Spring Break is a big deal for college students. Getting a post-secondary education can be incredibly stressful and a few days of blowing of steam can help. Thousands of students head out, sometimes to party really hard though Spring Break doesn't have to be about just that. There are even certain destinations associated with Spring Break that range from sunny beaches to snowy mountain skiing. But college students aren't the only one taking advantage of a shoulder season break.
March and April are the perfect travel time, sandwiched between winter and summer travel seasons. And adults could use a break at that time of year, as well. But no one is suggesting that adults go to college party destinations on Spring Break. That's why Conde Nast Traveler published a list of the top 25 destinations for an Adult Spring Break experience for you to try out this year.
The list is filled with locations in North, South, and Central America as well as a few Caribbean destinations. The Azores, an autonomous archipelago of islands that is part of Portugal, is on the list, as well. Keeping that in mind, the other biggest deviations from the Americas on the list would be Kyoto and Holland. There's nothing wrong with either destination as they are amazing places to visit.. They're also a little outside the general area of the vast majority of the recommendations.
What list list provides is the type of experiences adults are looking for at a time of year when they're done with winter and need a few days to themselves. If you want to go with friends, that can be a good option. But these are the kind of places you can spend that week by yourself and take some real time for yourself. And there shouldn't be any loud parties nearby. Hopefully.
