Stay at the Historic Mission Resort + Club: Relaxation & a Round of Golf in Florida’s Hill Country

Set over 500 lush acres in Central Florida’s Hill Country, the beautiful Mission Resort + Club evokes pure serenity in an exquisitely picturesque natural setting: Think ancient live oaks, swaying palms, shimmering water views, rolling hills. Tee off at the property’s premier El Campeón or Las Colinas golf courses, set amidst verdant landscapes, or escape off the green to The Spa at Mission Resort + Club, a 6,200-square-foot haven of wellness and tranquility. (Golfer’s Massage, anyone?)

Other serene on-site elements include a heated outdoor pool and hot tub; meanwhile, you can embark on more active excursions like hiking, freshwater fishing, and biking (rentals are available). What’s more, have a ball on one of the Mission’s myriad volleyball, pickleball, and tennis courts (World Tennis Magazine touts the property among the “top 25 resorts.”) 

With its full-service spa and stunning expansive grounds that promote nature’s stellar beauty and tranquility, the Mission Resort + Club inspires and recharges. 

Hit the Links, Then Head to the Spa 

Tee off then take the time for blissful pampering and bespoke treatments. The Spa at Mission Resort + Club features a thoughtfully curated menu of services. Try the Bourbon and Vanilla Massage (80 mins; $170), then indulge in the Let It Glow Facial (50 mins; $125). And the Cactus Toning Body Wrap (80 mins; $145)? Also a must. (Additionally, we love how, along with its excellent massage, facial, body, tinting, nailcare, and waxing treatments, the spa features golf-influenced services.)

Before or after your treatment, take advantage of the eucalyptus-infused steam room, complimentary with your 50- or 80-minute spa booking; you can also reserve 30-minute sauna sessions as a standalone service. 

Presented as a “beacon of rejuvenation,” this central Florida spa sanctuary is an idyllic respite for a girls’ getaway, romantic couple’s retreat, and simply a chance to celebrate or unwind following a round of golf.
