Miraval Berkshires is an adults-only wellness resort and spa in Lenox, Massachusetts, set around an 1894 mansion on 380 wooded acres. It's best for adults who want a full daily menu of yoga, hikes, spa time and creative classes in a calm, device-free setting.
What it's like
Miraval Berkshires sits on 380 acres in Lenox, in western Massachusetts, with grounds laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect behind New York's Central Park. At its heart is Wyndhurst Mansion, built in 1894, which now offers rooms in the old Gilded Age style alongside the resort's main accommodation.
It's part of the Miraval group, owned by Hyatt, and it follows the brand's familiar idea: slow down, pay attention and try new things. The resort is a digital device-free environment in shared spaces, and it's adults-only, with guests needing to be 18 or older. It's also gratuity-free, so you don't have to think about tipping.
The World Spa Awards named it Massachusetts' Best Wellness Retreat in 2025.
The programs
There's no single fixed program. Instead, you pick from a daily schedule that changes with the seasons. Categories include:
- Yoga and meditation, from power flow classes to breathwork and a vibrational sound chamber.
- Outdoor adventure, such as forest hikes, a climbing wall and fire-building sessions.
- Animal connections, including the Miraval Equine Experience and time with the resort's herd.
- Creative expression, like pottery on the wheel, flower mandalas and blacksmithing demonstrations.
- Farm, garden and food, including beekeeping, growing microgreens and cooking demos.
- Fitness and integrative wellbeing, with Pilates, cold plunge and other sessions.
- Mindful golf on an 18-hole course, privately or in a group.
Some activities are included and others carry a fee. Packages come with a nightly resort credit you can spend on spa services, fee-based activities or private sessions. Seasonal programming runs through the year, with fall foliage events and a winter schedule over the holidays.
The Miraval Life in Balance Spa takes its cues from the surrounding woods, and guests have full access to the spa and resort amenities.
Food
Packages include all meals, snacks, coffee, smoothies and non-alcoholic drinks. Breakfast and lunch are at Harvest Moon Restaurant. Dinner is a set seasonal menu at the 1894 Restaurant inside Wyndhurst Mansion, using produce from local suppliers and the resort's own organic farm and garden. Zero-proof cocktails cost extra.
Who it suits (and who it doesn't)
It's a great match for adults who like having lots of choices: friends on a getaway, couples, or solo travelers who want to mix a spa treatment with pottery and a hike in the same day. It's also an easy pick if you want to try horses, sound healing or breathwork without committing to a strict program.
It isn't for families, since everyone must be 18 or older. If you want a medical-style detox, a silent retreat or a fixed curriculum, a more structured place will suit you better.
Getting there
The main gateway is Bradley International Airport (BDL), which serves Hartford and Springfield, and the resort runs a shared shuttle from there for package guests. Pittsfield Municipal Airport is closer and handles private jets. The resort is at 55 Lee Road in Lenox, so driving in from elsewhere in New England or New York is also an option.
