A company retreat at Miraval Resorts is more than a departure from the office or another corporate gathering in an alternate setting.

It is a true gift to your team.

Too often, we hear work retreats described as a compulsory vacation or enforced drudgery. At Miraval Resorts, we offer a different model. It surprises and inspires guests each time by finding and fulfilling the needs and hopes—straightforward or subtle—that create cohesive teams.

We take your group through a curated journey of shared and individual experiences over several days. Each event builds progressively to create opportunities for applying our core principles of mindfulness, cooperation, and transformation.

Miraval Resorts offers unique experiences, innovative natural spa treatments, and transformative programming that can help individuals and groups shift their perspectives. Our life-changing retreats impact people on a professional and personal level.

Above all, your team will have fun together and relax. They will practice being in a device-free environment and find new ways to communicate and connect. It’s pretty amazing to see what happens when people close their laptops and leave their phones behind. They engage in meaningful conversations, learn new things about themselves and each other, and make genuine connections to people and nature. They return to the office recharged with renewed purpose and passion.

We chose Miraval Austin as an example, but any of our three full-scale resorts could be ideal for your retreat. Miraval Austin is centrally located in the USA, easy to fly nonstop or drive into, and conveniently close to Austin’s airport and city center (a short, 30-minute drive).

Austin’s unofficial motto is “Keep it Weird,” nodding to its eclectic and unique nature and a call to maintain authenticity. Miraval Austin is authenticity emergent—in personal expression, professional connections, and wellbeing—and we like to say that we “keep it well.”

In this dawning age of AI and automated everything, it can be startlingly refreshing to speak with a human being when planning something as nuanced as a team retreat. At Miraval Austin, the same person who co-curates your retreat with you will greet you when you arrive at the resort and guide you through every step of the way.

In person. In real life.

When was the last time you had the attention of an actual person shepherding you through anything?

A Miraval salesperson helps you understand our retreats‘ large-scale impact on your group instead of asking you to imagine it without context. We learn about your needs and motivation for your attendees and help you create a rewarding and relaxing experience.

A team retreat at Miraval Resorts is the perfect union of insight and inspiration—custom-designed to create new ways for your group to connect, communicate, and enjoy being together.

STEP 1: SET INTENTIONS

What is an intention? It’s the energy that puts your goals into action. The first step is identifying those goals and working with our team to propel them into action. They could include anything from team bonding and increasing morale to improving work culture, identifying talent, or relieving stress.

STEP 2: BE CLEAR

Before you begin, be clear about your team’s expectations and limitations. Know your budget range, available dates, and transportation needs. Miraval Austin has a two-night minimum, with most groups staying between two and three nights. You can offer your teams pre- and post-visit options to enjoy the resort independently. Our airport shuttle has daily pick-up times starting in the morning.

STEP 3: CONNECT

Connect with a sales team member to work on availability and rates and curate your program by submitting an RFP here or calling us directly at 512.531.5710. You will get a reply within 24 hours to clarify any questions and confirm your interest.

STEP 4: COMMIT

When you are ready to move forward, you will sign a contract and meet your assigned event planning expert, who will help you select private dinners, meeting locations, activities, and all the details.

STEP 5: COLLABORATE

Your Miraval event planner is your ongoing personal contact from beginning to end. They will curate your retreat and meet you in person when you arrive, shepherding you through each step of the process. It’s a collaborative, personal process that guides you through every detail, including transportation, accommodations, meals, experiences, gift bags, promotional email communication, and preparation.

STEP 6: PREPARE

Once you have co-created your itinerary and events with our planner, it’s time to let your team know about it. Miraval offers several tips for guests before arriving here, including preparing for a digital device-free space. Remember that Miraval is a gratuity-free resort, so guests don’t have to worry about wallets. Attire is resort-casual, meaning the only suit they need to pack is one for bathing.

STEP 7: PERSONALIZE

All itineraries include space for attendees to schedule personal time exploring the many offerings of our resorts. Guests can book spa services or private sessions with our specialists here through our online booking portal and a confirmation code. Send your team the Miraval Austin Guest Guide, a catalog of our extensive offerings with descriptions included so they can familiarize themselves with their upcoming adventure.

STEP 8: BEGIN YOUR RETREAT

Get energized and excited to embark on a meaningful and memorable journey with your team. Our event planners are ready to answer your call and eager to begin working with you to create a gift that offers your team a new way to stay grounded, feel grateful, and continue growing.
