Spring break is a fantastic time for a romantic getaway, whether you have time for a quick weekend within commuting distance or dedicate a full week to a far-flung location.

“The period between the holidays and summer is difficult, especially in parts of the country where the weather may not be as pleasant as we would like,” says travel expert Lilian Rafson.

“It’s nice to have something to look forward to, even if it’s not a big vacation. This is an excellent method for partners to reconnect and recharge.”

Kid-friendly family vacations and college students partying all night link with spring break, couples can use the time for a romantic, adult-focused escape if they adjust their strategy.

“Put more emphasis on your accommodations,” travel expert Mary Cropper advises. “Make it more about high-end amenities and less about activities so you can enjoy the property and [spend] more time together.”

Los Olives, California

The tiny community in the center of Central California’s burgeoning wine area is ideal for a few days of swirling glasses and hopping from tasting room to tasting room.

(As an added benefit, they’re mostly all walking, so no DD is required!) Book a private cottage at the Inn at Mattei’s Tavern and a multi-course sampling menu at neighboring Los Alamos’ French-inspired, Michelin-rated Bell.

Tropical vacationers frequently choose the Bahamas and Caribbean islands for their beach getaways. This tiny Central American nation is easy to reach (just a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Houston!). It provides some snorkeling and scuba diving, at a reduced cost.

Swim with whale sharks at Turtle Inn, unwind in an overwater cottage on the opulent private island of Cayo Espanto, or plan a stay at Ka’ana Resort, which can commence with helicopter transport directly from the airport.
