Miraval Resorts & Spas has unveiled results from what it’s calling a first-of-its-kind third-party research study suggesting that immersive wellness retreats deliver measurable, lasting benefits and not just a momentary recharge.
Conducted by nonprofit wellbeing science organization Humin, the study tracked 266 guests across multiple time points: before their stay, two weeks after, and 60 days out. The findings: 66 percent of surveyed guests reported reduced perceived stress post-stay, with 62 percent still reporting that benefit at the 60-day mark. Nearly all guests surveyed — 95 percent — reported a strong sense of belonging within the Miraval community, while more than 70 percent said they formed new, meaningful connections on property.
For Simon Marxer, the vice president of spa and wellbeing at Miraval Resorts, the data confirmed what the brand had long believed anecdotally.
