CHICAGO (September 19, 2023) – Miraval Resorts & Spas, a leader in transformative wellbeing destinations, announces the opening of its newest experience, Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara, located within the iconic Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa. The grand opening of Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara represents the expansion of Miraval Resorts’ mindfulness experiences to a new location, situated along Southern California’s picturesque Pacific coastline, and the final phase of Park Hyatt Aviara’s $60-million-dollar resort-wide renovation. For resort guests, locals and Southern California visitors seeking a wellbeing retreat, the new Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara features signature Miraval spa services, wellness activities, and culinary workshops. Furthering Miraval Resorts’ mission of inspiring individuals to create a life in balance through mindfulness, Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara joins the brand’s award-winning destination resorts in Tucson, Ariz., Austin, Texas and Lenox, Mass.
“Miraval Life in Balance Spas are designed as sanctuaries for respite, reflection and rejuvenation,” said Susan Santiago, head of lifestyle and Miraval operations. “Through Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara, we’ve blended elements of the San Diego landscape with Miraval signature spa and wellbeing offerings to create an intention-driven experience that supports guests in creating balance and cultivating mindfulness.”
Miraval Life in Balance Spa Experiences
Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara features an expansive menu of signature, globally inspired services designed to soothe and nurture the body and mind while focusing guests’ attention on the present moment. Ayurveda spa services honor natural therapies and timeless rituals from India while Energy & Eastern services include Vasudhara, an award-winning sensory water experience and Nâga, a Thai deep-tissue massage facilitated by a provider suspended in hanging silks. Other spa experiences range from rejuvenating skincare, traditional and prenatal massage, body renewal rituals, nail care, reflexology, craniosacral and Reiki practices.
In addition to Miraval signature spa treatments, brand new services have been exclusively developed for the Miraval Life in Balance Aviara experience. Taking inspiration from the resort’s location along the coast of Carlsbad, new services include Ocean Song, a body renewal ritual that invokes the vitality and peace of an ocean wave. The service begins with a rosemary sea salt exfoliation followed by a soothing sweet birch and magnesium soak and a full body massage. The service concludes with the harmonic vibrations of a singing bowl and sounds of the sea to center the soul. The exclusive Warrior’s Recovery is perfect for rejuvenation following a round at Aviara Golf Club or a match at the Aviara Racquet Club and is designed to restore muscles and ease tension for the most active of warriors. The body is prepared for a deep-tissue massage with warm herbal poultices and advanced stretching techniques to create a synergy that leaves the body and spirit feeling relaxed and recharged.
Miraval Life in Balance Spa services are complemented by a daily schedule of life-enriching activities from sound bathing to chakra balancing, breathwork, meditation and more.
