6 bed resort Yurt at a luxury Austin Wellness Ranch 10 minutes from downtown.

Welcome to AWKN Ranch

When you book one of our yurts or the Honeycomb Dome, you're not just booking a place to sleep. You're stepping into AWKN Ranch, a 12-acre wellness sanctuary in South Austin, just 10 minutes from downtown. It's close enough to enjoy everything the city has to offer, and peaceful enough that the moment you drive through the gate, you'll feel the city fall away.

AWKN Ranch was created as a place for healing, connection, and transformation. Our guiding philosophy is Ancient Wisdom Knowing Now: honoring the timeless practices that help people come home to themselves, and making them accessible in a beautiful, modern, and welcoming setting. Whether you're here for a quiet solo reset, a weekend with your partner, a getaway with friends, or a gathering with your community, the land is here to hold you.

Your Accommodations

The Bali Yurt and Barcelona Yurt
Our two yurts are spacious, temperature controlled retreats that blend the simplicity of round living with real comfort. Each sleeps up to 6 guests, making them perfect for friends or family traveling together. They can also be set up as a private king for couples or solo travelers who want room to breathe. Waking up in a yurt surrounded by nature has a way of slowing everything down. Mornings feel softer, and evenings feel more connected.

The Honeycomb Dome
The Honeycomb Dome is one of the most unique stays in Austin. Its geometric design creates a space that feels both cozy and expansive. It's cooled by two AC units, so you'll stay comfortable even through a Texas summer. It sleeps up to 5 guests, or can be set up as a private king for a romantic or restorative retreat. Many guests tell us it's where they had the best sleep in years.

What Your Stay Includes

When you stay with us, the ranch becomes your playground. Your booking includes access to the land and the amenities that make AWKN Ranch so special.

The Wellness Center
Our wellness center is the heart of the restorative experience on the ranch.
Saunas to sweat, release, and relax deeply
Cold plunge to reset your nervous system, sharpen your mind, and wake up your whole body
Hot tub to soak and unwind under the open sky
Wellness spa space designed for rest and recovery

Contrast therapy, moving between the heat of the sauna and the cold of the plunge, is one of the most powerful practices for circulation, recovery, mood, and resilience. Many guests build their whole day around it: a morning plunge to start, a sauna session in the afternoon, and a hot tub soak before bed.

The Hammock Garden
Tucked into the land is our hammock garden, a place to read, nap, daydream, or simply listen to the wind in the trees. It's one of the most loved spots on the ranch, and it's the kind of place where you suddenly realize you haven't checked your phone in hours.

Fire Pits
As the sun goes down, gather around one of our fire pits. Share stories, watch the stars come out, and enjoy the kind of conversations that only happen around a fire. It's a beautiful way to end a day, whether you're with old friends or new ones you met that afternoon.

Pickleball
Bring some friendly competition to your stay. Our pickleball court is open to guests, and it's a fun way to move your body, laugh, and connect.

Twelve Acres to Explore
The land itself is one of the greatest gifts of AWKN Ranch. Walk the property, find a quiet corner to meditate, journal under a tree, or simply sit and take it in. There is space here to be alone with your thoughts and space to come together.

A Place to Work, Too
If you need to get some work done during your stay, the ranch offers space to settle in with your laptop. Many guests find that a change of scenery brings fresh clarity and creativity to their work.

Elevate Your Stay

Want to go deeper? We offer a range of add-on experiences that can be arranged in advance.

Sound baths
Lie back and let the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other instruments wash over you. Sound baths are deeply relaxing and can help quiet a busy mind and release stored tension.

Breathwork
Guided breathwork sessions can help you release stress, access emotion, and feel more present in your body. Many guests describe it as one of the most powerful experiences of their stay.

Guided meditation
Whether you're new to meditation or have a long practice, our guided sessions help you settle into stillness and connect with yourself.

IV vitamin drips
Rehydrate and replenish with an IV vitamin drip. It's a great way to recover from travel, support your immune system, or simply give your body some extra care.

On-site chef meals
Let our chef nourish you with wholesome, delicious meals made with care. It's perfect for groups, special occasions, or anyone who wants to fully relax and let someone else handle the cooking.

Please reach out ahead of your stay to book add-ons so we can make sure everything is ready for you.

Gatherings and Community

AWKN Ranch is home to a vibrant community. Beyond our lodging, the property includes the Temple Space and the Maloka Dome, our brand-new 50-foot geodesic dome that seats up to 170 guests. These spaces host ceremonies, workshops, concerts, celebrations, retreats, and community events throughout the year. Depending on when you visit, you may find yourself on the land during a beautiful gathering. If you're interested in hosting your own event, retreat, or celebration, ask us about booking a venue space or a full ranch buyout.

AWKN Ranch is also home to Within Center, Texas's first ceremonial ketamine-assisted therapy practice. If you're curious about the deeper healing work happening on the land, we're happy to share more.
