The Best Resorts in the World: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Located peripherally to the city at the mouth of Texas Hill Country, this resort blends urban high life with total retreat. Bright guest rooms are decorated with warm touches of Southern decor and open up to the evergreen hills surrounding the property. Travelers looking for leisure and lounging will find their call for relaxation answered at the Mokara Spa—a 13,000-foot temple to wellness inspired by the area’s creeks and springs—and the outdoor pools which are fully immersed in stunning views of the Texas Hills. Those looking to stretch their legs have ample opportunity at one of the resort’s four golf courses to test their hand at the green. Cityside, guests can head to the thumping heart of Austin nightlife where the Live Music Capital of the World always has a new favorite act and dance floor to cut up waiting just around the corner." - CNT Editors
