1. Spring
Break
for
Grownups
Plan
a
warm-‐weather
getaway
that’s
more
sophis4cated
than
wild.
2. When
you
picture
spring
breakers,
you
probably
imagine
20-‐
somethings
crashing
in
crowded
hotel
rooms
a?er
a
long
day
of
partying
at
beaches
and
bars.
Whether
this
par4cular
image
evokes
a
shudder
or
a
smile,
most
adults
can
agree
that
a
sun-‐drenched
adventure
should
not
be
the
exclusive
realm
of
the
young.
It’s
4me
to
reclaim
spring
break,
without
enduring
the
college
crowds.
(Plus,
as
adults,
we
can
treat
ourselves
to
nicer
restaurants
and
hotels.)
Here’s
our
guide
for
a
spring
break
getaway
for
the
young
at
heart.
3. You
may
not
be
interested
in
all-‐night
dance
par4es,
but
that
doesn’t
mean
you
can’t
savor
a
sense
of
adventure.
Skip
the
clubs
but
take
dance
lessons
instead.
If
that’s
not
your
taste,
sign
up
for
a
watery
adventure,
whether
it’s
chartering
a
boat,
cruising
in
a
sea
kayak
or
scuba
diving
in
a
reef.
Expedi4ons
for
landlubbers
include
hikes
and
bike
rides
through
scenic
landscapes.

Your
Wild
Side
4. When
it
comes
to
crowds,
it’s
best
to
beware
the
ides
of
March.
Early
to
mid-‐March
is
the
prime
4me
for
college
co-‐eds
to
fill
the
beaches
while
schools
are
closed.
Skipping
the
high
season
will
give
you
a
trifecta
of
benefits:
smaller
crowds,
beMer
availability
and
lower
costs.
April
and
February
(with
the
excep4on
of
President’s
Day
weekend)
will
likely
be
a
much
beMer
bet.
Avoid
March
5. Notoriously
wild
spring
break
des4na4ons
include
Cancun,
South
Padre
Island,
Miami,
Key
West
and
Cabo.
And
during
spring
break
season,
the
seemingly
ubiquitous
culture
of
bikini
contests
and
frozen
drinks
can
seem
to
eclipse
everything
else
an
otherwise
en4cing
des4na4on
may
have
to
offer.
Save
these
spots
for
another
season,
and
instead
choose
a
warm-‐weather
loca4on
that
aMracts
a
more,
ahem,
sophis4cated
visitor.

6. Our
recommenda4on?
The
Caribbean.
Aruba
boasts
more
than
200
restaurants
of
surprisingly
varied
cuisine,
plenty
of
adult-‐only
hotels,
and,
of
course,
stunning
beaches
that
are
especially
good
for
exci4ng
high-‐octane
ac4vi4es
like
windsurfing.
The
Cayman
Islands
(Grand
Cayman,
Cayman
Brac
and
LiMle
Cayman)
offer
both
peaceful
nature
reserves
and
lively
modern
resorts,
not
to
men4on
strikingly
blue
waters
lined
with
so?
white
sand.
And
finally,
the
U.S.
Virgin
Islands
(St.
Thomas,
St.
John
and
St.
Croix)
is
a
world-‐
class
des4na4on
for
snorkeling
and
sailing
in
crystal
clear
waters.
Choose
St.
Croix
for
a
sense
of
quiet
escape,
St.
Thomas
for
gourmet
restaurants
and
luxe
shopping,
and
St.
John
for
hiking
and
kayaking.
