Miramonte Resort & Spa - The Ultimate Choice For Small Groups In The California Desert

(Indian Wells, CA) Miramonte Resort & Spa, 45-000 Indian Wells Lane, a Preferred Hotel & Resort is the perfect setting for more intimate group events and meetings. A number of elegant meeting and event spaces, team building activities, sophisticated and contemporary meeting amenities and more make Miramonte Resort & Spa the ultimate choice for small groups.

Miramonte Resort & Spa, a 215-room Tuscan-inspired village set amongst eleven acres of lush gardens and stunning views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, provides meeting and event planners with a charming Mediterranean atmosphere in an extraordinary setting. For those small groups seeking exclusivity, Miramonte is a perfect private retreat for groups of 100 or less. At present, the resort can accommodate groups of up to 500 guests with 12,000 square feet of flexible space.

For those looking for an intimate and exclusive meeting experience need to look no further than Villa d'Este. The 7,800-square-foot "private mansion" is ideal for high-level executive retreats or small groups. This private enclave contains four one-bedroom suites, as well as a 3,000-square-foot Presidential Suite with a separate living room and dining/conference area. These suites offer all the comforts of the Miramonte guest rooms and deep sunken Jacuzzi tubs with separate showers provide the ultimate pampering. Each suite is also outfitted with three televisions, four telephones, Bvlgari bath amenities, and Bose Wave radios.

Meetings at Miramonte Resort & Spa can be held in a variety of unique venues throughout the property. The Piazza is an ideal setting for an intimate outdoor function. This second-floor terrace provides fabulous views of the pool, gardens and mountains, and a large fireplace provides warmth and ambience on cool desert evenings. Much like an outdoor living room, this space can be transposed into a picturesque cooking school for a teambuilding event or used for a group yoga or tai chi class. Outdoor weddings and banquets are especially popular in the Olive Grove and on the Miramonte lawn, where inspiring views of the Santa Rosa Mountains soar in the background.

Yoga and tai chi on the Piazza can be arranged with personal fitness guru Scott Cole. Miramonte is thrilled to be working with Cole who has lent his fitness expertise to publications such as The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, GQ, Men's Health, among others. Also, with the Spring 2004 opening of The WELL, Miramonte's new 13,000 square-foot spa, groups can now arrange for relaxing mini-spa treatments. Guests may rotate through three spa stations receiving a neck, back and shoulder massage, an exfoliating hand massage and a paraffin hand treatment. This pampering activity can be set up throughout the property and provides an exciting element to a traditional cocktail reception.

Personalized service is an integral part of a Miramonte meeting or event. To ensure the success of all meetings and events, planners are partnered with their own Event Butler, who can be summoned at anytime by the client. Other notable amenities include wireless internet service, an extensive business center to accommodate administrative needs and outdoor terraces situated adjacent to the meeting rooms, providing the perfect setting for a quick break or for special food and beverage events.

Guests can now take advantage of having their own 7,800 square-foot "private mansion," which includes the use of 4 Villa Suites and the Presidential Suite for their next executive retreat. The following two meeting packages are available and run throughout the year.
