LAJITAS

Lajitas features West Texas luxury at its best. What was originally a cavalry post established to protect the river crossing is now the site of the fabulous Lajitas Resort. Here at “Texas’s Ultimate Hideout” you will find a private airport, a golf course with an optional hole 11A in Mexico, the Agavita Spa, and fine dining. Be sure to treat Lajitas’s beer-guzzling goat, Mayor Clay Henry III, to a round at the Lajitas Trading Post. Lajitas has 92 first-class accommodations.
