Art, nature and mysterious lights come together in an unsuspecting place you probably know as Marfa.

Marfa's Prada Roadside Art Installment

Designer fashion doesn’t usually come to mind when someone thinks of the desert, but Prada Marfa has transcended its public art status into a cultural icon worthy of making a stop on the way to Marfa. Though there is never a bad time to see the Prada Marfa art installation, you will get the best photos during sunrise and sunset.

Unique Places to Stay in Marfa

Once you’ve seen some of the sights, get settled in your own desert oasis. El Cosmico is a trendy hotel and campground that gives you the best glamping has to offer. If downtown Marfa is more your speed, Hotel Paisano’s historic charm will make you feel at home.

Hotel Paisano also offers on-site dining. Rub elbows with the locals at other eateries in town like Pizza Foundation and Planet Marfa, just to name a few. Pro-tip: It’s worth calling ahead, as many restaurants close early in Marfa.

Nothing beats ending your nights under the West Texas sky. While Marfa is known for the Mystery Lights, the stars truly steal the show. Come explore this hidden gem in West Texas.
