Case Study: Do wellness retreats really work?
As wellbeing becomes a strategic priority, measurable impact creates competitive advantage. Humin partnered with Miraval Resorts & Spas to quantify immersive outcomes, transforming guest impact into data-driven evidence to drive performance, client confidence, and sustainable growth.
Miraval
Scientific data demonstrated lasting stress reduction gains, helping Miraval attract corporate clients seeking evidence-based employee wellbeing solutions.
Validated impact positions Miraval as a strategic wellbeing partner, justifying premium pricing and outcome-driven corporate packages.
Research insights revealed what truly drives sustained change, enabling Miraval to refine experiences while confidently demonstrating real guest outcomes.
“We’re inspired by the collaboration between our Miraval colleagues and Humin’s researchers, a global leader in wellbeing science, whose work validates what we have seen for decades: that immersive, mindfulness-based experiences yield quantifiable, enduring benefits.”
"This study confirms what guests have expressed for years with real data: that their time at Miraval truly stays with them and has a lasting impact. Seeing evidence that guests continue to feel less stressed and more empowered weeks after their stay validates the intention behind every experience we design. I’m proud that our wellbeing experiences help guests leave with a deeper sense of clarity, purpose, and self‑connection that lasts long after they return home."
"Wellbeing has long been experienced intuitively at Miraval. By partnering with Humin, we can explore that impact through scientific measurement, helping redefine value and bring greater clarity to an industry often defined by a sea of sameness."
"This study reinforces what our guests have shared with us for more than 30 years, that time spent at Miraval can have a meaningful and lasting impact on their overall sense of wellbeing. It represents an important step forward for our industry, demonstrating how thoughtfully designed hospitality experiences can support connection, balance, and personal growth in today’s world."
Humin Measured the Wellbeing ROI of Wellness Retreats
Do wellness retreats work?
Burnout is costing billions, yet most wellness programs fail to produce lasting change. Do wellness retreats really offer their guests transformational wellbeing benefits beyond their stay?
Science meets hospitality
A rigorous research process captured the emotional, psychological, and social dimensions of the Miraval experience, revealing where and how transformation happens.
Lasting wellbeing benefits
The research uncovered the specific human skills and environmental conditions that drive the deepest change, and why Miraval guests continue to grow long after their stay.
From retreat to real life
Miraval didn’t just make guests feel better onsite. It equipped them with skills and insights they continued applying weeks later in their personal and professional lives.
Transformation that scales
This study shows that immersive wellbeing can create measurable, durable improvements, offering a blueprint for corporations, communities, and the broader hospitality sector.
“Our findings with Miraval guests show that wellbeing is not abstract, and that it can be rigorously measured, intentionally cultivated, and scaled. The durability of these outcomes demonstrates that environments designed through applied science can meaningfully elevate human flourishing and redefine what excellence in hospitality looks like.”
“Our work with Miraval demonstrates that when organizations invest in measuring the wellbeing impact of their offerings, they not only improve customer experiences, they strengthen market differentiation and performance. Our Wellbeing Science Services help unlock reduced stress, greater self-efficacy, and lasting skills that benefit customers, teams, and organizations.”
“This study shows how scientific measurement can reveal what truly drives wellbeing and how those insights can be applied far beyond a single industry. Our Wellbeing Science Services collaboration with Miraval is a powerful example of how Humin helps organizations quantify and amplify the real-world impact of their products and services.”
