Grand Miramar All Luxury Suites & Residences invites wellness travelers to elevate their minds, bodies, and spirits at its signature wellness retreat, The View Spa, an oasis of calm perched high above the Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta’s exclusive Conchas Chinas neighborhood.
Designed for guests who crave rejuvenation, luxury, and ocean views, the retreat combines personalized fitness offerings, a curated selection of holistic wellness rituals, and spa treatments with panoramic vistas.
The View Spa: A Sanctuary in the Sky
Tucked within the hills above the Pacific, The View Spa at Grand Miramar lives up to its name. Floor-to ceiling windows reveal impressive vistas from every angle, whether guests are soaking in the hydrothermal Jacuzzi, surrendering to a deep-tissue massage, or simply breathing
in the sea air.
The spa features four elegantly appointed treatment rooms, including a romantic couple’s suite and a state-of-the-art floating suite, each offering sweeping views of the bay. Signature services include Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone massages, as well as invigorating body wraps, exfoliating scrubs, and hydrating facials. Guests can also enjoy aromatherapy rituals, manicures and pedicures, and sessions in the steam room and sauna.
One of the spa’s most unique offerings is the Flotation Therapy Experience, a zero-gravity soak in a private pod filled with mineral-rich Epsom salt water. The effect is a meditative, weightless float that melts tension, recalibrates the nervous system, and leaves guests feeling
centered.
Wellness at Grand Miramar goes far beyond spa treatments. The resort embraces a holistic philosophy that weaves mindfulness, movement, and nourishment into every aspect of the guest experience.
Yoga sessions can be arranged upon request, either in the studio or from the comfort of a guest’s private ocean view balcony. Begin the morning with vinyasa flow led by the resort’s instructors for an energizing way to awaken the senses while saluting the sunrise over the bay.
In addition, guests have access to the resort’s fully equipped fitness center, where panoramic views provide natural motivation for workouts ranging from cardio and weight training to private wellness coaching. For those who prefer movement in the open air, multiple outdoor
pools, including a rooftop infinity pool, offer the perfect setting for a swim or poolside meditation.
At the heart of the Grand Miramar’s wellness philosophy is the idea of a spa journey, a personalized itinerary that encourages guests to move intentionally through a spectrum of wellness practices. Each experience is thoughtfully curated with treatments and therapies tailored to individual goals, whether they be detoxification, relaxation, or inner clarity.
To fully immerse in the spa’s energy, guests are invited to arrive early for treatments and begin with a steam session or hydrothermal circuit.
An Elevated Escape
The spa is made all the more indulgent by Grand Miramar’s elevated setting and top-tier hospitality. With only 80 suites and 20 private residences, the resort offers an intimate ambiance, framed by cascading bougainvillea in shades of magenta, coral, and white. From every
terrace and lounge chair, the bay unfolds with every shade of blue.
Culinary wellness also plays a role at the resort, with nutrient-rich dining options available at the resort’s restaurants. Guests can choose from gourmet dishes at Eugenia Restaurant, artisanal cocktails at The Gin Joint, or fresh, poolside fare at La Terraza Snack Bar.
For additional pampering, a beauty salon and boutique are located on-site, and complimentary shuttle service makes it easy for guests to explore Puerto Vallarta’s beaches and downtown. Whatever your wellness goals, Grand Miramar’s wellness center at The View Spa is a
transformative escape that brings intention to every stay.
Rest, Recharge, and Retire in Luxury
After a day of spa rituals, yoga, and ocean breezes, guests can retreat to one of Grand Miramar’s 80 luxury suites, each designed to extend the wellness experience beyond the massage table. Whether you choose a Junior Suite for a cozy hideaway or a Three-Bedroom Suite for
a spacious group retreat, every accommodation offers a private balcony with views of Banderas Bay.
For added indulgence, the Master Suites feature a private Jacuzzi for two on the balcony, perfect for unwinding under the stars with a glass of wine or a soothing herbal tea. Interiors are light-filled and airy, with marble floors, plush bedding, and spa-like bathrooms.

The south shore of Kauai is home to a number of excellent beaches that are good for a vast array of watersports, but another reason to come to the island is for the outstanding sunsets. With that said, Poipu Beach is right in the center of all the action on Kauai. In fact, the beach has been rated the best in America for three consecutive years (2002-2004). There is an onsite playground, grassy areas, picnic tables, and bathroom facilities for guests to use. Poipu Beach additionally has plenty of parking spaces for guests.
Whales and more…
Whales have been known to lurk offshore and sightings are not uncommon here. Guests should bring binoculars if they choose to come to this beach, in order to better spot these indigenous marine mammals. Tortoises and monk seals are typical onshore sights. The snorkeling at this beach is also quite good and offers those who do so will spot a good variety of marine life. Kayaking is another popular activity at this location.
Hideaway Cove
When it comes to accommodation choices there are many at Poipu Beach.  However, for those looking for intimate luxury and tranquility, Hideaway Cove the answer.  This upscale property is the perfect place to stay while visiting the Poipu Beach area.
The air conditioned vacation condos are located a short five minute walk away from all the fun at the aforementioned beach. Once visitors arrive, it is not uncommon for them to be greeted with fresh fruit and juices, as well as a personalized note and some activity suggestions.
Should the recently arrived travelers be suffering from the effects of a long layover, they will find that it is simple to grab a quick nap. The soft mattresses on all the beds are covered with Egyptian cotton sheets and fat duvet comforters are perfect for a restful sleep.
Great Amenities
The condos have comfortable furniture and special touches throughout, such as HDTVs in the living room and also in all the bedrooms. The rooms are quite spacious and there are high vaulted ceilings on upper level floors. Views from the upper floors are considered to be much more scenic than those on the lower levels.
Not only are the condos spotlessly clean, they are also exceptionally well-stocked with all sorts of useful supplies. A cooler is provided for days that guests want to bring lunch along on their travels, as are beach chairs. However, that is only the beginning. Along with the usual cutlery, cooking paraphernalia, and bath products, these condos come fully equipped with everything one could possibly need on their trip to Hawaii. Local and 800 numbers can be called without any additional charges, and there is a phone and answering machine for guests to use during their stay.
Detergent and drier sheets can be found in the laundry room, sponges and dish towels are located in the kitchen, and Q-tips and cotton balls are among the bathroom supplies. There are a variety of culinary gizmos, such as cookie sheets and garlic presses, located in the kitchen. Each condo also has a private deck and outdoor furniture, as well as a stainless steel, gas barbeque grill. For guests whose condos do not have laundry facilities, there is laundry room provided for their use. Irons and ironing boards can be found inside each of the condos.
Stylish Condos
The condos are roomy, stylish, and excellently outfitted with all manner of useful amenities.  Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. There is also an outdoor Jacuzzi and a beautiful tropical garden.
The Hideaway Cove condos are located on a quiet road that is a quick walk from the nearby Poipu Beach area. Snorkeling, swimming, and body boarding are popular beach activities. There is an extensive list of things do in the surrounding area, which can easily be found on the condo’s extensive website.
