If your calendar says “meetings,” but your soul says “mountains,” this work travel in Colorado Springs plan is your blueprint. Base yourself at Garden of the Gods Resort and Club and follow this work trip itinerary to balance work and relaxation. You’ll power through priorities in serene spaces, then reward your productivity with memorable food, holistic wellness, and fresh-air play. Keep reading for the perfect plan for work + vacation in Colorado Springs.

Day 1: Settle In, Set Intentions, and Savor the View

Arrive and check in, then open your balcony door and let that red-rock skyline quiet the inbox static. Unpack, plug in, and sketch tomorrow’s to-dos while sunlight fades over Pikes Peak. 

When it’s time for dinner, take a front row seat to the mountains at Grand View Restaurant. With refined plates, and an award-winning wine list, it’s the kind of setting that makes even a working meal feel celebratory. Cap night one with a tasting flight at the bar or a nightcap at Rocks Lounge. You’re here for a business getaway to Colorado Springs, so let the destination set a higher standard.

Day 2: Peak Productivity, Then Play

Kick off the morning with a focused workout or mobility session at Strata Fit. Grab a nourishing breakfast at Grand View, then dive into deep work from your balcony or a quiet lounge nook. Let the calm, light-filled environment turn concentration into inspiration.

Keep momentum with a working lunch at KC Grille beside the golf fairways, where casual favorites and non-alcoholic options help you stay sharp for an afternoon push.

After work is done, trade keystrokes for recovery at Strata Spa. An athletic recovery massage resets tight shoulders and travel-tired legs , and a steam, sauna, or salt room session adds the exhale you didn’t know you needed. Close the day on the Rocks patio as the sun slips behind the formations. This is corporate travel in Colorado Springs done right.

Day 3: Light Work, Easy Wins, Elegant Finale

Ease into your final morning with breakfast in your room and a short mindfulness break on the balcony. Wrap up outstanding tasks while the mountains do their quiet magic, then enjoy a relaxed lunch back at KC Grille or poolside. If your schedule allows, return to Strata for an express holistic wellness service before packing. Finish your hybrid “work + play” stint with one last, unhurried meal at Grand View, already plotting the next business getaway to Colorado Springs.

Why This Work/Play Itinerary Works

The schedule honors your priorities. Scenic spaces reduce stress load, premium dining keeps energy steady, and pro-level recovery at Strata ensures you return home sharper than you arrived. In other words, this isn’t just work travel in Colorado Springs. Instead, it’s a sustainable model for how to balance work and relaxation anywhere.

Ready to Book Your Work + Vacation?

Reserve your room with a view, secure spa and fitness times, and add tee times or dinner reservations in a couple of clicks. When you treat focus and restoration as partners, a work + vacation in Colorado Springs stops being a compromise and starts feeling like your new standard.

Day 1: Arrive, Unwind, and Reset 

solo travel in Colorado Springs

Check in, step onto your balcony, and let the red-rock skyline slow your breathing. Take in the view and soak up the peace that kicks off your self-care trip to Colorado Springs. Slip into a robe, draw a warm bath, and brew a calming tea to shake off the travel day.

When you’re ready for dinner, choose from a fireside cocktail and small plates at Rocks Lounge, or enjoy a mountain-modern meal at Grand View (browse all options under Food & Drink).

Back in your room, wind down with in-room dining, cue a playlist, and watch the sun fade to starlight from your balcony. Tonight is all about rest, so tomorrow can be all about adventure.

Day 2: Move, Explore, and Treat Yourself

Grand View at Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs

Greet the day with a guided class at Strata Fit. Whether you pick strength, mobility, or yoga, thoughtful instruction makes it approachable, perfect for a solo vacation in Colorado Springs. After class, fuel up with fresh juice and coffee, then linger over breakfast with front-row vistas at Grand View.

With energy to spare, head into the park for gentle exploration. Garden of the Gods’ wide, well-marked paths make it ideal for things to do solo in Colorado Springs. These trails are easy to navigate, endlessly photogenic, and stunning at every turn. 

