Note Bene
At Lajitas, you may do as much or as little as you like, but you'll never be without something to do if you so please. Relax at the swimming pool, curl up for an afternoon nap or take advantage of the varied amenities at Lajitas including the Ambush Golf Course, Agavita Spa, Lajitas Stables, Hunt Club, La Playa Preserve, Boardwalk shops, and Red Rock Outfitters. Up to five resort activities are offered everyday. You may learn how to bullwhip at the Equestrian Center, putt like a pro at the Ambush Golf Course, or create culinary classics with our chefs. Go on fossil explorations, take a historical tour of Lajitas, or identify birds unique to the Big Bend region at our La Playa Preserve. Nightly entertainment is offered at the Thirsty Goat Saloon with guitarist Cowboy Doug and Thursday night is movie night under the stars at the Lajitas Amphitheater. The resort activities menu changes monthly. * * * The first destination resort in Texas, Lajitas is worlds away from anything you've ever known - not only in spirit but in location as well. Plush leather seats, a welcoming pilot, space for five close friends, and spectacular aerial views are the beginning of the Lajitas adventure for those who desire expedient and stylish travel. Flying at 45,000 feet, our jets reach Lajitas in just about one hour from any of the major cities in Texas including Dallas, Houston, Austin, El Paso, San Antonio, and Midland/Odessa. Upon landing, just five minutes from the resort, our hosts will whisk you away to the Badlands Hotel for check-in. Guests of Lajitas may contract the jets to and from a destination in Texas and for individual or group use, while members receive a reduced rate and are permitted to travel from their home airports to any destination in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico at the same member rate.

Spa Facility
The essence of the native Agave plant is said to promote inner self, beauty, and strength which is manifest in the flower of the plant - a tight rosette spiraling from a the nutrient-rich heart. Agavita Spa is designed to offer you the nourishing benefits of this unique desert plant. Aromatic and healing elements of the Chihuahuan Desert are the foundation for our treatments - from specialty massage and skin treatments to hydrating facials and luxuriant manicures and pedicures. Designed to nourish both your body and soul, most treatments include native extracts including Agave, Rio Grande mud, and stones from the Big Bend area. With three massage rooms, a facial room, and salon, the Agavita offers a wide range of treatments in an intimate and soothing atmosphere.
Golfing
This championship, 18-hole golf course is every bit as unique as Lajitas itself. The Ambush plays to 7,042 yards from the back tees and features four holes on an island in the Rio Grande. The difficulty of this Bechtol Russell course is deceiving as it increases in difficulty from hole to hole. International golf has new meaning with Hole 11 - a par one in Mexico. For a lucky few, an international hole-in-one is not only a challenging feat but a great story to tell back home. Adjacent to the Ambush Clubhouse are the driving range and practice greens where ProV1 practice balls are the Ambush standard. Our professional staff is available for assistance and lessons upon request.
