5. SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO


Colonial Easter Experience Easter, or Semana Santa, is one of the most important holidays in


Mexico, and San Miguel celebrates with elaborate processions, candlelight vigils, and streets covered in flower petals. The city’s cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and baroque churches


make it feel like a living painting. Art galleries, rooftop bars, and hidden courtyards invite leisurely exploration. Where to stay. The Rosewood San Miguel de Allende offers a luxurious experience with a rooftop terrace that boasts the best views in town.


6. FLORIDA KEYS Laid-Back


Island Life A great choice for those


who love the water but prefer something more low-key than the flashier beaches of South Florida. Key West, the most


famous of the islands, offers stunning sunsets, live music, and a historic district filled with colorful conch houses and tropical gardens. Easter brings special events, from sunrise services at the beach to festive brunches with


seafood and Key lime pie. For a quieter escape,


head to Islamorada, known as the sport fishing capital of the world. Where to stay. Cheeca


Lodge & Spa offers oceanfront luxury, an on-site golf course, and some of the best seafood in the region. For a more budget-


conscious option, consider the Islander Resort, which provides a family-friendly atmosphere, beachside pools, and easy access to Islamorada’s fishing and water activities.


7. BIG ISLAND, HAWAII Stunning


Pacific Escape For a Pacific getaway that


isn’t Maui, consider the Big Island of Hawaii. Its striking landscapes range from black sand beaches to lush rainforests to an active volcano that occasionally sends lava flowing toward the sea. Spring is an excellent time


to visit, as the temperatures are warm but not yet humid, and the whale-watching season lingers through April. Where to stay. For a


family-friendly Easter retreat, stay at The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, which offers spacious accommodations, a relaxed atmosphere, and a prime location on one of the island’s best white sand beaches. Grandkids can enjoy the on-site activities while adults take advantage of the scenic golf course or unwind at the full-service spa. With oceanfront villas,


infinity pools, and world- class dining, this resort offers an unforgettable island experience for guests of all ages.
