Miraval Austin Overview

This is more of a "drive" property than the Berkshires and Arizona properties, so the average stay is 3 nights (shorter than the others). I would not suggest staying fewer than that; there's just too much to enjoy!

Rooms

I was in a Dreamcatcher Queen. It was perfect for solo travel; it would be a bit tight for a couple. This was in building 7 which was nice because it's central to everything.

Hill Country King is the next category up and is a bit larger with a nice seating area, and bigger bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower. This would be my go-to for someone who doesn't want to splurge for a suite.

I loved the suites in Sanctuary Cove (buildings 11, 12 and 13.) They are more of a walk from restaurant/spa, but I'm talking an extra two minutes or so ... worth it to have more privacy and more space. There are suites in here that would be great for bachelorette parties (also - I saw SO many guests on babymoons!). 

F&B

All meals are included and the food is FANTASTIC. True farm to table (I toured the farm). Breakfast and lunch are buffet style but they have a lot of a la carte options so it doesn't feel too "buffet" ish.

The dinner menu is wonderful because half of the items are always on it and the other half rotate DAILY based on what is fresh! I really liked this because I tend to get sick of eating at the same restaurant over and over during a stay like this.

They have a coffee shop with any type of specialty coffee or tea you could imagine, as well as smoothies and wellness shots. There is a grab and go area that rotates throughout the day and has everything from breakfast sandwiches to avocado cacao cookies (you need these in your life). Again, all of this is included and very convenient.

The yoga room is PURE MAGIC and there are so many different types of classes. Also, gym, pilates class, challenge/ropes course, you name it.

You can see the spa menu online but there are sooooo many fantastic options. 

The hardest thing was choosing my daily schedule. They have around 50 things a day - mixology classes, reiki, cardio drumming, the list goes on. Plus spa!

Spa pool was a bit blah but the main pool is lovely and has a snack shop with (included) farm to table treats.
