Canyon Ranch

Spicewood, Texas

Set amid the rugged beauty of the Texas Hill Country, Canyon Ranch is a destination devoted to restoration, reflection, and whole-person wellbeing. Situated on a 569-acre site with over two miles of Colorado River frontage, the resort draws inspiration from the site’s natural spring-fed ponds, wooded bluffs, and panoramic vistas to offer guests an immersive connection to nature and health.

Designed by Lake|Flato Architects, with BOKA Powell serving as Architect of Record, the resort includes 143 guest rooms, a comprehensive spa complex, and a state-of-the-art fitness and performance center. Beyond the physical amenities, the resort supports mental and emotional renewal through spiritual programming spaces, a medical and counseling clinic, and outdoor environments that foster both solitude and community.

Rooted in biophilic design principles, the master plan weaves together architecture and landscape to ensure every movement across the site feels intentional and restorative. Intimate gathering spaces, broad open-air terraces, and scenic trails allow guests to engage with the terrain and the seasons. Culinary offerings, including farm-to-table dining, further promote a lifestyle centered on vitality and balance.

Canyon Ranch Central Texas is not only a destination, but a philosophy built into the land—one where health, nature, and architecture converge to create lasting personal transformation.
