This list represents my top picks for the best overnight spas in Texas. It includes both hotel and resort spas, where you can sample as little or as much of the spa experience as you want, and destination spas, which offer a complete immersion experience with an emphasis on transformation and self-improvement. Most resort spas welcome clients on a day spa basis.
Best Spas in Austin, Texas
Lake Austin Spa Resort , Austin. It's on my list of best destination spas in the country. With just 40 rooms it's easy to meet people, but the spa is lavish and open to locals as a day spa. Type: destination spa
Just east of Austin, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines is a major ranch-style resort spas near Bastrop State Park, east of Austin, with 491 guests rooms. Spa Django has 18 treatment rooms, men and women's meditation rooms, Nia classes and yoga. It's a family-friendly choice, with Camp Hyatt and the Wild Hare Youth Spa, a colorful spa for the younger set.
The Crossings, Austin. Affordable, gorgeous wellness center on 210 acres of Balcones Cayonlands Preserve outside Austin. A local “Dell-ionaire” built a $20 million retreat and wellness spa in Texas Hill Country that offers personal growth programs on topics like “zen investing” and “getting the love you want.” Type of spa: wellness center.
Watermark Spa, Watermark Hotel & Spa, San Antonio. Set on San Antonio's historic River Walk, The Watermark Hotel & Spa is urbane, sophisticated, and so romantic that Jennifer Lopez kissed on a bridge right outside in one of her movies. Type: urban hotel spa.

Trellis, The Spa at The Houstonian, Houston. Type: urban hotel spa.
