July 2025 Newsletter
It may feel early, but now is the perfect time to start planning your Spring Break 2026 getaway. Resorts in top destinations like Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe are already taking bookings—and the best rooms, flights, and rates tend to go fast, especially during school vacation weeks. If you’re dreaming of sun, sand, or a family-friendly adventure, early planning gives you the best chance at securing your ideal trip.
If you’re ready to start planning your Spring Break escape, here are a few destinations that are perfect for couples, families, and friend groups and booking early helps ensure the best availability and pricing:
Riviera Maya & Cancun, Mexico
With a wide range of all-inclusive resorts, white-sand beaches, and family-friendly excursions like cenote swims and Mayan ruins, this area is a classic for a reason. There are options for every travel style from luxury adults-only to action-packed family resorts.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Known for its sprawling resorts and swaying palm-lined shores, Punta Cana is great for travelers who want plenty of amenities, stunning beaches, and an excellent value for all-inclusive stays.
Aruba
Perfect for travelers seeking a sunny island with fantastic dining, boutique resorts, and consistent weather. Aruba is ideal for both families and couples, and offers plenty of activities beyond the beach from snorkeling to jeep tours.
Italy or Spain (for longer international breaks)
If you’re looking to turn Spring Break into a European adventure, cities like Rome, Florence, Barcelona, or Seville offer amazing culture, food, and history especially during the less-crowded spring season.
Spring Break may be months away, but the sooner we start planning, the more choices you’ll have and the less stress you’ll feel when it’s time to pack your bags. Let’s start crafting your Spring 2026 escape now!
I host a few Travel with Anne groups each year where my clients get to join me (and usually Tim) on an adventure. Travel with Anne groups are thoughtfully planned designed to offer unforgettable experiences around the world with the comfort and convenience of having me along with you. Sometimes I have been to these destinations in the past and sometimes they are new experiences for me too. These trips are often the highlight of my travel year.
Each journey includes curated sightseeing, quality accommodations, and time to explore on your own, all while traveling with like-minded individuals. I have lots of repeat Travel with Anne guests. My past groups have been to the Galapagos, Iceland, Netherlands/Belgium, Brazil/Argentina, Mediterranean, and most recently Scotland.
I’m always looking ahead, and I’d love to hear your ideas for 2027. Where would you like the next Travel with Anne group to go? Let me know your dream destination.
Destination Highlight: Antigua and Barbuda – Caribbean Bliss Awaits
Antigua and Barbuda offer a picture-perfect escape with turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and a laid-back island vibe that’s hard to resist. Antigua is famous for its 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, along with historic sites like Nelson’s Dockyard and panoramic views from Shirley Heights. Whether you are seeking luxury at an all-inclusive resort, a romantic beachfront villa, or a sailing adventure through calm Caribbean waters, Antigua delivers a memorable experience. Just a short boat ride away, Barbuda offers a quieter, untouched atmosphere with pink sand beaches and an extraordinary frigate bird sanctuary for nature lovers.
The islands are equally rich in culture, with colorful festivals, lively music, and flavorful cuisine influenced by African, British, and West Indian roots. From fresh seafood and jerk-spiced dishes to sunset cocktails on the beach, the local dining scene is as warm and inviting as the people. Antigua and Barbuda are perfect for honeymooners, families, and anyone craving sun, sea, and serenity. With convenient flight options and a wide range of accommodations, Antigua and Barbuda make an unforgettable tropical escape.
