BOOKING COMPLIMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Each day, we select a healthy variety of programming from our extensive list of experiences so you should come prepared to be pleasantly surprised. Some of these activities require signup ahead of time due to limited space but many classes and programs are complimentary and open to anyone who wants to participate. When reviewing the Monthly Experience Guide, you will note that some programs are shaded in the schedule. The shaded experiences listed on the daily schedule are the ones that require signup. Once you arrive on property, the classes that require signup are posted on the Palm Court bulletin board.
If you see a complimentary activity that you would like to attend, but it’s not on the day or time that works for you, you’ll find that most of our offerings can easily be made into a private session or private group at an additional cost. See Guest Services for details or pre-book in advance with your Miraval Advisor
On a waitlist?: We strongly encourage you to show up to complimentary classes when your name is on the wait list. Space may become available for you to participate in the class.
Signed up, but changed your mind?: If you have signed up for a complimentary experience and you choose not to attend, please erase your name from the card so that someone else may participate.

PLANNING YOUR STAY
To begin, explore our website at www.miravalresorts.com to view the various activities and spa services available to plan your experience. View the current Monthly Experience Guide on our website. This guide will offer you detailed information about spa services and private sessions that we offer. You will also find a daily schedule of classes and activities inside the guide, as well as bios for our Miraval specialists. A hard copy of the current monthly Experience Guide will be given to you upon arrival as well.
MyMiraval Experience Planner: We invite you to introduce yourself to our Miraval Advising team by taking a brief interactive survey at www.mymiraval.com. Your results will help us personalize your Miraval experience and will direct you to a list of recommended activities based on your preferences and reasons for coming to Miraval.
We recommend that you reserve all appointments at least 3 weeks in advance of your stay. Our Miraval Advisors are available to answer all your questions. You can reach them by phone at 800.232.3969 Monday-Friday from 7am to 6pm and Saturday-Sunday from 8am to 5pm. Note: These hours are based on Arizona time. You can also reach the team via email at miravalprebook@miravalresorts.com.
In addition to booking appointments, your Miraval Advisor can make recommendations based on specific needs or answer questions regarding any treatment or consultation. Most of our classes and lectures are complimentary and open to all. Some of our classes, for which a fee applies, require you to add them to your itinerary in advance.
Using Your Resort Credit: Miraval offers more than 90 different complimentary activities and classes to choose from every week. Plus, you may apply your nightly resort credit toward more than 175 fee-based experiences, including activities, workshops, spa services, private sessions, and private groups. If your all-inclusive package includes a nightly resort credit, you may apply it toward any fee-based offering that is notated with an RC symbol. Fee-based offerings without an RC symbol will be an additional cost to your stay package.
Set Aside Time for Yourself: Finally, we recommend that you don’t overschedule yourself. Remember to set aside some of your time for personal reflection – take a walk through the Labyrinth, sit by the Kiva, lie by the pool, or lounge in the Quiet Room in our Life in Balance Spa. The self-discovery process is the best part of the journey!

Click-here to review the activities available to teens. For full descriptions see the Activities & Private Sessions Glossary in the monthly Experience Guide. Regular fees apply. Miraval expects teenage guests to conduct themselves in a respectful manner while on property so as not to disrupt the mindful atmosphere that we create for all our guests. Miraval reserves the right to allow or refuse participation in these and other experiences on a case-by-case basis.

WEATHER
Tucson is the sunniest city in the United States with an average of more than 350 days of sunshine every year. Tucson days are warm and sunny, and nights are cool and comfortable. Our mild temperatures during spring, fall and winter are legendary. While temperatures rise in the summer, low humidity keeps even the warmest days enjoyable. While Tucson is located in the Sonoran Desert, the landscape is surprisingly lush. Thanks to our two rainy seasons in late summer and early winter, specially-adapted desert plants thrive all over Southern Arizona. Click-here for current weather conditions.
WHAT TO PACK
Arizona is known for its warm sunny days year round with a blanket of coolness in the desert morning and evenings. For maximum comfort we suggest layers of athletic or yoga wear during your day. Evening dining is resort casual and a light wrap or fleece for the cooler desert evening is suggested. All equestrian activities require long pants and closed toed shoes. Challenge activities require tennis shoes. Spa services such as Aqua Zen require a swimsuit and other services such as Thai massage require loose comfortable clothing. It is recommended you bring the following items: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, yoga wear, workout clothing, swimsuit, running and hiking shoes, camera and journal.
The Raindance Pass Boutique is available on property for purchase of all types of athletic, yoga, fitness apparel and resort wear.
