The lagoon will bring sandy beaches to the Hill Country.

One of the most popular resorts in the Texas Hill Country is prepping a splashy new amenity. In September, the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa will add a 2.2-acre crystal lagoon to the property.

According to a release, the family-friendly San Antonio resort partnered with Crystal Lagoons, a Florida-based company known for its breathtaking international builds. The Hyatt Regency project is the first use of the firm’s cutting-edge technology inside the central United States.

This new water feature will include pristine white sandy beaches, luxe private cabanas, and water sports activities. A new poolside venue, debuting in November, will overlook the lagoon and provide space for weddings and private events.

The swanky property will also add new accommodations in time for the busy vacation season, the release says. In May, the retreat will introduce five 2,336-square-foot villas named after Hill Country rivers. Each secluded rental will feature four bedrooms outfitted with soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and private patios.

The complex will also include enticing shared spaces for socializing with other guests, including a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, and an outdoor lounge and dining area centered around a firepit.

Each booking includes VIP perks like text access to a 24-hour villa host, twice-daily housekeeping services, enhanced in-room dining, and a golf cart. Vacationers will also have access to the pool and other amenities at the Wildflower Spa.

The new additions continue the resort’s ongoing enhancements. In 2023, Hyatt Regency Hill Country finished renovating all its guestrooms and suites. The following year, the resort focused on updating its dining options, modernizing the Antlers Lodge restaurant, Cactus Oak Tavern, and Charlie’s Long Bar, and adding a new indoor-outdoor concept, Woodbine Bar, to the lobby.

“Hyatt Regency Hill Country has been delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests for over 30 years," said Steven J. Smith, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa, via a release. "We are now thrilled to embark on an exciting new chapter that will redefine the resort experience here in Central Texas.”
