Locals Only: Spa Sway's Austin Staycation Edit
You don’t need plane tickets to reset. Sometimes the most restorative getaways are the ones that happen right here at home—with your favorite coffee, your city’s best views, and a spa day that actually lives up to the hype.
This is your cue to unplug, recharge, and romanticize your day off. We’ve mapped out a low-effort, high-impact staycation itinerary featuring a few of our go-to local gems—centered around an afternoon at Spa Sway, one of the top-rated destinations for facials, injectables, and massages in Austin.
9:00 AM — Swedish Hill & a Soft Start
Swedish Hill makes mornings feel a little more intentional. Order your go-to coffee, find a sunny spot outside, and let the pace slow down before the day begins.

10:30 AM — Morning Greenbelt Walk
Head to the Barton Creek Greenbelt for a shaded hike or a slow walk along the water. It’s cardio that clears your head without wrecking your energy. Bonus: it’s the perfect prep for a late-day lymphatic drainage massage.

11:30 AM — Brunch at Mattie’s
Beneath a canopy of ancient oaks, Mattie’s serves up southern-inspired fare with just enough polish. Sip a glass of something crisp, lean into the hush of the historic estate, and keep an eye out for the peacocks strutting by like they own the place. It’s the long lunch that makes you forget you’re still in city limits.
2:00 PM — Spa Sway
Midday is when the magic happens. Whether you’re searching for a facial near you that actually delivers or curious about where to get Dysport in Austin, this is your moment.
