About Marfa

A pint-sized artsy town in the spectacular Trans-Pecos region, Marfa is a charming destination for those looking to unwind amidst expansive desert landscapes and the striking Texas mountains. Accommodation options include everything from simple, self-catering properties to swish city hotels with heaps of character, fit for an array of tastes and budgets. The best places to stay in Marfa are in the heart of town — perfect for exploring lively art galleries, cafés and boutiques on foot.

Famed as a creative hotspot, Marfa has an impressive internationally-recognised art scene. The Chinati Foundation and Judd Foundation are brilliant places to discover Donald Judd’s work, alongside that of other talented artists, whilst there are also a plethora of small, quirky galleries to tour — some by appointment. Ballroom Marfa hosts intriguing art retreats and exhibitions, the Marfa Studio of Arts offers great classes for children and teenagers, and the inspiring Hacienda del Arcon has a fascinating past.

History buffs should also head to the Marfa & Presidio County Museum, the Blackwell School Alliance or the Marfa Holocaust Museum. A guided walking tour is a wonderful chance to delve into the town’s heritage with an expert.

If you’re looking for adventure, you’ll find myriad hiking, cycling and horse riding trails in the surrounding landscape, as well as the opportunity to soar above the Marfa Plateau in a glider! Golfers can play a round at the highest course in Texas, whilst children will delight in a visit to the Marfa Maid Dairy.
