Miraval Tucson

Described by Zagat as an “Eden-esque camp for adults,” Miraval Tucson basks in the serene warmth of the Sonoran Desert, just outside of Tucson, Arizona. Ranked in the “Top 15 Destination Spas” by Travel & Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, meeting and incentive guests quickly fall under the rejuvenating spell of nature and nurture.

Newly renovated, 102 guest rooms nestle in Southwestern-style casitas throughout the lush desert oasis. Gourmet dining and heavenly spa treatments add to the sense of well-being. Meanwhile, active guests enjoy the challenges of wall-climbing and mountain biking, plus swims in the Olympic lap pool and workouts in the fitness center. But the highlight of the “Miraval Experience” lies in programs by recognized experts focusing on healthy aging, passion, labyrinth meditation, culinary arts, and an unforgettable horse-whisperer equine experience.

Launching in March, the renowned resort is offering corporate groups an innovative brainstorming retreat that will inspire increased productivity, performance, and satisfaction. These custom two to five night retreats include a variety of components that have been proven to promote a healthy corporate organization. Guests will experience the benefits of nutritious, energizing meals, classes with take home tools to place the group on the cutting edge of productivity, challenging physical activities, and team building. Created to encourage life-long learning, a corporate retreat at Miraval will inspire lasting changes within an organization.

It is possible to boost concentration, memory, and stress resistance by following a nutritious diet. Miraval's cuisine will integrate omega-3 fatty acids, micronutrients and choline, all of which enhance brain function. The Executive Chef at Miraval, Mary Nearn, will create three flavorful, well-balanced meals daily, which will leave guests excited, rejuvenated, and satisfied. Breakfast will be served at 8 AM, Lunch at 12 PM, and Dinner at 8 PM, with refreshments offered between meals to help maintain energy levels and metabolic activity.

Research has shown that peak mental acuity occurs twice a day: early morning and early evening. Miraval suggests that guests partake in two brainstorming sessions, one at 9 AM and one at 4 PM. Miraval provides the perfect venue for a group of any size from the Catalina Center which seats 130 people and is complete with a stage, sound system, built in rear screen projection, built in leather executive seating, and podium to the Navajo Room, which offers a boardroom table ideal for ten people. There is over 6600 sq. ft. of meeting space to choose from. For an additional fee, organizations may choose to have a Miraval facilitator guide them through the brainstorm by using Miraval's core philosophies to provide inspiration and encourage success.

Studies have shown that when used in a business context, the practice of mindfulness, or cultivating continuous undistracted attention to your work and life, increases creativity and productivity and decreases burnout. Miraval offers two programs, Mindful Decision Making and Mindful Stress Mastery, to corporate groups looking to transform their attitude and reach unprecedented levels of achievement. Guests will discover new clarity, learn to manage stress, strengthen their minds and bodies and ultimately enhance their ability to respond to challenges that arise.

Not only do natural light and exercise have a proven positive affect on the brain, but Miraval's outdoor Challenge Activities will also inspire teamwork, an increased resistance to stress, and an empowering ability to adapt to change. While the brain is least alert-from 1pm to 3pm-guests can choose from a range of invigorating physical activities set in the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains. In addition to hiking, mountain biking and tennis, guests can take advantage of exhilarating corporate adventure courses. Co-workers will hone trust, strategy, and perseverance as they work as a community to complete challenges like Quantum Leap II, involving leaping off a 35 foot pole, Whale Watch, balancing and moving as one on a wood platform, and Mohawk Walk, traversing a series of cables with partners.

Miraval, recognizing the importance of deep, refreshing sleep and its link to energized waking, encourages guests to take the rest that they need. Dr. Rubin Naiman, Miraval's Director of Sleep Programs, will meet with guests to provide tips for accomplishing restful sleep, including instructions for creating the ideal sleep environment upon a guest's return home. With adequate sleep, participants will rest the body as well as the mind, helping to consolidate memory, improve judgment, promote concentration, boost mood, speed-up reaction time and sharpen problem solving and accuracy.

Miraval's "Executive Strategy Package" offers groups an empowering and unique experience to sharpen mental acuity and develop fresh ideas. The cost of the package ranges from $350++ to $750++ per person/per night and is completely all inclusive. Please contact Miraval's Regional Directors for information at 520-825-4000 or visit the group section of our website at www.miravalresorts.com for your regional sales director's contact information. Your director will assist in the arrangement and customization of your company's "Executive Strategy Package."
