DINING, ENTERTAINMENT & SHOPPING

The dining and shopping scenes in Lakeway are as elevated and diverse as the communities themselves. Just minutes away, the Hill Country Galleria offers an open-air shopping experience featuring a curated mix of upscale boutiques, well-known retailers, and local specialty shops. It’s more than just a retail destination—it’s a community hub with a splash pad for kids, a public library, and year-round events the whole family can enjoy.

When it comes to dining in Lake Travis, the area is full of standout options. The Oasis—famously dubbed the “Sunset Capital of Texas”—pairs breathtaking views of Lake Travis. Head to Maudie’s Milagro for classic Tex-Mex in a lively setting, or Mandola’s for Italian comfort food that has a family-friendly vibe. For an elevated night out, Plate by Dzintra is great for date nights or special celebrations. Take the boat out and head to Captain Pete's Boathouse - a floating restaurant that has been a staple in the Lake Travis community for years. Here, you'll enjoy menu items like burgers and fried catfish, along with tasty drinks.

THINGS TO DO

Lake Travis residents enjoy boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and other water sports right in their backyard. For those who prefer land-based adventures, nearby parks and nature trails offer endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and exploring the Hill Country landscape.

The Lakeway area is also home to many wineries like Stone House Vineyard and 5 Soul (which also has pickleball courts!) For incoming guests or a quick escape, head to Lakeway Resort and Spa.

The community also boasts access to some of the region’s most exclusive clubs, including Barton Creek Country Club at Lakeside, Falconhead Golf Club, The Hills Country Club, Rough Hollow Yacht Club, and Spanish Oaks Golf Club. Whether your passion is golf, sailing, tennis, or social gatherings, these clubs provide first-class amenities in a luxurious yet laid-back setting. For Tennis enthusiasts, I recommend The Austin Tennis Academy. For kids active in sports in Lake Travis, D1 Training offers an excellent coaching program.
