Good Housekeeping 2026 Travel Award “Vacation Vibes by the Slopes”
Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe Wins Good Housekeeping 2026 Travel Award for “Vacation Vibes by the Slopes”
South Lake Tahoe, CA (January 8, 2025) — Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe is proud to announce it has been named a winner in the Good Housekeeping 2026 Travel Awards, earning top honors in the Outdoor Exploration category for its signature experience, “Vacation Vibes by the Slopes.”
Now in its fourth year, the Good Housekeeping Travel Awards recognize destinations that strike the perfect balance between effortless relaxation and unforgettable adventure. Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe stood out as an ideal mountain escape, offering slope-side access, lively après-ski experiences and unmistakable island-inspired hospitality, all just steps from the Heavenly Gondola.
The award celebrates the resort’s ability to redefine the mountain getaway by blending alpine adventure with Margaritaville’s signature laid-back vibe. Guests can spend the day exploring the Sierra Nevada Mountains before unwinding with après-ski offerings, cozy heated igloos and elevated dining experiences.
Good Housekeeping travel tester Sally Caruso highlighted the resort’s atmosphere, saying the lobby is “pure Margaritaville — bright, lively and full of picture-perfect spots that instantly make you feel like you’re on vacation.” Caruso, who visited the resort in September, also highlighted the spacious suite bathrooms and named JWB Prime Steak & Seafood as her favorite on-property restaurant for both service and food.
This recognition reinforces Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe as a premier year-round destination for travelers seeking outdoor exploration paired with vibrant resort amenities, whether visiting for ski season, summer lake adventures or a quick mountain escape.
