History
Lake Austin Spa Resort sits on the shores of Lake Austin in the Texas Hill Country. It began in 1941 as a modest collection of ten fishing cabins and a dance hall, and over the following decades passed through a series of colourful incarnations - a nudist camp in the mid-1970s, a cowboy and rodeo camp in the late 1970s, and later a weight-loss retreat known as the Bermuda Inn.
The property shifted toward wellness and fitness in 1979, and its current higher-end destination-spa form was established in 1997, with a major renovation in 2004. Today it offers around 40 guest cottages focused on wellness and lakeside relaxation.
