Best Value
Pritikin provides the best overall value. The core package includes deluxe resort accommodations, meals, and structured fitness. Pritikin includes far more wellness education than other retreats, and is the only retreat where working with a physician is standard.
Guest Reviews
Pritikin ranks #1 among all wellness retreats on TripAdvisor in reviews left by real guests. What those guests have said about their stay is the best indication of what you can expect during yours. Pritikin guests are overwhelming happy with their experience.
Proven Program
Pritikin is one of only two wellness retreats offering a clinically proven program, and the only program documented in peer-reviewed medical journals. As Oprah.com stated - "Pritikin is the gold standard."
No Resort Fees
Pritikin does not charge resort fees. We consider resort fees a dubious practice that allows retreats to artificially lower their advertised rates, only to surprise guests with an unexpected and substantial increase upon checkout.
No Taxes & Gratuity
Pritikin does not charge taxes or gratuity service fees. These charges often add thousands of dollars to your final bill at other retreats. Pritikin staff do not expect tips. We are focused on your success.

Miraval
TUCSON, AZ
Miraval is surrounded by natural beauty. Guests can explore new interests like beekeeping, equine activities and archery. The experience provides an immediate sense of well-being, but unlike Pritikin its program isn’t designed to helping guests adopt a new way of life. A Pritikin guest said it best – “Miraval is like an amazing massage. It feels great in the moment, but the benefits soon fade. Pritikin is a life-changing event.”
