Austin Has Powers

We’ve always relished spending the day in our bathrobe.

We did just that at the luscious Lake Austin Spa Resort in Texan Hill Country (glam girls Renee Z. and Sandra B. have lounged here). We followed up our mind-blowing Seven Centers Life Chakra Massage ($195) with laps in the pool barn and lunch made from herbs picked in the spa’s organic garden.

Overnighters can sign up for cooking classes with Food Network chefs, take a bird-watching cruise or do yoga on the dock. Book a lake-view room with private porch, or feel like a First Lady in the sumptuous Lady Bird Suite with fine antiques, hot tub and private wildflower garden.

We may never get dressed again.
