Ah, winters in Avalon, an idyllic time to slip into the peaceful pace of island time. The crowds have cleared, the sunshine is still beaming, and the same picturesque adventure awaits. Yes, this magical season on Catalina Island is not to be discounted – unless, of course, you’re talking about savings. The allure of the off-season also enchants with the chance to score special room rates and transportation to this coveted SoCal retreat.
The Go & Play Winter Weekday Getaway, available for booking November 7, 2022 through March 17, 2023, offers the opportunity to pivot from the monotony of your normal Sunday-Thursday schedule and dip your toes into island life. This all-encompassing package includes two round-trip tickets aboard the Catalina Express and taxi service to and from Bellanca Hotel, your boutique, oceanfront stay. Now that we’ve got you hooked (and almost booked), let’s paint a picture of what’s in store.

TRAVEL IN STYLE
Hop aboard the Catalina Express departing from Long Beach or Dana Point ports. This just under 90-minute captained cruise allows you to sit back and relax as you journey to the nearby island. The crew invites you to grab a cocktail before heading up to the top deck to enjoy the vast oceans views and, if you’re lucky, the magic of seeing a pod of dolphins gracefully swimming by you. And if you’re even more fortunate you’ll see a whale, a sight most often seen in these special winter months.

A CHIC, OCEANFRONT OASIS
The recently remodeled Bellanca Hotel, situated just footsteps from the sand, awaits you with a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, another perk of the package. Giving off Grecian vibes with its all-white façade and blue details, this luxe accommodation has everything you need to sink into vacation mode. Its modern rooms offer memory foam mattresses and the option of quaint courtyard views or awe-worthy views of the sea. High above the rooms lies the hotel’s private sun deck, the perfect place to lounge while marveling at the sailboats swaying in the harbor and the mountain-scapes surrounding you. And if you get hungry, no need to travel far. Simply walk downstairs to The Naughty Fox and dig into a locale-inspired menu featuring favorites like the Ahi Poke Nachos and Lobster BLT. And don’t forget to wash it all down with a Buffalo Milk, the island’s famous cocktail.

GET OUT & PLAY
When it’s time to explore, your options are plenty. For the spirited adventurer, the island invites you to strap into a zip line or scuba dive the depths of the cove. For a more chill-worthy activity, kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent while the Trans Catalina hiking trail provides sweeping views from its highest peak. Golf carts provide the quickest way to conquer all the sights of Avalon, but if you’re interested in slowing down the pace, beach cruisers are complimentary during your stay at Bellanca.
