Plan a long weekend adventure at Lajitas Golf Resort and Spa, a 27,000-acre private estate nestled between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park. The entire resort theme is inspired by the Old West. If you are looking for vacation spots in Texas where you can enjoy spectacular scenery, a great golf course, and rejuvenating spa treatments, Lajitas offers them all. Resort rooms, suites and villas offer guests a choice of a range of styles in four very different hotels. There are twenty-six individually decorated rooms at the Cavalry Post.

Each room evokes a feeling of cowboy chic with cowhide rugs, rough-hewn saddles, and clawfoot tubs. La Cuesta's 12 guestrooms are ideal for families since several of the rooms can be made to adjoin a standard room with a double queen. The 16 junior suites in the Officers' Quarters are the most luxurious the resort has to offer.

The patios and balconies of the Officers' Quarters overlook the Ambush Golf Course and Big Bend (Video). The four restaurants at the vacation resort give guests plenty of different dining options for the duration of their vacation.

Chef Jeff Blank offers fine dining at the Ocotillo Restaurant. Enjoy Southwestern dining and views of the golf course at the Candelilla Cafe. For a more casual atmosphere try the Thirsty Goat Saloon or the Trading Post Cafe.

The Ambush is an 18-hole 7,042-yard (from the back tees) championship golf course that is every bit as unique as the rest of the resort. The course has four holes on an island in the Rio Grande, and hole 11A - a par one in Mexico. A golf vacation will give a lucky few the opportunity to make an international hole-in-one.

Agavita Spa has three massage rooms, a facial room, a salon, and offers a wide range of treatments designed to make you look and feel good on vacation. Choose from a whole range of outdoor activities that allow you to be as active or as relaxed as you wish.

Texas vacation resort.There are up to five different resort activities offered every day. Swim in the pool, take a historical tour of the property, or rent a mountain bike and tour part of the 1 million acres of conservation land that surround the property. The resort is 450 miles from San Antonio, 600 miles from Dallas and 300 from El Paso. The fastest way to reach it is to fly into the private airfield right at the resort.
