What to pack for a stay at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa
Pack swimwear, sun protection, and casual daytime clothes for the pools, lazy river, and outdoor activities, plus a light jacket and closed-toe shoes for trail, biking, or horseback outings. Bring spa-appropriate items, event or dinner outfits if you plan to dine at Stories Ranch Kitchen or attend an event, and any child- or pet-specific gear you need (the resort is family- and dog-friendly with designated pet rooms).

Swim and water-park essentials
The Crooked River Water Park area includes a lazy river, a children’s pool with waterslide, and an adults-only pool; pack multiple swimsuits so you always have a dry one. Pool hours and features can vary, so bring essentials for long days by the water rather than relying on on-site availability.
Towels are provided by the resort at pool areas, but you may prefer a quick-dry towel for hiking/biking days or for the car. The resort enforces wristbands and rules for pool entry, and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult while swimming; coolers and outside food/beverage are not allowed.
- 2–3 swimsuits or swim trunks
- Wide-brim hat or cap and sunglasses
- Reef‑safe sunscreen (broad-spectrum SPF) and lip balm
- Water shoes or sandals with good grip
- Waterproof phone pouch or dry bag
- Floaties/swim shirt for young kids (if needed)
| Item | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Swimsuit change | Stay comfortable during long pool days |
| Water shoes | Protection on pool decks, slide steps, rocky streams |
| Sunscreen | Texas sun is strong—reapply frequently |
Spa and wellness items
Lost Pines Spa has treatment rooms, saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, and a co-ed heated outdoor pool; spa access and treatments have age restrictions (guests must be 17+ to use the spa facilities, though children can receive treatments when accompanied by an adult). Pack light, comfortable clothes to change into after treatments and flip-flops for the relaxation areas.
If you plan to book treatments, bring any medical or allergy notes to share with therapists; the spa also provides robes and slippers during appointments. For the fitness center and group classes, bring workout clothes and your preferred earphones or fitness tracker.
- Light robe or cover-up (optional)

Daytime and outdoor activity gear
The 405-acre property supports biking, horseback riding, archery, tennis, golf, and nearby hiking at McKinney Roughs Nature Park and Bastrop State Park—pack clothing and footwear for the activities you expect to do. The resort offers free bicycles in multiple sizes and helmets, but bring cycling shorts or padded liners if you’ll bike long distances.
Bring a light jacket or windbreaker for early mornings or fall/winter evenings; Austin-area weather can be hot in summer and cooler outside peak daytime hours. If you’ll play golf at Lost Pines Golf Club or use tennis courts, bring sport-appropriate shoes and any specialty gear you prefer (some items like clubs may be available on-site).
- Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes

Clothing, dining, and event wear
Dining ranges from casual poolside bites to Stories Ranch Kitchen and Sushi by Scratch Restaurants; pack a mix of casual resort wear and a couple of smarter outfits if you plan on dining at Stories Ranch Kitchen or attending an event in one of the ballrooms.

If you’re attending a wedding or a meeting in a venue such as the Lost Pines Grand Ballroom, bring business-casual or formal attire as appropriate. The resort's event spaces host a wide range of gatherings, so check the specific event invitation or contact the resort for dress guidance.
