First Look At The New Canyon Ranch Austin

I got a little sweaty and dusty yesterday, but it was entirely worth it. I was among the first travel advisors to get an exclusive hard-hat tour of Canyon Ranch Austin—a stunning 600-acre wellness sanctuary opening this October. As a member of the Virtuoso consortia, I have early access to secure reservations right now before the general public. Here are a few highlights that stood out to me from the tour:

Their Wellness Footprint Is Massive: Sprawl across a 37,000-square-foot spa, a 15,000-square-foot fitness barn, a 25-yard shaded lap pool, and a private lake for paddleboarding, rowing, and fishing.
Elevated Dining (With Drinks!): Canyon Ranch properties are typically dry; this property will break tradition and serve alcohol, offering curated wine pairings and whiskey tastings alongside a culinary program helmed by a Michelin-starred director.
Next-Level Medical & Women's Health: Are you a morally-questionable billionaire trying to outrun death? Or simply a middle-aged woman trying to get a handle on her changing estrogen levels? Solutions for all! The property will debut the Women’s Wellness Collective with fitness equipment tailored to our body sizes and resistance needs, alongside advanced medical diagnostics for all with DEXA scans and rapid, in-stay bloodwork results.
All-Inclusive Programming: Your stay covers all meals, unlimited spa facilities (sauna, steam room, cold plunge), and over 35 daily complimentary activities, from guided hikes to stress management workshops.
Up to $1,000 in VIP Credits: By booking early through my Virtuoso access, you'll unlock exclusive "Stay Your Way" rates that include up to $1,000 in stackable spa, fitness, and wellness credits for a 3-night stay.
