Spicewood, Texas, is no longer Austin’s quiet little lakeside neighbor—it’s the next big thing in luxury Hill Country living. Two headline developments are leading the charge: Canyon Ranch in Spicewood and The Travis Club.

Both promise resort-style amenities, lake access, and first-class design, but each caters to a totally different type of homeowner. Let’s break down what’s coming, how they compare, and what makes each one special from a real estate perspective.

Canyon Ranch (Spicewood): Wellness Meets Hill Country Luxury

Canyon Ranch, the world-renowned wellness brand, has chosen 600 acres in Spicewood on Lake Travis for its next flagship resort, set to open in 2026. This isn’t just a spa—it’s a lifestyle ecosystem built around mind, body, and longevity.

Expect features like:

• The largest spa in Texas
• Concierge medical and performance programs
• Daily fitness, mindfulness, and nutrition classes
• Farm-to-table dining and guided outdoor adventures

A separate 134-lot residential neighborhood, known as Moonlight Bend, will surround the resort—giving a lucky few the chance to live right next door to one of the most exclusive wellness retreats in the country.

For those who prioritize balance, serenity, and access to a curated health experience, Canyon Ranch offers something truly one-of-a-kind in the Lake Travis market.

The Travis Club: Where Lake and Golf Collide

Just down the road, The Travis Club brings an entirely different flavor of luxury to Spicewood. Set on 1,500 acres with over 10,000 feet of Lake Travis shoreline, this private community revolves around connection, recreation, and the good life.

Signature amenities include:

• An 18-hole Beau Welling golf course (the same architect who partners with Tiger Woods)
• A private marina with boat slips, club boats, and water-sports access
• 30+ miles of trails for hiking and biking
• A lakefront clubhouse, pool, racquet center, and dining

With introductory golf play expected in late 2025, Travis Club is designed for homeowners who want a full-service lifestyle—golf in the morning, lake time in the afternoon, and community events all year long.
