This summer, The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas transforms into a refined yet playful escape with its “Season of Play,” a thoughtfully curated lineup designed for both families and adults. Running from Memorial Day weekend through August 9, 2026, the resort offers a mix of relaxation and activity that makes it ideal for a vacation, staycation, or even a quick daycation in the heart of Las Colinas.
The property leans into a modern Texas sensibility while delivering a full calendar of seasonal programming. Younger guests can expect shaved ice socials, scavenger hunts, bubble parties, and family movie nights under the stars. Adults, meanwhile, can ease into summer with poolside mat Pilates, hands-on cocktail experiences, afternoon tea, and social gaming events that balance leisure with a bit of energy.
For those looking to fully settle in, an overnight stay offers the most complete experience. The Villa Inner Circle Experience is especially well-suited for families, with spacious accommodations that include a private patio and plush daybed for easy relaxation. The package comes with a seasonal welcome amenity, daily turndown service, 20% off on-property dining, and a $100 daily resort credit. A dedicated Villa Concierge handles pre-arrival planning and coordinates everything from dining reservations to personalized itineraries, ensuring a seamless and highly tailored stay.
Local guests can still take advantage of the resort’s standout amenities without booking a room. Weekday Daycation Pool Passes are available through ResortPass and include Wi-Fi and self-parking, with food and beverage service offered by Aire Libre, the poolside restaurant introducing a new summer menu. For a more private experience, cabana rentals provide a shaded retreat complete with a stocked mini refrigerator, fruit platter, chilled oshibori towels, sunscreen, HDTV, and secure storage. New Celebratory Cabanas add an extra layer of festivity with balloons, a celebration cake, and a bottle of Champagne, making them a strong option for birthdays or anniversaries.
The summer programming runs throughout the season, with most activities centered on Saturdays and select holiday weekends. Guests can cool off at the Sunbreak Shaved Ice Bar, settle in for Twilight Cinema family movie nights featuring films like Toy Story and Elemental, or start the day with complimentary poolside mat Pilates followed by fresh juices. Kids can join the Ritz Kids scavenger hunt for guided adventures filled with puzzles and crafts, while adults can opt into the Bright Spirits cocktail experience or enjoy a garden-inspired afternoon tea with seasonal pastries and floral notes. Additional offerings include foam-filled bubble parties, Build-A-Buddy workshops for younger guests, mahjong sessions for both kids and adults, watercolor painting classes, and even floating mahjong rentals for poolside play.
Throughout the summer, retail activations will pop up on peak weekends, offering curated fashion, accessories, and gifting options. Guests can also take advantage of on-site embroidery during select holiday periods, while seasonal brands like Printfresh bring colorful apparel and accessories into the mix.
Whether you’re planning a full getaway or just a day by the pool, The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas delivers a polished, activity-rich summer experience that blends relaxation with thoughtful programming. With options that appeal to both families and adults, it stands out as one of the more comprehensive luxury resort offerings in North Texas this season.
