When luxury is what you seek, Lake Tahoe is where you should go. The resorts here do a great job of creating the ultimate vacation experience. But away from resorts, Lake Tahoe is the ultimate setting for a luxurious vacation where natural beauty and the diverse landscape can turn any simple activity into a fulfilling endeavor. So if you want to vacation in style, make sure to include some of these activities and attractions at Lake Tahoe in your schedule.
Golfing
With six championship golf courses and four executive courses, you will have plenty of choices when it comes to tee time. The different designs and landscapes make golfing in Lake Tahoe such an exquisite experience. Some courses hug the lakeshore while others swirl around etched glaciers, and yet there are those that turn the alpine forest into a stunning setting. Some golf courses you won’t want to miss include The Village at Palisades Tahoe, Wolf Run Golf Course, Old Brockway Golf Course, and Carson Valley Golf Course among many others.
Marinas
Whether you’re renting a boat or planning to, you’ll need a marina to dock and refuel. Lake Tahoe has over 13 marinas and boat companies that rent, maintain, fix, and offer boat accessories. Sierra Boat Company offers boats made of wood and has been operating since 1954. Tahoe City Marina offers a comprehensive service including gas dock, haul out and storage, boat, slip, and buoy rental among other services. Homewood Marina is another full-service shop that has among other things a forklift.
Sometimes, a luxurious getaway anywhere simply comes down to options to set the tone for your own one-of-a-kind adventures. When you’re the type of traveler that values time on the water enjoying the scenery lingering in the natural beauty, then renting a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard for a day during your luxurious getaway might just be the highlight of your trip. There are many companies that dot the shoreline that offer quality equipment and gear to fit your every need. Many of those that staff these outdoor adventure companies can offer up local insight and advice on hidden away gems when it comes to exploring in authentic area style!
Shopping
Shopping in Lake Tahoe is more than browsing for products and buying stuff. It’s a whole different and fun experience where antiques and specialty shops mix with apparel outlets and gift boutiques. You can easily spend a whole day here moving from one shop to the next exploring the beauty and art of Lake Tahoe. For art and crafts check out North Tahoe Art Center Gift Shop. Most of the resorts in the area also have their own swanky shopping outlets that carry the best designer brands.
Spend Time Relaxing at an Area Spa
Yes, the outdoor scenery is sure to thrill when you make your way to Lake Tahoe for a luxurious escape from the daily grind. That said, there’s nothing more refreshing or restorative then time spent at the spa and fortunately, visitors will find that Lake Tahoe is home to plenty of options to choose from! A focus on the southern portion of the lake offers up much in the way of rejuvenating fun and relaxation. Whether you book an appointment at Elements Day Spa, BioSpirit Day Spa, or The Landing Tahoe Resort & Spa, you’ll come out of it feeling and looking your absolute best.
Indulge in Guided Experiences
