AlyssaLast week we disconnected from the world and reconnected to ourselves at the La Cantera Resort & Spa. Located across the way from the Shops at La Cantera, this luxury resort provides guests with everything they need for a blissful stay – numerous green spaces to lounge around, three pools + one kiddie pool, the stunning Loma de Vida spa and more.
Jacqueline and I stayed on SEVEN, the 21+ only floor with a dedicated concierge, complimentary drinks + snacks, a lounge area and bar. I absolutely loved waking up and walking just out my door to gather breakfast items to bring back to my room and enjoy in privacy. Fresh pastries, fresh fruit, hot items and more are available for all SEVEN guests for free! We definitely walked out in our robes and slippers each morning. Oh and the happiness doesn’t end at breakfast! Complimentary happy hour (imagine charcuterie + wine!) is from 6 to 8pm. 
While staying on SEVEN, guests also have complimentary access to the relaxing amenities at Loma de Vida including the outdoor spa pool + jacuzzi, herbal steam rooms, Himalayan salt saunas and a luxury indoor pool with mini waterfalls and cold towels to lay across your face while the water from the pool heats your body. 
Another highlight of our stay was the adult only infinity pool overlooking the rolling Texas Hill country. We suggest renting out a cabana with some friends and enjoying an afternoon basking in the sun (with sunscreen! That Texas sun is no joke.) and ordering lunch poolside. I suggest the seared ahi tuna burger with truffle fries. Mmm. And a piña colada! 🍍
During our two night stay, I felt as if I was miles away from home. The hustle + bustle of daily life fades away when you walk through the resort. As I packed my bags to leave I felt a tinge of sadness that quickly passed when I reminded myself paradise was right in our backyard.
