Looking for a Hill Country getaway but still desire proximity to the city? The Lakeway Resort and Spa is the perfect fit. Tucked into a peninsula with gorgeous views of Lake Travis, this spot offers quiet luxury, brilliant scenery, fun for the whole family, but is only a few minutes drive from Austin proper. The Lakeway Resort has bragging rights as it is the only resort on Lake Travis. While several yacht clubs along the lake boast in their luxury, none can hold the title that The Lakeway Resort currently holds.

The resort offers marina access for the avid boater, water sports enthusiast or fisherman. If you want to get in a good workout and stay trim for your trips to the pool, a fully functional, fully-stocked fitness center awaits.

The resort is also kid-friendly. With affordable rates during peak season, Lakeway Resort and Spa is great for a family on a budget. There is a “Kidzone” with childcare providers available at no extra charge. The “Kidzone” includes activities such as mini-golf, basketball, air hockey, ping-pong, an obstacle course, slides and a bouncy house. There is also a toddler area for the smaller tykes.

If lake access isn’t quite your thing, no worries, several pools with stunning lake views are available for your pleasure. There’s a standard pool with a shallow and deep end and lanes for doing laps for big kids and serious swimmers. A shallow pool with cabanas and a splash garden are available for younger children. To top it off, there is a three-level swim up bar for adults only and a jacuzzi if you really want to loosen up those sore muscles.

The staff is top-notch and attentive. The resort has a full-scale restaurant on site (also with lake view seating), along with full room service if you want to have a lazy breakfast in bed. Valet parking is available upon request.
