There is nothing like returning from a vacation feeling like you’re on top of the world. And yet, so many of us come home feeling like we need a vacation from our vacation! When you just need some “me” time to de-stress and connect within yourself, a spa vacation is the perfect solution.
I am recently back from Virtuoso Travel Week, affectionately known as the “Fashion Week” of travel. I am excited to tell you that I met with many travel partners to get to know them better and celebrate their achievements – and what I am really excited to share is that Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa in Tucson is Virtuoso’s Best of the Best Wellness Program for 2019. In addition to winning Virtuoso’s award, Miraval ranked number 4 on Travel & Leisure’s list of best domestic destination spas.
But wait…there’s more…while winning awards with Virtuoso is exceptional, another destination spa in Arizona is a winner on Travel & Leisure’s top destination spas for 2019. Mii Amo in Sedona won the number 1 spot on their destination spa for 2019 for the USA.
There are wonderful destination spas around the world, but when you just need a quick break, don’t forget that you have world class resorts right here in your own backyard.
The health, wellness and fitness resorts in Arizona are too numerous to mention in this article, so I will give a mention to the top Virtuoso 2019 nominees for best wellness program as well as Travel & Leisure’s top destination spas both in the US and internationally.
