Discover the Joys of Off-Season Travel with Coast Hotels

12/09/2023

As the crisp breeze sweeps through, and the summer crowds disperse, autumn emerges as a splendid season for retirees and seniors to embark on their travels. While the warmer months are typically the peak travel season, there are numerous compelling reasons to consider packing your bags and hitting the road (or the sky!) during the off-season. In this blog, we'll explore the many perks of off-season travel and how Coast Hotels can elevate your autumn adventure.

Serene Escapes with Fewer Crowds

One of the standout advantages of off-season travel is the tranquility it brings. From Revelstoke in Canada to Waimea on Kauai in the United States, places that are typically alive with tourists in the summer transform into peaceful havens. So whether you’re exploring the mountains or taking in scenic ocean views, you can enjoy it without the hustle and bustle of the crowds!

Enhanced Savings

Traveling off-season often means significant cost savings. The cost of accommodations and attractions is generally lower and seniors can reap even more benefits by taking advantage of special rates! Many of our Coast Hotels properties offer special senior discounts, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy a luxurious stay at an even more affordable rate. This leaves you with more money to spend on memorable experiences at your destination.

Mild Weather and Spectacular Scenery

Fall brings mild and comfortable weather to many destinations, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities. Whether you're exploring the vibrant fall foliage, embarking on leisurely hikes, or viewing wildlife, the pleasant temperatures allow for enjoyable adventures. Consider visiting a place like Nanaimo, Parksville, Campbell River and Victoria, all located on Vancouver Island. Here, the weather is still very comfortable, allowing you to go whale watching and beachcombing, embark on spectacular hikes, and continue enjoying your travel experiences all year!

Unique Events

Many destinations host special events and festivals this time of year. From cultural celebrations to culinary festivals you can’t miss, there’s a lot to discover! For instance, consider a trip to the Pacific Northwest and attend the Victoria International Wine Festival in British Columbia, happening from September 24 - 30, 2023.  You can savor local wines and artisanal cheeses, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere, all while enjoying your stay at Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APA in the heart of the action. Or, explore beautiful Santa Barbara and enjoy the Harbor & Seafood Festival. Timed to make local fisheries a cornerstone of the event, this annual festival showcases fresh, regional seafood in addition to live music, maritime education, free boat rides, children's activities, vessel tours and more!
