Relax and Play on Beautiful Lake Travis

It’s been said that any day on the lake is a good day, and that’s especially true if you’re talking about the uniquely beautiful Lake Travis, located in the laid-back Texas Hill Country just northwest of Austin.

With its stunning, crystal-clear blue water—thanks to a limestone lake bottom—and massive size, this “Crown Jewel” of the central Texas Highland lakes is perfect for boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and even scuba diving. But Lake Travis is more than just a body of water. 

Because of its 270 miles of shoreline and pockets of wooded space located within close proximity to downtown Austin, it’s also home to upscale resort communities, hiking trails, restaurants, and live music venues, making it one of the state’s most popular vacation destinations.

Your home-away-from-home for this four-day getaway is the contemporary Lakeway Resort and Spa, nestled along the southern end of Lake Travis. Here, you’ll enjoy deluxe accommodations with lake views and access to all of the resort’s amenities. Spend leisurely hours at any of their three pools—including an adults-only oasis with hot tub and swim-up bar; have fun on the lake; or indulge in relaxing spa treatments at the onsite spa. When you need to refuel, grab a meal at the resort’s Southwest-inspired TR Restaurant & Bar + Lounge or head to the cozy Back Porch Lobby Bar for evening cocktails and amazing panoramic views.

Both inside and outside the resort, you’ll find plenty of ways to explore and have fun at Lake Travis. From paddle boarding, wakeboarding, kayaking, and jet skiing on the lake, to hiking and picnicking at nearby parks, ziplining above the water, or fishing for largemouth bass at any of the public access fishing spots around the lake, there’s something here for everyone.

If golf is your game, be sure to check out the premiere courses located nearby. We recommend playing the PGA Tour-designed Falconhead Golf Club, a public course that features rolling hills and meandering streams. Or enjoy the fairways at the exclusive Hills of Lakeway Country Club, home of four world-class courses, with 36 holes designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus. As a bonus, golf instruction and preferred tee-times are offered to all Lakeway Resort and Spa guests.

To make your trip even more special, we’ve arranged a private champagne sunset sail for you with Texas Sailing. This private, two-hour cruise aboard a luxury sailing yacht is an incredible way to unwind, explore the lake, and wrap up an amazing day. This part of the state is known for its stunning pink and orange sunsets that are especially beautiful reflected off the water of Lake Travis, so we know it will be an unforgettable addition to your vacation.

With year-round opportunities for outdoor fun, gorgeous lake views, and space for quiet relaxation, Lake Travis is the perfect spot for a romantic weekend for two or an adventure-filled getaway with family or friends.
