Everyone wants to have a relaxing, fun spring break. You’re off from school, you have some freedom, you want to get away! Sometimes, though, your wallet disagrees. Here’s some destinations you can plan a vacation to without breaking the bank!
Abroad:
1. Punta Cana
The Dominican Republic is slowly on the rise to become the new Panama City and Cancun of Spring Breaks. While it may still be growing into the nightlife and bars of those classic locations, it has some of the most affordable all-inclusive beach resorts, so you can get the entire experience all in one! Check out this link from TripAdvisor for some affordable resorts.
2. Cancun
This is the hot spot for all spring breakers. MTV’s Spring Break Headquarters is located here and it has been the number one spring break getaway for years. During the day, it’s a vibrant city of sun, beach, and culture, and the night brings on clubs, bars, dancing, and fun! If you’re looking for that classic spring break feel, this is the place for you. Here’s a link to some affordable beach resorts. And here’s a link for some cheaper Cancun hotels.
3. Camino de Santiago
This trip is really off the beaten path and very different from your #basic spring breaks. This is a long hike through northern Spain with hostels and restaurants all along the way. If you love the outdoors and are looking for an adventurous way to spend your break, this might be the trip for you! For more information, click here.
4. Coast Blackcomb Suites at Whistler
If your idea of spring break doesn’t exactly include hot beaches and busy nightlife, but more along the lines of a woodsy, wintery escape, this ski resort might be the one for you. With complimentary breakfast, cozy suites, and slope-side jacuzzis, the cold-weather paradise is perfect for your ski bunny fix. Here’s a link for more info.
