Make it part of a longer winter stay.

Spend the evening at the ballet, then return to Bluff’s Landing Hotel on the Laguna Madre. If you have weeks rather than a weekend in mind, explore the Winter Fishing Special.

Staying here

Why make this your base.

Make an evening of the ballet, then return to your room on the Laguna Madre. Tickets and venue parking are arranged separately from your hotel stay.

We are at 4226 Laguna Shores Road, at the end of a quiet coastal road in the Flour Bluff area. That puts you about 25 to 30 minutes from Selena Auditorium, Hilliard Center, Corpus Christi, with the Laguna Madre at the back door when the day is done.

Times, tickets, and programme on the official page

The organizer keeps the schedule. We list what they publish, so confirm the details with them before you travel.
