A n emphasis on women's wellness at every age is at the heart of Canyon Ranch Austin's 600- acre wellness resort, its first ground-up resort in the company's history, and the single largest investment since its founding in 1979 ($500 million in the initial phase). The spa, the largest in Texas, occupies 40,000 square feet and offers 40 treatment rooms, in addition to a salon, boutique, lounges, hydrotherapies, and The Springs, an outdoor oasis of pools, plunges, showers, and gardens. The resort was designed by Lake | Flato Architects, architect of record BOKA Powell, with landscape design by Ten Eyck Landscape Architects and interior design by Waldrop + Nichols Studio. Canyon Ranch's Texas ties run deep. Austinite Mark Rivers serves as the company's CEO. John and Cami Goff, the principal owners, live in Fort Worth, where Canyon Ranch also operates a wellness club and spa. (Canyon Ranch Fort Worth's Hungarian Mud Wrap Ritual utilizes the only Vichy table in North Texas). Three partnerships tell a bigger story about where beauty is heading. Canyon Ranch Austin, which treats the body as an interconnected system, brings circadian The New Canyon Ranch Austin — a First on Many Levels By Melissa Smrekar science into its approach, operating from the guiding philosophy that skin has a rhythm of its own. It's 2026, and your 10 am facial shouldn't be the same as your 6 pm facial. Canyon Ranch Austin launches New Zealand skincare brand RAESO in the United States, tailoring the products and protocol to what skin needs in that moment at that specific time of day during the Circadian Skin Renewal Facial ($430). The 80-minute signature service works with the skin's natural rhythm and pairs RAESO's circadian skincare with Ionix OcyLight t e c h n o l o g y. I n the morning, the f a c i a l a i m s t o defend, energize, and sculpt. During the evening, the f a c i a l r e p a i r s , replenishes, and deeply hydrates. Moving beyond traditional anti- aging, focusing on skin health at a cellular level, resilience, and l o n g e v i t y o v e r fads and a quick fix, Canyon Ranch Austin delivers a worldwide release: VENN's Longevity NMN5-EGT Ampoule, a Korean beauty brand that's sliding into longevity science. Korean skincare's pursuit of radiant "glass skin" inspired the 80-minute VENN Glass Skin Facial ($430). The treatment includes deep cleansing, resurfacing, probiotic-rich formulations, and Exosome and PDRN ampoules to support hydration, renewal, and resilience. A sculpting massage follows, creating the sought-after glass-skin glow. The facial culminates with the Skin Longevity NMN Ampoule, which the body utilizes to produce NAD+, the molecule involved in cellular energy metabolism and maintenance. Next time you're feeling particularly puffy (or have an event that merits a snatched jawline), remember these two important words: buccal massage. Canyon Ranch has long touted the power of therapeutic touch, and high-touch beauty is more important than ever. The first U.S. spa to offer Irene Forte's buccal massage, Canyon Ranch Austin launches this intraoral massage that works the face from both the inside and outside of the mouth ($450). By releasing deep facial tension, the 80-minute treatment improves circulation and naturally defines facial contours. A skilled aesthetician pairs this Irene Forte quadruple massage sequence with Phytomelatonin and a hydrating hyaluronic acid sheet mask. The new luxury? It's high touch. And Canyon Ranch Austin is leading the way. 600 Moonlight Bend, Spicewood; canyonranch.com/austin.
