Spring is the perfect time to embark on family travel. With the warmer months heading our way, now is the perfect time to book a family getaway for May. While brainstorming destinations, keep these domestic and international travel destinations in mind.

 

Richmond, Virginia

This May, The Virginia Museum of History and Culture will debut its brand-new renovation with a grand opening May 14. Extend your vacation and stick around for Riverrock May 20–22. Spend time in the great outdoors with trail runs, live music and group installation projects. Throughout the month, The Valentine Museum and Reclaiming the Monumentcollaborate to shed light on historical, racial and social justice issues in Richmond through a series of temporary light-based artwork.

 

Atlanta, Georgia

One reason to visit Atlanta this May is to stay at the brand-new Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta. The hotel was inspired by both Georgia’s historical pottery heritage and Buckhead’s more modern designation as a fashion destination. May is also when The Atlanta Jazz Festival, one of the largest free jazz events in the United States, takes place. May 28–30, head to Piedmont Park for a weekend of jazz.

 

Maui, Hawai’i

With May the last month visitors can see whales during the current whale watching season, there is no better time to visit the island. Guests can book a tour with PacWhale Eco-Adventures, where proceeds will benefit the non-profit Pacific Whale Foundation’s ocean conservation efforts. During your trip, stay at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa. The property offers a range of experiences appealingl to every type of traveler. Make sure to check out the wildlife encounters and authentic award-winning Hawai’ian lu’au.

 

Aruba

This May, Aruba hosts the ARUBA Soul Beach Music Festival 2022, May 25–30, at Harbor Square Arena. Headliners include The Roots and Mariah Carey, as well as a variety of beach parties during the day. Guests planning to attend the festival should stay at Hyatt Regency Aruba, a convenient eight-minute drive from the arena. This recently renovated property offers adults-only pools, a spa, a new Regency Club and Master Mixology classes.
