Top Destinations During School Vacations

School’s out and it’s time for a family vacation. Now the kids are off for an entire week, it's time to leave town for a few days for a fun spring break vacation. The question is: where? The best spring break trips for families are the ones that suit everyone’s requirements and budget so consider fun, sun, adventure, sports, low-key…….so many choices. 

Florida Keys, FL

A family vacation in the Florida Keys is a good idea any time of the year but an escape to these cays and islands strung off the tip of Florida can feel like a real departure from the mainland spring break scene. Whether you base in Key Largo, Key West, or one of many islands in between, family activities abound. At The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, the kids can learn about and see sea turtles being rehabbed. Bahia Honda State Park has some of the best waterfront tent sites for camping in the entire state and runs snorkeling tours to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, home to some of the prettiest and best-preserved reefs in the Keys. When you want to give your legs a rest, don’t forget a trolley tour through the pretty streets of Key West when it’s time to take a break. 



Dominica, Caribbean

For a real Caribbean adventure with the family, far from the spring break and mass tourism crowds, consider Dominica. The English-speaking volcanic island rises between the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Lesser Antilles and is reached from the U.S. via quick hops from Barbados and St. Martin. Batibou Beach on the island’s Atlantic coast is the best beach but this is an island where you’ll likely have more fun rafting down the Indian River, chasing waterfalls and hiking through the lush rainforest and jungle that drapes the entire island. 


Mayakoba, Mexico

It’s along the spring break target of the Riviera Maya but nestled away in a little world all its own, the gated community of Mayakoba, 45 minutes south of Cancun’s International Airport, lives up to the meaning of its name: village of water. A network of canals connects several properties earning Mayakoba its tagline as the “Venice of the Caribbean.” Surrounded by nature, the luxury resorts here put cenotes, freshwater lagoons and beautiful beaches at your doorstep in an area where preserving the natural habitat figured large during development. Deciding where to stay among the handful of exclusive properties that include the Andaz Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Fairmont Mayakoba and Rosewood Mayakoba, might be your biggest challenge.
