HEAD FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF COAST ON 9 LAKE VACATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE

By  Stacey Lastoe

Travelers looking for a low-key, chill and serene destination will find lakeside
spots have all of the trappings of vacations on the water without all of the
fuss.

To be sure, we’re not suggesting that the beach vacation in the traditional
sense — oceanfront accommodations, breaking waves, inimitable sunsets — needs a
revamp, but we would like to broaden the definition of what constitutes a
coastal trip.

Oh, and did we mention that lakes tend to offer fewer crowds and more
budget-friendly accommodations and activities?

Read on for nine of the world’s best lake vacations and discover a fresh coast.

As always, check for travel restrictions and closures before planning your trip.


NAHUEL HUAPI LAKE; BARILOCHE, ARGENTINA

Bariloche, Argentina, is the gateway to the Patagonia region, and visitors
passing through on their way south will quickly see why the lakeside city has
become a destination in its own right.

It’s a toss-up whether this Argentinian city deserves more accolades for its
famed chocolate or its scenic setting with the backdrop of the Andes Mountains
offering wow-worthy views from every corner, but why not celebrate both?
Arelauquen Lodge, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, San Carlos de Bariloche makes for
the perfect home-away-from-home, stay.


LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA

Needing no introduction is Lake Tahoe, one of California’s most glorious places
to kick back and relax. And while everyone else is trying to find a respectable
patch of sand along the coast’s crowded beaches, you can take in the stunning
scenery of the Sierra Nevada Mountains via a hike on Mount Tallac Trail, after
which a swim and sunbathing at Lakeside Beach, less than a mile from Marriott’s
Timber Lodge, beckons.


OKANAGAN LAKE; KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA

One of North America’s hottest wine regions also just happens to reside around a
picturesque lake. More than 30 beaches pepper the lake’s periphery, inviting
sunbathers to park out on a slice of sandy shore.

Kelowna’s attributes may be more subtle than those of your average bustling
beach town, but the good vibes here are evident in everything from weekend
farmers markets to boat rentals at the marina. As far as lakes go, Okanagan gets
top marks for sunbathers and water-sports enthusiasts alike.


LAGO D’ORTA, ITALY

To be sure, visiting Italy is never frowned upon in normal times, but smart
travelers know the trimmings of an exquisite Italian vacation are best found in
the country’s less-popular destinations.

This means trading in the crowded Amalfi Coast for a dreamy lakeside, which Lago
d’Orta delivers effortlessly. The northern lake, with its crystal-clear waters
and Alpine backdrop, exudes romance, harkening back to a simpler time.


LAKE MICHIGAN’S LITTLE TRAVERSE BAY, MICHIGAN

Michigan isn’t a place vacationers flock to in winter, but the state shines in
the summer months, especially along Little Traverse Bay.

Plan to explore Harbor Springs; bursting with beauty, art and lush golf courses,
it makes for an excellent stop and allows you to soak up the laid-back lake
town’s myriad charms. In the nearby town of Petoskey, the waterfront is
well-trodden by cyclists, and Kilwins Chocolate Kitchen has ice cream for all.


DEAD SEA

Famous for a reason, the Dead Sea (which few realize is technically a salt
lake), bordered by Jordan and Israel, is still ripe for exploration.

Supposedly, its high salt and mineral content mean the Dead Sea has powerful
healing properties, and in any event, basing yourself near the natural wonder
(Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa‘s proximity can’t be beat) makes for a restful
and edifying escape.


LAKE GEORGE, NEW YORK

This family-friendly town in the Adirondacks is so easygoing and inviting you’ll
wonder why you waited so long to explore this particular stretch of New York
state’s “coastline.”

Favorite activities in Lake George range from fishing to whitewater rafting to
brunch in the Queen of American Lakes, a deservedly enduring nickname for the
idyllic town.


DAL LAKE; SRINAGAR, INDIA

Urban lakes are ideal for travelers who want to have their cake and eat it too.
This makes Dal Lake, situated in Srinagar (the summer capital of Jammu and
Kashmir), India, prime for vacationers who enjoy spectacular sunsets, floating
gardens and lush hikes.

Oh, and if you’ve never gone shopping while journeying around a lake, this is
your chance to scoop up fresh produce for snacking or a bouquet of colorful
flowers from floating vendor boats.


GOTO LAKE, BONAIRE

Now, know most travelers don’t select a Caribbean destination for its ocean
alternatives, which is why it may come as a surprise that Goto Lake on the Dutch
island of Bonaire is very much a worthy “other-coast” option, especially for
travelers eager to avoid teeming beaches and overcrowded resorts.

Visit the saltwater lagoon Goto, surrounded by lush green landscapes, at sunset
when bright-pink flamingos hang out, and you won’t regret it.
