Lajitas is a 25,000-acre private estate nestled between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park in Texas. The entire resort theme is inspired by the Old West. Head out to Lajitas to enjoy the spectacular scenery, a great golf course, and some rejuvenating spa treatments on your Texas vacation.
Rooms & Suites
Lajitas has 72 rooms which offer guests a choice of a range of styles in four very different hotels. The 15 rooms at the Badlands Hotel above the Lajitas Boardwalk have red velvet comforters, Mexican-tile bathrooms, and sweeping views of the surroundings.
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 a family vacation 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 Lajitas has to offer. The patios and balconies of the Officers' Quarters overlook the Ambush Golf Course and Big Bend.
Where to Eat
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.
Things to Do
The Ambush at Lajitas 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 at Lajitas in Texas will give a lucky few the opportunity to make an international hole-in-one.
The 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.
Lajitas offers a whole range of outdoor activities that allow you to be as active or as quiet as you wish on vacation. 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 this Texas vacation resort.
How to Get to the Resort
Lajitas is 450 miles drive from San Antonio, 600 miles from Dallas, Texas, and 300 from El Paso. The fastest way to reach Lajitas is to fly into the private airfield right at the resort.
