Holiday Events and Getaways
Where to Go to Celebrate the Season
By CJ Johnson
Because of its warm weather, abundant spas, gorgeous desert landscape and friendly locals, Tucson is an ideal winter destination for women who want a bit of pampering and adventure.
Resorts and Spas 
For the ultimate spa experience, travelers shouldn't miss Miraval, "A Destination for Body, Mind and Spirit." With a focus on helping guests establish a balance between mind, body and spirit, this destination has a unique take on resort life. Offering more traditional classes, such as yoga and meditation, it also encourages guests to gallop to the heights of spiritual awareness through the equine experience.
Although the interactions with the horses can't be equated with any scene from the movie The Horse Whisperer, the time spent in an arena one-on-one with a horse takes on a spiritual quality as visitor and animal learn to work in synch. The instructors of this course remind guests that they are not there to learn about horses, but to better understand themselves and how they handle new and stressful situations.
Ya Ya
Loews has put together a fabulous package deal for women travelers. The 
Ya Ya encompasses every womanly delight. The hotel provides a suite that can hold up to eight people. It provides hotel pajamas, unlimited movies in the room, eight disposable cameras and one spa treatment per guest – complete with a bloody mary or mimosa. The group also chooses one of the following amenities:
- Sex & The City provides use of the ascade Lounge with two cosmopolitans per guest and three large plates of munchies for the group.
