Lake Austin Spa Resort Redefines the Holiday Office Party With a Luxurious Alternative for Team Celebrations

During the busiest time of year, gathering your team shouldn’t add to the stress — it should melt it away. That’s why Lake Austin Spa Resort is offering a new kind of holiday celebration for small teams and executive groups looking to skip the standard office party and opt for something more restorative.

Instead of the usual crowded restaurant or noisy event space, imagine spending an afternoon wrapped in calm on the shores of Lake Austin. The resort’s Elevated Escape is a four-hour, private spa-day experience that lets teams slow down, reconnect and genuinely enjoy time together. Designed for either midday or late afternoon, it’s an ideal way to thank colleagues, celebrate partnerships or set the tone for shared success in 2026.

Your Team’s Wellness Itinerary

The experience begins with a celebratory mimosa bar before transitioning into a private crystal bowl sound bath, which is an instant reset for mind and mood. A guided boat cruise on Lake Austin offers a chance to step outside the rush of the season and simply breathe,while the resort’s pools, saunas, and quiet lounges invite guests to unwind at their own pace.

Of course, what’s a holiday gathering without great food? Choose a health-focused lunch or relaxed, happy-hour bites at The Venue, indoors or lakeside.

To round out the celebration, a 2026 vision-board session provides a creative, meaningful way to align around goals and possibilities for the year ahead.
