If you’ve ever dreamed of blending a luxury wellness retreat with true family connection, Family Connection Week at Miraval Berkshires might be just what you’re looking for. Held only twice a year, this special offering invites kids and parents to experience mindfulness, movement, creativity, and connection—together.

This was such a special opportunity to slow down, be present, and create meaningful memories with my teen daughter. She loved every moment of our time in the Berkshires and actually said, “this is so much better than Disney!”. We tried new things (I’m looking at you aerial yoga), ate delicious food (yes! There’s a kid’s menu), I got some solo time in the spa, and she  learned how to journal.  It isn’t so often that I can still do things that she thinks are cool, so I’ll take this as a win! 

Here’s everything you need to know before booking your stay.

What Is Family Connection Week at Miraval Berkshires?

Family Connection Week is a rare opportunity where children are welcomed on the otherwise adults-only Miraval Berkshires property. For one week only (typically Thanksgiving week and February break), the resort opens its doors to families looking to reconnect, unplug, and experience wellness together.

This specially designed week includes access to kid-friendly activities, family mindfulness sessions, and creative workshops—all with the thoughtful, healing spirit Miraval is known for.

It’s a completely different kind of vacation. No chaos, no tech overload. Just mindful movement, healthy food, and room to just take it all in and breathe. .

The resort is tech-free in most spaces, encouraging families to really be together. No tablets at dinner. No phones during activities. Just you, your kids, and the space to notice the little things again.

Family-Friendly Activities at Miraval: Mindfulness, Movement & More

I was truly impressed by the incredible variety of programs Miraval offered during Family Connections Week. We stayed for three days, and it felt like we only scratched the surface of what this stunning resort has in store. From the start, their concierge team was exceptional—promptly responding to every email and call, and ensuring every detail was perfectly arranged before we even arrived.

  • Aerial Yoga

  • Journaling

  • Creative expression classes

  • Himalayan sound bowl sessions

  • Culinary workshops just for kids

Plus, the regular Miraval activity calendar remains open, so there’s always something for everyone.

Kid-Approved Wellness: What Children Can Expect at Miraval

The experience is best for kids ages 5 and up, with special programs available for teens 13+. Children under 13 must stay with a guardian for all activities. But don’t worry—everything is designed with age-appropriate mindfulness in mind.

Although this resort is typically reserved for 18+, we felt right at home. Nothing seemed overly fussy or breakable and all the children that were on site moved around the resort with ease. 

While it’s not your typical resort with splash pads and cartoon mascots, it is a place where your child might discover a love for yoga or creative expression.

Is Family Connection Week Right for You?

If you’re craving a reset for your family—a real one, not just another busy vacation—Family Connection Week at Miraval Berkshires is a powerful experience. It’s not about doing more; it’s about being together, more intentionally.

This is one week a year where your family’s wellness truly comes first.
