CULINARY & DINING
At Miraval Arizona, we invite you to experience mindful eating.
Here, eating well is not about denying yourself but about slowing down and taking the time to enjoy and appreciate food—not just what it tastes like, but where it comes from and how it’s prepared. At Miraval Arizona, every dish is created consciously and with care.
Ever-delicious and always included in your stay, the food you’ll eat at Miraval Arizona celebrates the desert’s distinct tastes and textures, featuring fresh ingredients from our very own garden. Our balanced dining options reflect our core pillar of mindfulness—at every meal, in every moment.
ALLERGIES & DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
If there’s anything we need to know about what you can and cannot eat, please reach out to our Experience Planning team in advance of your stay. Allergies and other restrictions will be noted on your profile so our chefs can take care to accommodate your needs.
RECIPES FOR A LIFE IN BALANCE
Discover a wide range of new recipes and equip yourself with lifelong skills to create a life in balance. This cookbook also serves as a manual for cultivating knowledge, sharing techniques, and infusing mindfulness into your daily life.
Learn. Cook. Eat. Enjoy.
Choose from a number of inspired options—whether in our restaurants, poolside, on a bench under palm trees or in the comfort of your room. And don’t forget—at Miraval Resorts, food is intended to be an experience. We have a number of hands-on and hands-off culinary activities for you to explore.
Available, but not included
There are wellness resorts that don’t serve alcohol. We’re not one of them. At Miraval Resorts, we believe in moderation in all things. If your definition of wellness includes conscious consumption of alcohol, we welcome you to wind down the day with a signature cocktail or a glass of carefully curated wine—available in our Cactus Flower Restaurant, Palm Court Café, Coyote Moon Bar & Lounge, Oasis Pool Bar, or in the comfort of your room. Please note that alcoholic beverages are not included in the cost of your stay, but you needn’t bring your wallet with you. Charges for alcohol will be added to your account for payment at check-out. Cheers!
Life in Balance Culinary Kitchen
Our state-of-the-art educational culinary facility is home to our signature hands-on culinary workshops, as well as special events and celebrations. Open and experiential, this special space allows you to learn alongside Miraval’s culinary team and understand the right tools and techniques to add flavor and texture to healthy meals. You’ll leave with new interests and insights to use in your own kitchen.
Cactus Flower Restaurant
Linger inside or luxuriate on the patio at our main restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Overlooking the Catalina Mountains, our primary restaurant is a space for guests to cross paths, connect, and share their love of food. Each dish harnesses the skills of our chefs and the knowledge of our Miraval nutritionists so you can be confident that every choice is a healthy one.
Please note that reservations are required for dinner at Cactus Flower Restaurant. We suggest visiting the host stand daily to make your dinner reservation.
Palm Court Café
Between spa treatments, activities, and adventures, this is the perfect spot to grab a horchata smoothie or prickly pear iced tea, or a healthy snack to fuel whatever’s up next. Grab and go, or sit and snack.
COYOTE MOON BAR & LOUNGE
There may be wellness resorts that don’t serve alcohol. We’re not one of them. At Miraval Resorts, we believe in moderation in all things. Wind down the day in our cozy lounge with a signature cocktail or glass of fine wine, or sample tasty hors d’oeuvres.
Oasis Poolside Café
Jalapeño margaritas taste best poolside. Enjoy one while you soak up the ever-shining Arizona sun, or opt for a Sonoran-inspired snack or fresh-squeezed juice. Dip your toes in the Oasis pool and don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate the sweeping desert views.
