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.
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.
