Fodor's Expert Review Lake Austin Spa Resort

One of Austin's most exclusive escapes, this Hill Country resort and spa is located 30 minutes from town, on a prime stretch of Lake Austin shoreline. The expansive property’s stretch of cottage-style guest rooms overlook verdant lawns and calm lake waters. A range of daily fitness and wellness programs, including yoga on the docks, culinary classes, and hydro-bike rides on the lake, are included in package rates. Signature services at the award-winning spa are extra, but well worth the splurge. The on-site Aster Café features healthy, yet flavorful, gourmet fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Rooms epitomize rustic elegance, with every imaginable comfort and amenity.
