The Best Beach Vacations To Book For Your Family — Or Just For Yourself

In case you were looking for permission to take a vacation without your kids, this is it. Cities and countryside escapes have their place, but nothing cures the "I need a minute" feeling quite like a beach trip — especially when there's a great hotel waiting for you.

Twin Fin Hotel is a great place to start. See the best of Waikiki Beach from stylish rooms and suites that still feel comfortable and easy. Dining options include The Coconut Club, Sunrise Shack, and Tiki's Grill & Bar, while days can be spent poolside, listening to live music, or borrowing a surfboard (or flamingo floatie) from Beach Candy. You can book a lesson with world-class surf instructors, try beach yoga, or catch a stargazing event — all without leaving the property.
