Enjoy Year-Round Adventures at Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe

by susan b. barnes

When Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe opened its doors in December 2023, it blended Jimmy Buffett’s signature island vibes with the region’s epic adventurous mountain spirit. Each of the all-suite resort’s 399 accommodations boasts stunning lake or mountain views, with coastal-inspired décor and separate bedrooms and living spaces.

A Year-Round Retreat

The brand’s first ski destination, Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe shines 365 days of the year. Situated at the base of Heavenly Mountain Resort, Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe is a popular home base for winter sports buffs. By day, you ski, snowboard, snowshoe, snowmobile, and do some more skiing—this time cross-country. Don’t forget there’s ample sledding, tubing, snow biking and even ice skating. By late afternoon, you return indoors for the perfect après-experience. If you prefer, sip cocktails fireside, or in a private heated igloo. For those experiencing tired muscles, go for the ultimate soak in the indoor-outdoor heated pool and hot tub.

Now switch gears in summer. South Lake Tahoe’s nearby shoreline attracts a crop of outdoor lovers. Think kayakers, paddleboarders, sailors, mountain bikers, hikers, and those into chasing the dimpled ball, hit the golf course. Of course, the area is bursting with community summer festivals, and getting a bird’s-eye scenic view from the Heavenly Mountain Gondola will make you want to stay for hours.

As summer gives way to fall, the backdrop of these experiences is enhanced with the fall foliage colors.

Unwind with Comfort and Cuisine

No matter the season, Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe delivers comfort and fun. There’s the indoor heated pool and hot tub, weekly family-friendly events like movie nights, and the Parakeets Kid’s Club for kids ages 5 to 10. Not only is the resort family-friendly, but it is dog-friendly, too, so you can bring Fido along for the fun.

Foodies can get ready! Picture five dining options, like JWB Prime Steak and Seafood, named for the legendary James “Jimmy” William Buffett. It serves prime steaks, seafood and world-class wines. Island-inspired twists on American tavern fare are found at LandShark Bar & Grill. For drinks and apps, pop into the License to Chill Bar, or grab a coffee and bite to-go at Joe Merchant’s Coffee & Provisions. You’ll see groups settling in and enjoying the weekend breakfast buffet Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings at Come Monday Café. And if you cannot bear the thought of leaving the comforts of your suite, in-room dining is available, too.

Whether planning a vacation filled with outdoor adventures or a relaxing getaway to rest and recharge, you will find everything you need at Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe, whichever season you choose to visit.
