Visitors now enjoy a rejuvenated California-casual vibe highlighted by minimalist sophistication and unique artwork. Spanning more than 200 acres, this AAA Five-Diamond resort boasts exceptional amenities—such as award-winning golf on San Diego’s sole Arnold Palmer-designed course and the inaugural standalone Miraval Life in Balance Spa. With the introduction of its new Social Club Membership, locals in San Diego can now relish exclusive access to a five-star resort experience—no need for room bookings.
