The LakeHouse Spa
The LakeHouse Spa is a critically acclaimed indoor and outdoor facility with innumerable treatments to satisfy any guest. Whether guests want a massage, a body wrap, a manicure or a pedicure, or a facial, they can find it here at the spa.
Guests who value privacy should consider reserving the Bamboo Room, an outdoor treatment area that holds a maximum of six people. It has everything a pampered guest could need: an in-ground hot tub with a waterfall, lush gardens, a treatment cabana for two, and a private outdoor shower. There is also a private indoor suite for two people that can be reserved. It has a tandem treatment area, a private bathroom, and an oversized dual-head shower.
The LakeHouse Spa has massages for any taste, and customized treatments are available. There is a Muscle Tension Melt that uses herb-steamed hot compresses that specialists will massage into your tired muscles. The River Rock Massage uses warmed stones with lavender oil to ease your stress away. The Texas Starry Night massage is designed to help guests fall asleep – it starts with a lavender and chamomile oil massage, followed by a lavender body wrap and an herbed eye pack.
The Thai massage will give you increased energy, as it provides stimulation and lengthens your muscles. The Star of India Massage starts with warm oil, which streamed over your forehead and massaged into your scalp and neck, and it is followed by a full-body massage designed to balance and soothe. Pre-natal massages with specially designed massage tables and comfortable pillows use aromatherapy oils to relax muscles and joints. These are only a few of the many massage offerings of the LakeHouse Spa.
If you don’t want a full-body massage, foot and hand massages are available, as are scalp massages. Foot massages include acupressure to promote healing throughout your body. Stressed guests may wish to try acupuncture, an ancient method of relieving tension, and the LakeHouse Spa also offers traditional Asian glass cups, which are heated and placed on the body, stimulating circulation and promoting full-body health. Hari is another Asian tradition: it is acupuncture without the needles. Instead, a 14-carat gold instrument gently taps pressure points on your body, leaving you feeling less stressed and more balanced.
Many different body treatments and wraps are available at The LakeHouse Spa. Most options include both exfoliation and moisturizing. The Gifts of our Garden option uses fresh herbs from the resort’s own garden. Guests are given a choice of which herb they would like for their treatment, and the selected herb is then mixed with Shea butter, sea salt, and essential oils and is used to exfoliate the guest’s skin. Guests are then invited to shower with aromatherapy gel, and after receive a full-body massage followed by a body wrap. Those who choose this treatment are left feeling rejuvenated, moisturized, and healthy from top to toe.
Other body treatment packages include the Tour of Texas, which uses mesquite and agave nectar extracts to moisturize and soften skin, and the Best of the Southwest package, which gives guests the pleasure of a massage and wraps with lovely scents of jojoba, mango, and ginger. There are so many options at The LakeHouse Spa. Guests can choose a scent that they like from the dazzling array on offer, including pomegranate, papaya, guava, eucalyptus, coffee, fig, aloe, olive, and avocado, and they can spend their time wrapped or exfoliated with the chosen aroma.
The LakeHouse Spa offers a variety of facials, both masks and peels. Many facials have anti-aging properties while others relieve tension, hydrate the skin, clear the sinuses, release toxins, and bring tone and firmness to aging skin.
Waxing is available at the spa, as is lash and brow drying and lip repair. A full array of manicures, pedicures, and hand and foot treatments are available.
