Canyon Ranch will open its Austin destination resort on October 15, 2026, marking the wellness brand's expansion into Texas. Reservations open today for the property, which spans 600+ acres of ranchland overlooking Lake Travis near Spicewood. Designed by Texas architecture firm Lake Flato, the resort includes 141 guest rooms and is surrounded by The Ranch Home Collection, a 134-home residential community currently under construction. Homeowners will have exclusive access to resort amenities and an on-site concierge wellness program. ## Key Amenities The 40,000-square-foot spa—Texas's largest—features 37 treatment rooms and serves as the property's centerpiece. A dedicated Women's Wellness Collective offers specialized programming for women at different life stages. Fitness and recovery facilities include a 27,000-square-foot barn housing gym, studios, and an outdoor turf field. A 12,000-square-foot medical center will employ physicians and clinicians. Estella, the anchor restaurant helmed by Michelin Two-Star chef Val M. Cantú, anchors the food program. The property will operate four food and beverage outlets total. Outdoor offerings span 1.5 miles of Lake Travis waterfront with beach and watersports access, 5 miles of ranch trails, tennis, pickleball, padel courts, two pools, a wildflower garden, and an equestrian program. ## Strategic Context "Canyon Ranch Austin represents our bold vision for the future and a look at what's now and what's next in the intersection of travel, hospitality, well-being, care, and culture," said Mark Rivers, CEO of Canyon Ranch. "People today are seeking something fundamentally different from their travels and getaways -- life-changing experiences, connection, health, wisdom, and joy." The brand's existing resorts have gained recognition: Canyon Ranch Tucson received Michelin's highest Three Keys award in 2025 and was named the #1 Wellness Resort in the Americas. Canyon Ranch Lenox earned Two Keys. The company also operates a day spa in Las Vegas and opened a wellness club and spa in Fort Worth in 2023. Programming at the Austin property will focus on brain health, sleep, preventive medicine, metabolic health, mental and spiritual wellness, and human performance.
