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.

Recognized with a Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award, the dining and wellness here are hard to beat. Ovide highlights Gulf Coast flavors with elevated dishes, while Spa Lilliana offers facials, scrubs, and massages worth lingering over. And if you venture out, the emerald water and white sand of Miramar Beach do the rest.

Adults-only energy, incoming. XELA Tulum is a tiny beachfront escape with just 12 coastal-chic suites, so peace and quiet come standard. Expect fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes at the beach club and Izakaya, plus serious relaxation at La Valise Spa — think herbal soaks, hot stone massages, and rooftop jungle-and-sea views.
