Slow Mom Summer: Family Getaways Designed for Doing Less

This summer’s biggest lifestyle trend: doing less. That mindset applies to family travel, too, with Slow Mom Summer emerging online. Moms are rejecting overscheduled itineraries and high-pressure vacations while seeking out slower, more intentional experiences.

Here’s some inspo for a Slow Mom Summer escape:

Treasure Beach Village

Opened March 1 on Grace Bay Beach, Beaches Turks and Caicos’ brand-new Treasure Beach Village marks the brand’s first-ever all-suite village, purpose-built with larger families in mind. The 101 multibedroom suites and villas feature more than 2,600 square feet of living space and room for up to 10 guests. Amenities include a 15,000-square-foot pool, Starfish Cinema, six new dining concepts, complimentary Kids Camps and endless included activities.

The Meadows on Rock Creek

A nature-forward escape can be found in Western Montana at The Meadows on Rock Creek, a luxury all-inclusive guest ranch on 2,000 acres. Ten private cabins overlook 1.8 miles of Rock Creek. The rate covers three ranch-inspired gourmet meals per day; beer and wine; and activities like horseback riding, fly fishing, archery and sapphire mining.
