US spring break in 2027 runs across weeks from late February through mid-April depending on your school district. Pricing peaks during the specific two-to-three week window your region's break falls in. This guide picks eight spring break destinations ranging from party-forward to family-friendly to budget alternatives, with notes on which weeks to target.

Classic spring break destinations

Cancun and the Riviera Maya are the single most-visited US spring break destinations. Peak spring break weeks (second and third weeks of March in 2027) see 20 to 40 percent pricing jumps over February or early March. Mid-tier all-inclusives run $2,500 to $5,500 per person over peak weeks. Miami Beach is the US alternative at $1,500 to $4,000 per person for a week during peak spring break pricing.

Family-friendly spring break

Costa Rica, Hawaii's Maui, and Caribbean all-inclusives with kids clubs are the three strongest family spring break picks. Costa Rica: $2,000 to $5,000 per person per week during spring break; Maui: $2,500 to $6,000; Beaches Turks and Caicos (all-inclusive, family): $4,500 to $12,000 per person for a week over spring break.

Spring break escape to the sun without the crowds

Punta Cana and Jamaica Negril are quieter than Cancun during spring break despite similar weather. All-inclusives in both destinations run $1,900 to $4,500 per person for the full week during peak break pricing. Aruba is slightly more expensive but delivers the most reliable weather of any Caribbean destination; $2,500 to $5,000 per person for a spring break week.

The hardest spring break decision is which week your region's break falls in and whether to go that specific week or shift to adjacent dates. The week before or after your district's break often runs 20 to 30 percent cheaper for identical hotels. If kids are not school-constrained (families with young kids pre-K), avoid peak spring break weeks entirely for massive savings.
