US destination spa brand Miraval is aiming to open its new spa at Miraval Berkshires in Lenox, Massachusetts, in June 2020. The official opening date will be confirmed when stay-at-home restrictions are lifted by the state.
The new resort is set on the same property as Wyndhurst Mansionresort and immersed in a 380-acre woodland setting including an apiary – originally designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape artist behind New York’s Central Park.
Miraval Berkshires joins two existing Miraval properties in Austin and Tucson – the brand’s flagship destination, which opened in 1995.
The Life in Balance Spa will cover 29,000sq ft and feature 28 treatment rooms, with a spa menu offering signature Miraval treatments, including Vasudhara hydrotherapy and Naga Thai massages.
Simon Marxer, Miraval Group’s director of spa and wellbeing, told Spa Business: “The spa menu will feature new treatments developed in partnership with leading natural beauty brand Naturopathica – such as the Abundant Harvest Facial – as well as new exclusive-to-Miraval services like Tula, which blends the healing art of guasha with other complementary techniques.”
Guests will be offered Ayurvedic rituals, facials, massages, body renewal therapies, ritual energy treatments, as well as hair and nail services. All treatments are inspired by the destination’s natural setting and have been designed to focus on healing and wellbeing.
In addition, Miraval Berkshires will offer guests three pools – including an indoor and outdoor pool – seven Jacuzzis, a fitness space and outdoor challenge course.
Guests will also be able to visit a dedicated Body Mindfulness Centres offering fitness class and facilities for yoga and Pilates, as well as a range of wellbeing activities such as lectures, hiking, racquet sports, energy work and nutrition enhancement.
The property has been completely re-imagined and renovated, and has been decorated with a light and airy colour palette with pops of colour.
The destination will feature 100 guest rooms within seven individual, two-story cottages inspired by country house glamour and idyllic New England comfort, designed by New York-based Irish designer, Clodagh, who also designed the Life in Balance spa in Tucson.
