MAKE IT A "MINDFUL" WINTER AT MIRAVAL LIFE IN BALANCETM RESORT AND SPA

Award-winning Destination Spa offering Ultimate and Seven-Night Packages through winter 2004

November 2003 (CATALINA, Arizona) - Winter is an enchanting time of year in Arizona. As the low-slung sun casts artful shadows over the Sonoran Desert and Santa Catalina Mountains, the desert comes alive with brilliant flowers and succulents. So, too, does Miraval Life In Balance Resort & Spa, with an array of new programs and activities that will challenge, engage and inspire guests.

From the popular new Conquering Your Inner Everest experience for men to the Sexuality & Vitality program launching in January, Miraval remains dedicated to exploring its core philosophy of "mindfulness" and bringing balance to the mind, body and spirit. Newly appointed Executive Chef Bill Wavrin celebrates his first winter at Miraval by adding his own unique and talented seasonal touches to Miraval's renowned "Conscious Cuisine." With all this and more, it's little surprise that readers of Travel & Leisure just ranked Miraval the "#1 Destination Spa" in the world.
