Travel
things,” says Webb. “Is it safe
or unsafe? Clear or unclear?”
Remembering to breathe deeply,
the Miraval “mantra,” I calmed my
nerves and miraculously was able
to get the horse to follow my
directions. It was definitely
a “horse whisperer” moment
and one for the memory books.
All this activity, fresh air and
introspection do wonders to
stimulate the appetite. But, if you
think you’ll be restricted to a
Spartan diet simply because you’re
at a spa, think again. Miraval’s
award-winning cuisine is created
with the belief that healthy
ingredients can also mean exquisite
flavor. Guests are encouraged to
explore mindful eating and discover
tasty, satisfying dishes that are
moderate in calories and fat. For
those interested in learning healthy
cooking tips and tricks, the spa
offers a variety of instructive
culinary workshops and
cooking demos.
Mealtime at Miraval is a wonderful
opportunity to connect and share
experiences with others. Don’t worry
if you come solo. You’ll be in good
company, as there are others who
have chosen to make this journey
on their own.
