Miraval Expands to Costa Rica
The award-winning destination spa Miraval Resort Tucson, announced plans to launch two distinctive new facilities and initiatives, one in New York City and the other in Punta Cacique, Costa Rica.

"After years of careful planning, we are announcing plans to bring the Miraval experience to new places and new people," said Steve Case, whose Revolution Living is the majority owner of Miraval. "For 10 years, Miraval has set a standard for how a vacation can change your life; now, Miraval is ready to change how people live."

In addition to Miraval Living, in New York, Miraval is growing its destination resorts collection with the addition of a new Miraval Resort Costa Rica, which will be located on the northwest coast of country.

Miraval says it is blending its full range of experiences into Costa Rica's unique local culture and lush environment to deliver a better living and vacation experience.

Currently planned for 100 guest rooms and 40 villas, the Miraval Resort, Costa Rica is intended to be the center of a new style of international resorts that will integrate indigenous art, culture, community, retail and more. Opening is scheduled for late 2008.

"Costa Rica is the perfect location for the next Miraval Resort," said Vanderslice. "It is already a popular destination with soft-adventure travelers, and is exploding with mainstream luxury travelers seeking a new experiential vacation. Miraval has a heritage of delivering exactly what those traveling to Costa Rica are seeking."
