History
Miraval Austin Resort & Spa opened in 2019 on 220 protected acres in the Texas Hill Country above Lake Travis, bringing the Miraval wellness philosophy to a state where it had never had a formal presence. The Austin area had grown rapidly in the preceding decade into one of America's most significant urban markets — creative, technology-driven, and increasingly affluent — and the demand for serious wellness hospitality in central Texas had grown proportionally. Miraval Austin was Hyatt's answer to that demand, positioned as a complete destination wellness retreat in the mode of the original Arizona property rather than an upscale spa hotel.
The Hill Country setting above Lake Travis provided the landscape equivalent of Miraval Arizona's Catalina foothills: natural, dramatic in its own quieter way, and meaningfully removed from the urban intensity of downtown Austin twenty-eight miles to the east. The rolling terrain of post oak savannah and cedar-covered limestone escarpments, with lake views and working-farm components on the property, created an environment where the resort's programming — meditation, equine experiences, cooking classes, fitness, and body treatments — could unfold in genuine connection with the land rather than against a manicured resort backdrop.
The all-inclusive model replicates Arizona's approach: meals, non-alcoholic beverages, wellness activities, spa access, and gratuities are all incorporated into the stay rate, eliminating the transactional friction that in conventional hotels tends to erode the sense of genuine relaxation. The elegant restaurant serves locally inspired dishes using produce from the property's farm, and the two seasonal infinity pools use the lake views as their backdrop. Horseback riding and an airport shuttle complete the sense of a genuinely self-contained world — a Miraval in the Texas tradition, where the landscape is different and the spirit is exactly the same.
The setting
Miraval Austin Resort & Spa occupies 220 protected acres on Farm to Market Road 2769 in the Texas Hill Country, approximately 20 miles northwest of downtown Austin, perched atop rolling hills overlooking Lake Travis. The property adjoins the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, a 100,000-acre federal refuge sheltering endangered songbirds and karst springs, and 170 of the estate's acres are permanently protected from development. Formerly Travaasa Austin, the resort was relaunched as a Miraval destination in 2019, with a 10-acre organic farm, equine center, and Life in Balance Spa capitalizing on the seclusion and natural drama that this Hill Country setting uniquely provides.
