Miraval, Life in Balance Catalina, AZ
Famous for their "conscious cuisine," Miraval's goal is to bring balance to your dining experience.

The culinary team seeks the finest selection of organically grown fruits and vegetables and naturally raised meats.

Celebrated executive chef Michel Stroot has been at the Golden Door for over 20 years. Many of the high-flavor, low-fat menus are prepared with selections from the spa's own organic vegetable garden. In addition to Stroot's renowned dishes, an on-site nutritionist is available to the guests for personal consultation.
Special requests? Most dietary needs are happily accommodated
At Canyon Ranch, great taste matters as much as smart nutrition. Their delicious menus will surprise you, from lobster to pizza, hot fudge sundaes to cheesecake. Each day at "Lunch & Learn," the culinary staff will show you how to cook healthy, easy-to-prepare meals at home.
