sanctuary of its own, and the quiet room…with its peaceful view of the water; was the perfect place to unwind. Everything exuded a sense of elevated relaxation and luxury.

Miraval offers an impressive array of activities: beekeeping, gardening, horseback riding, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. You can move effortlessly from total tranquility to adventure within minutes. Their culinary options are equally impressive—fresh, wholesome, beautifully prepared dishes, along with cooking classes and nutritional workshops for those who want to learn and indulge.

Throughout the property, we found cozy gathering spaces, scenic walking paths, hidden nooks for reflection, and fire pits that make even a winter getaway feel warm and inviting. The atmosphere attracts groups of girlfriends seeking connection, couples on a restorative retreat, and anyone in search of a soulful reset.

The staff was exceptional…attentive, gracious, and always ready to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. With multiple levels of service available, it’s easy to tailor your experience to the degree of luxury you desire.

I also had the pleasure of meeting with the Business Development Manager during our stay, who graciously answered all my questions and shared insights about the resort.

Whether you’re planning a girls’ getaway, a romantic escape, or simply looking to recharge your spirit, Miraval Resort & Spa is a truly exceptional destination—one that makes you feel cherished, rejuvenated, and beautifully cared for.
