South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (PRWEB) May 22, 2015 -- The Landing Resort & Spa, Lake Tahoe’s only five-star boutique lakeside resort, offers an intimate connection with the famously azure waters of North America’s largest alpine lake – ideally situating it to offer top ideas for making the most of a Lake Tahoe vacation. Recently described as “beach luxury” by Forbes and the “vanguard of trendy” by the New York Times, The Landing knows how to combine luxury, comfort and fun for its guests, so the chic California resort has offered a tip sheet of ideas on 10 perfect ways to enjoy Lake Tahoe this summer.
From lake-view rooms, decks and patios to private beach access for guests, The Landing Resort & Spa takes full advantage of its spectacular setting while arranging summer adventures for guests on the shores of hip Tahoe South. With the world famous Lake Tahoe and its 71 miles of shoreline as a canvas, fun on the water is just a matter of choosing among such sporting options as boating, waterskiing, wakeboarding, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. In addition to the obvious watersport options, The Landing offers these recommendations for experiencing the best of Tahoe this summer:
Go Fish. From serene fly fishing to chartered lake fishing, the trout of Tahoe will provide anglers a catch-worthy tale to take back home. Lake fishing is available year round and stream fishing from July 1 – Nov. 15, with the Truckee River available April 29 – Nov. 15. Learn to fly fish or refresh your skills with Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters.
C’mon Get Happy Hour. For a refreshing happy hour cocktail overlooking Lake Tahoe, stop by Jimmy’s Restaurant at the Landing Resort & Spa and try one of the signature Greek mojitos while drinking in the views of the lake and mountains from the lakeside patio. Happy Hour is 3:30 – 6:30 p.m. daily.
Hit the Links. Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to play through on greens frequented by celebs from Charles Barkley to Ray Romano at the Edgewood Golf Course, adjacent to The Landing Resort & Spa. Host to the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship each July, Edgewood is rated one of "America's Top Golf Courses” by Golf Digest.
Dine in Style. For South Lake Tahoe’s only five-star dining experience, enjoy the modern California and Greek/Mediterranean cuisine at Jimmy’s Restaurant at The Landing. Recently applauded by Forbes for “lots of fresh local produce and high quality seafood” in dishes that “shine,” Jimmy’s also provides an award-winning wine list that includes a selection of Greek vintages by the glass.
Play Cowboy. Equestrian adventurists will love exploring Tahoe on hoof, with horseback rides including backcountry pack trips, steak dinner rides, and one- to two-hour excursions, while families will have fun on summer hay wagons and pony rides. Visit Camp Richardson's Corral or Zephyr Cove Stables for riding options.
Relax. After an active day in the mountains or on the lake, The Landing invites guests to revel in a luxurious treatment at its in-house Spa. With four state-of-the-art treatment rooms, a couple’s room, plus a spa sanctuary, the Spa at The Landing features treatments using organic products and botanicals custom created for each guest, including a variety of massages from sports-specific to warm river rock to deep tissue, as well as facials, waxing, body wraps and glows.
Enjoy a Piece of Heaven. Ski season may be over, but Lake Tahoe's many ski areas, including Heavenly Mountain Resort just blocks from The Landing, still offer plenty of outdoor fun - and amazing lake views. Heavenly will open for sightseeing and limited hiking during Memorial Day weekend, from May 23-25. Then on June 12, the resort opens for summer fun with hiking, ropes course, and ziplines daily through Sept. 7.
Use Pedal Power. What better way to cover Tahoe territory while getting great exercise than on a bike. Bike paths, dirt roads, single track and bike parks abound, and The Landing provides complimentary colorful cruiser bikes for guests to pedal around town – as well as the comfy and fun state-of-the-art Pedego electric bikes.
