The JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa is nestled among 600 acres of oak-covered hills. Guests enjoy upscale stylish accommodations, top-notch service, and breathtaking Texas Hill Country views. The property is filled with opportunities for recreation such as visiting the nine-acre water park or playing the two stunning PGA-Certified golf courses.

For those seeking relaxation, the resort is home to Lantana Spa, a full-service wellness center where guests can revive the mind, body, and spirit while embracing the traditions of Latin American Curanderos. We caught up with Spa Director Shane Kelly to get the inside scoop on Lantana Spa:

Why You’ll Love It: Besides our seven knots ritual, it is our location and our staff that guests love the most. We have an amazing staff that is dedicated to providing an authentic, unique experience. Plus, we are just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of San Antonio and Austin that it is a true respite when you visit with us.

Key Features: We are a full-service spa that offers all the amenities you could hope for. We have a sauna, steam and whirlpool, locker rooms, as well as an outdoor adult co-ed heated pool and hot tub. Besides our beautiful outdoor gardens surrounding our pool area, we also feature three separate relaxation lounge areas.

Bonus: We have a customizable tea bar where you can blend your own unique beverage. The specialized tea also has tinctures designed to remedy everyday ailments like stress, muscle and joint relief, and overall well-being.

Spa Snacks: We serve fresh fruits and some light snacks within the spa, but if your appetite is greater, we encourage you to try something delicious from our Replenish Spa Bistro. It provides healthy meals, light cocktails, and wine options for a fulfilling spa experience.

Insider’s Favorite: One of my personal favorites is our signature treatment, which we call the Spirit of the Curanderos. Besides being a luxurious journey designed to calm the mind and body, it is also a sensory experience that guides you through our Hill Country. The treatment begins with a mineral exfoliation, then leads into a massage featuring wild local organic lavender.
