If you’re anything like me, you start craving a change of scenery around Easter. I’ve found that a well-timed Easter weekend getaway can bring just the right mix of renewal and relaxation. You’ll love these spots—they’re full of spring blooms, festive charm, and the kind of peaceful vibes that help you make sweet holiday memories.
Highlights I Think You’ll Love:
- I’ve stayed at a few charming countryside inns that host beautiful Easter brunches—you should absolutely treat yourself to one.
- You’ll enjoy wandering through spring gardens in historic towns. I always feel like I’ve stepped into a postcard.
- If you’re traveling with kids, you can’t go wrong with a family-friendly coastal escape. I’ve done it, and we all came back smiling.
- One year I took a scenic drive to catch wildflowers in bloom—it’s still one of my favorite Easter memories. You’ve got to try it.
- Sometimes, all you need is a quiet cabin in the mountains. I’ve found they’re perfect when you want to slow down and truly unwind.
