Luxe Resort Is Offering a Menopause Vacation

(Because Hot Flashes Hit Different When There’s Room Service)

Girls’ trips have officially grown up.

Gone are the weekends fuelled by tequila shots, loud bars, and waking up wondering why your knee hurts.

The new girls’ getaway is quieter, calmer, and comes with hormone education, early bedtimes, and someone explaining why your sleep has ghosted you.

Enter Miraval Arizona, a luxury resort that’s leaned all the way into menopause wellness, offering women a chance to navigate this life phase somewhere far away from their responsibilities… and preferably near a spa.

Welcome to the Desert, Where Menopause Gets a Makeover

Set at the base of Arizona’s Santa Catalina Mountains, Miraval offers programming specifically designed for women moving through perimenopause and menopause.

Instead of pounding out HIIT classes that leave you questioning your life choices, guests can:

• Take gentler workout classes, including yoga focused on pelvic floor health
• Book one-on-one sessions with nutritionists to build meal plans that actually work with your hormones, not against them
• Move their bodies in ways that don’t involve apologizing to their joints the next day

Basically, it’s fitness without the punishment.

From Zen to Zumba (Pick Your Mood)

The resort’s activities run the full emotional spectrum, depending on whether you woke up feeling peaceful or spicy.

On the calm end:

• Guided meditation
• Breathwork
• Tea rituals
• Manifestation sessions (because why not?)

On the “let’s move but not too hard” end:

• Pickleball
• Hiking
• Barre
• Zumba

And for fun that doesn’t require staying out past 9 p.m.:

• Ziplining
• Archery
• Taco making (arguably the most important wellness offering)
• A crystal oil-infusion workshop, for when you want to heal and sparkle

The Class Every Woman Didn’t Know She Needed

One of the most popular sessions is called “Making Sense of Menopause.”
And honestly, the title alone deserves applause.

In this 90-minute class, women are walked through what’s actually happening during menopause, including the 32 most common symptoms that can show up uninvited.

Thirty-two.
Which explains… everything.

There’s also a “Better Sleep in Menopause” class, because if you’re awake at 3:17 a.m. for no reason, you are very much the target audience.

Why Sleep Has Left the Chat

Research shows that about half of women in perimenopause struggle with insomnia, and that number jumps to over 60% after menopause.

Common issues include:

• Trouble falling asleep
• Waking up too early
• Waking up drenched in night sweats
• Lying awake, mentally reorganizing your entire life

Miraval’s sleep programming helps women understand what’s happening and how to cope without just being told to “relax.”

Menopause, But Make It Luxury

Miraval isn’t alone in this trend. More luxury resorts are finally realizing that women in midlife don’t want louder music or stronger cocktails. They want:

• Education
• Support
• Comfort
• And maybe a robe that costs more than their first apartment

Menopause may not be optional, but suffering through it in silence definitely is. And if navigating hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings happens poolside with guacamole? Honestly… that feels like progress.

Because if we’re doing menopause anyway, we might as well do it somewhere nice. 💅🌴
