Summer is here, Houston. Thankfully, there are plenty of incredible summer activities to do in the city. From floating rooftop pools, to taking a dive in a picturesque blue lagoon, drinking cocktails poolside bar, and more: summer is a good time in Houston, despite the heat.
If you’re looking for a summer experience outside the city, take a trip out to Horseshoe Bay Resort in Texas, home to the country’s only floating pool.
The Horseshoe Bay Resort is a luxury, lakeside resort open year round in Texas Hill Country. Located a little over an hour’s drive northeast of Austin, the resort features a sweeping myriad of amenities with everything from a full-service marina, to an award-winning golf course, sports courts, floating pool, and more.
The 7,000-acre resort houses a wide swatch of accommodations. Visitors can choose from over 350 suites and rooms across the massive destination resort, with bookings available in the Resort Towers, Waterfront Condos, Palm Villa Suites, or Private homes.
Amenities at the waterfront resort are frankly off the charts. In addition to the aforementioned attractions, Horseshoe Bay features the Splash Safari Aqua Park, full-service spa, putting course, private jet charter, tennis, and pickleball courts.
Its latest addition is the new, European-inspired floating pool. Located on the shores of its Lake LBJ waterfront beach, the pool is bordered with cabanas, sun chairs, and booths. The beach itself features sand volleyball courts, a bar, as well as The Shack Food Truck. Over the course of the summer, the resort hosts beach/pool parties every Saturday.
Across the grounds, visitors can dine among eight restaurants. Whether you’re craving fajita skewers with a waterfront view, a hearty breakfast on the patio, healthy salad, or food truck-served tacos – you can find it all at Horseshoe Bay.
Stays at the Horseshoe Bay Resort start at $269.10 (+ $66.54 in fees) per night.
