Best Spa Retreat When You Can’t Afford One

A Day Pass to the Crossings

When you need serenity or a stress detox, a day pass to the Crossings is a terrific deal. Arrive early and stay late, for just $35 Monday through Thursday and $55 Friday through Sunday. Way cheaper than a shrink session! Nestled in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve overlooking Lake Travis, with native-landscaped grounds and handsome architecture, the Crossings is a New Age retreat. Day pass includes lounging by a beautiful infinity-edge pool, steam room and hot tub, hiking trails, activity classes, and a healthy lunch on a lovely terrace with lake views. Got cash to spare? Book a massage or spa treatment, classes, or overnight stay. Reservations required; reopening Oct. 1.
