No visit to The Crossings is complete without a visit to the Wellness Spa. Thoughtfully designed landscaping, fountains, and a spectacular view of Lake Travis make the Wellness Spa an environment conducive to total relaxation.

The Solidago Sanctuary, accessible only by trail, serves as the spiritual center of The Crossings. Hand-carved symbols representing the world's major religions are embedded in the stone wall surrounding the courtyard. The sanctuary's design uses light, air, and orientation to encourage exploration into quiet contemplation or open, joyous group occasions. The nearby labyrinth also invites quiet exploration and reflection. The stone bridge at the entrance to the sanctuary is representative of "The Crossings" concept of connecting our work and family lives with our spiritual selves.
