If you’re itching to swap your winter boots and gloves for flip-flops and sunscreen, you’re probably already thinking about where to go for spring break. Fortunately, there’s a slew of sunny destinations just waiting to be explored. Whether you prefer the entertaining attractions of San Diego, beach activities and endless dining options at an all-inclusive resort or family fun on the sands of Hawaii, ensuring all your travel needs are met is key to a successful stay. So, grab your sun hat and get ready to warm up on your next spring break vacation!

Family first

When you’re planning a family vacation in Hawaii that coincides with your birthday, you deserve an extra special stay. Just ask influencer Sovieti Sekona (@1pophany). Sekona shared her love for Hilton on TikTik and Hilton’s social media team was quick to let her know the feelings were mutual. They swooped in to show their appreciation for her loyalty by elevating her getaway to accommodate the whole family. Upon arrival at Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk, Sekona, her husband and their three kids were welcomed with special in-room treats and gifts to make their stay even more comfortable. Add in stunning ocean views, free cooked-to-order breakfast, daily evening receptions AND the convenience of being located within walking distance of the beach, and you have a truly memorable family vacation.

California Dreaming

After a long, cold winter, sometimes you just want to let loose. Where better to do so than in sunny San Diego? From beautiful beaches and bay views to exploring the renowned San Diego Zoo and historic Gaslamp Quarter, a stay in Southern California is guaranteed to make you feel like a winner. Settle into Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown and explore your surroundings at your own pace. Conveniently located near the city’s main attractions, you’re perfectly situated to experience San Diego’s best dining offerings (think fresh seafood and craft beer), shopping, nightlife and more. For a relaxed afternoon outdoors, head to Balboa Park’s expansive green spaces or visit the park’s museum, carousel and historic Cabrillo Bridge to soak in the stunning city views. Trust us, no matter who you’re traveling with, San Diego makes for the ultimate spring break vacation.

It’s all included

Let’s be honest, a trip that requires little-to-no planning is ideal. Which is why it doesn’t get better than a getaway at an all-inclusive resort. Wake up each morning feeling rested and ready to enjoy daily activities like beach volleyball or cooking classes, or venture on an excursion to immerse yourself in the local culture. Always hungry? Multiple dining options accommodate even the pickiest eaters while still providing adventurous foodies ample opportunity to discover new cuisines and flavors. Book at an adults-only all-inclusive resort to enjoy a grown-up getaway geared toward the over 21 crowd or indulge in fun for all ages at a family-friendly resort, complete with water parks, pools, splash pads, teens clubs and more. The best part? It’s all-included. So you can maximize relaxation and minimize the stress of planning.
