Luxury automotive brand Lexus has teamed up with two coveted resorts on a series of wellness experiences for travelers looking to incorporate more balance and mindfulness into their lives. The just-launched “Wellness Destinations” offers Lexus-curated wellness packages at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa in California and all three Miraval Resorts and Spas paired with complimentary transportation for each guest. Think specialty spa treatments, intention setting ceremonies, private fitness sessions and chauffeured airport transfers.
“After the last couple of years, we have all experienced, it’s no surprise to see the focus on self-care paired with the desire to get away resulting in demand for wellness travel,” says Vinay Shahani, Lexus vice president of marketing. “As a luxury lifestyle brand, Lexus meets this need by offering curated, integrative experiences that focus on wellbeing at award-winning destinations.”
Cal-a-Vie Health Spa
Located 45-miles north of San Diego, Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is an idyllic wellness retreat that has hosted everyone from Oprah to Tom Cruise. With 32 private villas set over 200 gorgeous acres and a 5:1 staff to guest ratio, it’s not hard to see why it’s such a firm favorite among the A-list.
“We want to provide a luxury experience from the moment our guests arrive to the day they depart. We care about creating life-changing wellness experiences for our guests, and that’s exactly what we do here at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa,” says Terri Havens, owner of Cal-a-Vie Health Spa.
The Lexus in Luxury package includes four nights in a Mediterranean-style French Provencal villa, plus all gourmet spa meals and nutrition breaks. There’s access to spa amenities, including two swimming pools, a sauna, a steam bath, and an outdoor jacuzzi while a private fitness session plus choice a cryotherapy session, metabolic test, or a BodPod session (to determine body fat and lean muscle mass) also feature.
Rounding out more traditional spa services are a rejuvenating facial, two 50-minute Cal-a-Vie massages, and one specialty treatment, such as hydrating body wrap. Finally, a thoughtful end of stay group meditation ceremony gives guests a moment to reflect on intentions set during their time at Cal-a-Vie. Available through March 2023, complimentary transportation in a luxury Lexus to and from the San Diego International Airport is also included. Lexus owners receive a VIP welcome gift and 10 percent off the $7,300 cost per person.
“Lexus Drive Your Way to Wellness”
Highly coveted destination resorts among wellness travelers in the know, all three Miraval locations in Arizona, Austin, and the Berkshires offer guests a custom one-day experience that ranges from six to eight hours and includes a complimentary Lexus vehicle to use throughout.
Head of Miraval operations at Hyatt, Susan Santiago, was excited to team up with Lexus to offer guests exclusive drive experiences at their destination resorts and spas. “These new and unique offerings allow us to immerse our guests in scenic, natural settings off-property that encourage external exploration and space for internal reflection. We look forward to continuing our mission of providing authentic experiences focused on our guests’ physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing.”
Highlights include an intention-setting ceremony with a Miraval Guide and scenic drives to nearby destinations for private guide-led hikes, biking, and swimming expeditions. A chef-prepared picnic lunch and a locally oriented activity (think kayaking, paddle boarding, birdwatching) can also be scheduled directly through the selected property. Priced at $495 per person experiences are available through March 2023. Visit miravalresorts.com for more information.
