From trips away with the kids in March to family vacations in May, we’ve picked our top family spring break vacations for you to experience, whether it’s with the toddlers, teenagers, adults or grandparents (or all of them).
Scroll down for our top spring break destinations, perfect for the whole family. Alternatively, browse all of our luxury family vacations.
The start of spring break depends on your region and state – most schools will break for summer vacation in March and April, with classes resuming after a week. We recommend checking the exact dates with your children’s school before booking.
Spring break typically lasts for a week depending on the school, region, and state – leaving nine days for a spring family vacation to remember. We like to try and book our flights on the Friday night to make the most of our vacation days. Of course, if you have children too old or young for school, make the most of March, April and May and get away whenever you like in the spring!
We don’t do cookie-cutter vacations, we prefer everything to be completely customisable. Our Travel Experts know your family vacation should be as unique as you are. And that’s because we’re families ourselves. So, think of our spring break itineraries as a starting point, the first line on the page of your next great adventure.
All of the destinations we’ve highlighted on this page are ideal for each of the months of spring. However, if you’re looking at May specifically, it’s an ideal time to visit Japan with its warmer weather when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. For somewhere a little closer to home, Canada is another of our favorite destinations for family vacations in May. During spring, over 30 different whale species traverse the waters around Canada, marking the beginning of the prime whale watching season in the country.
