Family travelers all over are participating in skip-gen vacations, a big 2024 travel trend. Skip-gen vacations are when grandparents take their grandchildren on a trip without their parents. With a rise in this trend, Delta Vacations put together a list of recommended destinations based on locations and amenities ideal for grandparents and grandkids.

Grandparents can relax at the hotel’s on-site spa, check out the fitness center or hit the casino while the kids play at the splash pad, float down the lazy river and play a round of miniature golf. Reunite at dinner for a delicious family meal at one of the resort’s 11 restaurant options.
