Lake Austin Spa Resort

Just beyond the city limits—about a half-hour-long drive from the city centre—Lake Austin Spa Resort is a luxurious property modelled along the lines of a wellness centre. Located amidst thick woods along the banks of Lake Austin, are 40 ranch-style cottages built along the hill-side, with sweeping views of the lake. Within the log-cabin façade, the interiors are elegant in their French-inspired décor accentuated by classic furnishings and modern amenities. However, it’s the facilities and activities that make your visit unforgettable. There are three pools on the premises—a heated lap pool, an outdoor sunning pool and an indoor pool—fitness and yoga rooms, and a massive spa with a menu that offers more than 100 treatments. Guests have the option to choose between a range of activities from kayaking and kickboxing, to yoga, Tai Chi, riding hydro-bikes on the lake, and even weekly cooking classes hosted by executive chef Stephane Beaucamp. A visit here will leave you feeling rejuvenated like never before.