Return midday and claim a lounger at the Infinity Pool. Order lunch to your chair and alternate sunshine with a quick swim. When afternoon melts into evening, book time at Strata Spa for a therapeutic massage or a glow-boosting facial, exactly the kind of solo treat that turns a getaway into a reset. If the sky stays clear, wander back to the Rocks Patio for a mocktail or cocktail as the sun drops behind Pikes Peak.

Day 3: Leisurely Morning, Learn Something New, One Last View

Pickleball at Garden of the Gods Colorado Springs

Savor an unhurried breakfast at Grand View, then lean into a new skill or sport — because solo is the best time to try it! Join a pickleball clinic or open play at the resort’s recreation areas, meet fellow travelers courtside, and enjoy the social, low-pressure pace. 

Prefer quiet time? Trade the court for a second coffee on the terrace and a chapter of your book. Before you pack, take a final soak or stroll. It’s those last minutes of altitude air and red-rock color seal in the sense of calm you came for.

How This Solo Plan Works

The cadence is intentional: Day 1 restores, Day 2 expands, Day 3 refines. You’ll balance movement and stillness, social moments and solitude, scenic exploration and spa-level care. These are the hallmarks of unforgettable solo travel in Colorado Springs. With most essentials on property and the park minutes away, logistics fade into the background so presence can take the lead.

Dreaming of a romantic getaway in Colorado Springs where every moment feels perfect? This three-day plan blends slow sunrises, scenic adventures, and candlelit dining. Use the links at the end of this article to reserve classes, spa time, and dinners so your romantic weekend in Colorado Springs is absolutely unforgettable.

Day 1: Sunset Toasts & Starlit S’mores

Arrive in the late afternoon and step onto your balcony—the red rocks glow while Pikes Peak provides the backdrop. Ease into vacation mode with a cocktail hour at Rocks Lounge, then wander back to your patio or lodge balcony for s’mores and sky-full-of-stars conversation. It’s an easy, intimate start that sets the tone for the next two days of Colorado Springs romantic activities.

Day 2: Sunrise Rituals, Spa Bliss, & Poolside Evenings

Wake early for coffee together on the balcony and watch the first light splash across Garden of the Gods. Join a morning yoga class. If you’re planning something extra special, inquire about private yoga on the mesa for a breathtaking shared experience. Afterward, linger over breakfast at the Grand View Dining Room with those floor-to-ceiling vistas.

Late morning is perfect for an easy hike inside the park. Stop by the Visitor & Nature Center for a map and water, and capture a few photos you’ll frame later. Return for an afternoon couples massage at Strata Spa, where expert therapists tailor each service for deep relaxation and reconnection. 

Float between the Infinity Pool and your lounger as the sun dips; and when hunger calls, order a Garden of the Gods pizza to your cabana or room and keep the evening blissfully low-key. 

These are the simple, unhurried things to do for couples in Colorado Springs that make memories last.

Day 3: Sleep In, Breakfast in Bed & One Last Grand Finale

Sleep a little later and place your door-tag order the night before so breakfast in bed arrives right on time and enjoy the fresh coffee, warm pastries, and nothing on the agenda except each other. 

If you’re golfers, reserve a midday round on the 27-hole Kissing Camels course and trade friendly wagers between fairways and mountain views. 

Prefer a slower pace? Return to the pool, book a light recovery stretch at, or browse the Local Attractions guide for an impromptu scenic drive. 

As evening arrives, dress up for your last-night dinner at Grand View — an elegant close to a perfectly curated romantic weekend in Colorado Springs.

Customize Your Romantic Escape

Every couple travels differently, which is why this plan is meant only to be an example of what a romantic weekend at Garden of the Gods can look like. Swap a morning class for an e-bike ride, trade the hike for a guided photography stroll, or add a wine-paired dinner to celebrate something big. 

If you love packaged ease, ask about a romantic escape package where our team can bundle favorite touches like sparkling arrivals, late checkout, spa credits, or private fitness sessions so your couples itinerary in Colorado Springs feels uniquely yours.
