The Very Best Resorts in Texas, USA
From the Hill Country to the Gulf Shore beaches, Texas is the perfect place to live that Instagram-worthy resort life.
Oftentimes, people jump on a plane and head to a posh resort for R&R, beaches, spa treatments, divine cuisine and vacation fun. But why head to some far-flung locale for a vacation when you can have all of the above without leaving Texas? We’ve compiled some of the best resorts in the state for fun and relaxation during that valuable vacation time.
1. Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Los Colinas
Resort
Set on 400 acres (162ha) just 15 minutes from Dallas and Fort Worth – and about 20 minutes from the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers stadiums for sports fans – the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Los Colinas is great for golfers, families and fitness enthusiasts looking for a quiet escape away from the hustle of the city. The resort boasts three pools, an award-winning golf program with two 18-hole courses filled with native plants and wildlife, and an outstanding sports and recreation club with tennis facilities, personal trainers, a variety of sports courts and group fitness classes like anti-gravity aerial yoga with the only anti-gravity-certified instructor in the Southwest.

4. Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa
Resort
For a taste of rugged West Texas, head to Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa, with 27,000 acres (11,000ha) of land along the Rio Grande River. All 101 rooms have Old West decor, and some condos and villas come with fireplaces for chilly desert nights. Golfing is a major draw, as the 18-hole course is set against a beautiful backdrop of the Chisos Mountains and rugged landscape. Guests can unwind at one of the pools or with a massage at Agave Spa, and thrill-seekers can enjoy numerous outdoor activities like ziplining, horseback riding, mountain biking, clay shooting, Jeep rides through the desert, birding and more.
