Manhattan Spa Community of Luxury Condominiums
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
This particular property development has taken our collective breath away – we’re not entirely sure whether we are overwhelmed by the opulence of this Manhattan spa community of luxury condominiums or bemused and confused by the wealth of available amenities and facilities that residents of the Miraval Living development will have unadulterated access to.
So, how do you fancy living in a sumptuously designed home in a 41 storey building on the Upper East Side? Each condominium affords residents stunning views across the city skyline and over the river from the oversized windows which make each apartment dramatically and vibrantly light and airy – or residents can step out onto their terraces and balconies and take in the atmosphere of Manhattan as well as the breathtaking scenery.
Sounds good so far…but the views are just a tiny feature of this amenity rich spa community of luxury condominiums.
The lifestyle home resort is called Miraval Living, and each resident who buys an apartment within the community will be assigned their very own Miraval Inspired Living Consultant when they take up residence. Their personal consultant will work with them to help them tune their inner essential balance with a combination of lifestyle adjustments taking in nutrition, relaxation, fitness and self discovery through creative arts and fun in a bid to inspire the life you were meant to live – apparently…although a quick glance at a Miraval Moments Lifestyle Guide for a typical resident has them getting up at 5.30am on Monday to meditate which would rather rule us out.
But whatever – this is certainly a unique concept in terms of a brand new property development honed and enhanced to attract a certain type of affluent and lifestyle aware purchaser.
Condominiums for sale range from one bed one bath, simple but attractive spaces, to opulent three bed, two and a half bath apartments, and all residences have access to the wealth of onsite features – for example you can visit the private, residents’ only spa or order in treatments such as a desert rain scrub or a trager psychophysical integration treatment. You can enjoy one of the largest private gardens in Manhattan where residents are invited to take on Miraval Living’s ‘Quantum Leap’ and challenge assumptions and learn to live in the moment. There is an onsite creative arts studio, a garden café, a fitness centre that incorporates everything from cardio and strength machines to a climbing wall, yoga garden and Pilates studio, there’s a swimming pool featuring a ‘dive in’ movie theatre, two soak tubs and of course the aforementioned spa featuring signature Miraval Living treatments.
If you’re inspired by the thought of living in such a well thought out, innovative community or if you’re just intrigued enough to take a closer look and try and figure out what a trager psychophysical integration might do for you, the Miraval Living, Manhattan spa community’s website is http://www.miravalliving.com/
