Before the kids head back to school in the fall, there is still time for one last family trip. Here are four destinations and hotels for a last-minute family getaway.
Orlando, Florida
Can’t decide between beach vacation or visit to a theme park? Evermore Resort, right next to Walt Disney World, offers the perfect destination for both. With bookings available from two- to 11-bedroom properties, the resort has enough room for families of all sizes. The complex also has Evermore Bay, a beautiful lagoon with 8 acres of crystal-clear water, where guests will feel like they are on a tropical getaway lounging on white sandy beaches surrounding the bay.
Located on the same property as Evermore, Conrad Orlando shares the same amenities and restaurants, so guests staying at both resorts can enjoy it all. Sit down for dinner at Ceiba for sophisticated regional Mexican cuisine on a rooftop, or head to Sophia’s Trattoria for laidback, waterside Italian. Send kids to the Kids Club with ever-changing programming and lessons on Florida’s rich biodiversity, while adults lounge on the beach or have drinks at Papaya Club.
Destin-Fort Walton, Beach
Enjoy the picturesque white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters in Destin-Fort Walton Beach before heading back to school. This destination invites families to experience everything, whether fishing on the pier, riding a trimaran to see dolphins and sea turtles, or sailing in the Gulf. Families looking for a budget-friendly stay can book rooms at newly opened Beal House Fort Walton Beachfront Hotel, which overlooks the Gulf.
Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina
Head to Montage Palmetto Bluff before the end of summer to experience the Low Country. Dive into poolside entertainment, window shop at the Anny Stern Trunk Show, and enjoy culinary delights like Southern Supper & Oyster Roast.
Boston, Massachusetts
With a variety of activities for all ages, Boston, Massachusetts, provides a warm-weather escape for every member of the family. Explore world-class institutions like Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Ballet.
The Dagny Boston, in the heart of the city, is the perfect choice for families looking to stay close to all the action. Travelers will be just a short walk away from The Boston Children’s Museum, The Museum of Science and live shows. This summer, the hotel offers The Family Aquarium package, which includes four V.I.P. tickets to Boston Aquarium, four tickets to Rose Kennedy Greenway Carousel and a complimentary sweet treat upon arrival.
