LocationsCELL PHONE AND DIGITAL DEVICE POLICY – MIRAVAL MODE
Miraval is a digital device-free property.
Mindfulness is the core of the Miraval philosophy. In everything we do, we encourage our guests to live in the present moment, conscious of the unique intersection of mind, body and spirit. In order to foster a tranquil environment for all our guests, please understand and adhere to “Miraval Mode” during your visit with us.
Miraval Mode is allowing yourself to unplug and be present. Miraval guests are required to unplug from all digital devices, including your cellphone, e-readers, tablets, and focus on living in the present moment and being aware of your surroundings. Leave your phone in your cell phone sleeping bag you receive at check-in, place it in its cell phone “bed” and enjoy living in the now. We understand that you may want to capture your experience on your phone camera, please do, but be mindful of the other guests on property. If you do need to use your digital device outside of your room, we will show you the designated areas on property where device usage is permitted.
During your visit you may notice some our colleagues on cellular devices – rest assured this is our means for taking care our guest’s needs and maintaining our beautiful property.
Also, in consideration of those around you, please refrain from using digital devices to take notes in lectures/workshops. Complimentary notepads and pens are provided for your convenience.
I understand that I may be approached by a Miraval staff member to terminate cell phone usage in areas not designated for digital devices. I will be mindful of guests around me when using it in designated cell phone areas.
WHAT TO PACK
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 evening is suggested. All equestrian activities require long pants and closed toed shoes. Challenge activities require tennis shoes. Spa services such as Vasudhara 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. Check current weather conditions prior to arrival to pack accordingly.
COMPLIMENTARY AIRPORT SHUTTLE
Miraval provides complimentary airport shuttle service to/from Austin-Bergstrom Airport. Please email austin.transportation@miravalresorts.com or call 512.531.5700 to share your airline carrier, flight number along with arrival and departure times. You must provide your air travel information at least 72 hours prior to arrival in order to utilize the complimentary airport shuttle van.
Upon arrival at the Austin-Bergstrom Airport, proceed to the baggage claim carousel #3 after collecting any checked bags at your flights carousel. A Miraval driver will meet you with a “Miraval” sign. If you do not see a driver right away, please stay inside the airport and near carousel #3 and the driver will be around shortly; they may be assisting other guests from another flight.
For guest arriving in the Austin-Bergstrom South Terminal, after collecting your luggage please proceed outside the terminal where your shuttle driver will await them curbside and can be identified by the Miraval signage that he or she is holding.
Departure vans leave at the top of the hour. The afternoon prior to your departure date you will receive a detailed voice mail in your guest room with your departure and luggage pickup time.
If the complimentary shuttle does not meet your needs, private car transportation may be arranged for an additional fee. Please note that our last complimentary shuttle departs from the resort to the airport at 2:00pm daily. For private car arrangements or other questions, please call us at 512.531.5700. Even if you are driving to Miraval Austin we would still like to hear from you to update your arrival schedule.
RESORT CREDITS

Book your fee-based experience prior to arrival by calling 855.234.1672 or during your stay with Guest Services.
SCHEDULING ACTIVITIES, PRIVATE SESSIONS & SPA SERVICES

GRATUITIES & TIPPING
Miraval is a non-tipping resort property. We believe a “no tipping” policy is essential to a mindful guest experience. Once you arrive at Miraval, a friendly “thank you” or note on a guest comment card is the best tip you can give and the only one we allow.
