From yacht escapes to mountain retreats, the ultimate guide to spring break
Zippy
Sandler | February 27, 2026
If you’re thinking that spring break means a beach with 10 friends staying in one room, you’re probably a lot younger than me. I’m all grown up at 72 and spring break has officially grown up along with me. Somewhere between crowded pool decks, packed beach bars, and the idea that travel had to look one very specific way, something shifted. Travelers like us started asking a different question. Not Where is everyone going?” but What kind of escape do I actually need right now?”
And that change has made getting away a WHOLE LOT MORE EXCITING.
Today’s spring break can mean sailing aboard an intimate yacht instead of navigating crowds. It can mean hiking beneath snow-capped mountains, reconnecting without screens, tasting your way through wine country, or discovering an all-inclusive escape closer to home in the United States. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with friends, or across generations, the options are now deeply personal. These are designed around how you want to feel when you return home.
If you are ready to trade predictable vacations for experiences that truly reset your mindset, I’ve put together the ultimate guide to spring break. From yacht escapes to mountain retreats, and everything beautifully in between.
Escape From Your Device and Reconnect at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, MI
Saint John’s Resort offers the ultimate screen-free spring break, where connection replaces notifications. From learning a new game on Mahjong Mondays to tech-free Trivia Tuesdays, guests gather the old-fashioned way, around tables, in conversation, fully present. Dining becomes its own adventure across three distinct venues: sip beneath the vaulted ceilings of the Wine Grotto, savor a classic steakhouse experience at FIVE, or settle in for hearty pub fare and easy camaraderie at Doyles Irish Pub. Beyond the table, hundreds of art pieces and sculptures line the halls, historic architecture encourages discovery, and garden paths offer space for reflection. Saint John’s Resort is a reminder that some experiences are best enjoyed without a screen.

Five Destinations for a Culturally Rich Easter Getaway
Lux Exposé Editorial | February 25, 2026
Easter has a beautiful way of bringing people together - through faith, food, family traditions, and those small rituals that feel even more meaningful when experienced somewhere special. With April 5 just around the corner, this spring holiday offers the perfect excuse to travel somewhere that celebrates Easter not just as a date on the calendar, but as a living cultural experience.
From the vibrant streets of Guatemala to the serene landscapes of Iceland, these destinations invite travelers to step into traditions that have been passed down for generations - while staying somewhere that makes the celebration feel even more memorable.
Plymouth, Michigan: Meaningful Celebration at Saint John’s Resort
Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth offers an Easter celebration rooted in tradition, reflection, and community. Located on the historic grounds of a former Catholic seminary, the property carries a sense of quiet reverence that enhances the holiday experience.
The resort’s stunning Atrium, with soaring glass ceilings and abundant greenery, becomes the heart of the celebration. Natural light pours in, creating the feeling of a spring garden in full bloom. Guests gather for an Easter buffet crafted by the resort’s award-winning culinary team, while families enjoy photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny in a beautifully styled holiday setting.
Beyond the festivities, the property offers peaceful moments of reflection. Visitors can spend time in the chapel or take a tranquil walk across the campus. Beneath the chapel lies the Wine Grotto, a unique space with vaulted ceilings and historic details, including original holy water pipes and the former resting place of Cardinal Mooney. The setting connects the celebration to the property’s sacred history in a subtle yet meaningful way
In keeping with its mission, a portion of Easter event proceeds supports Humanitarian Hotels initiatives, extending the spirit of service beyond the holiday itself.

Here are 14 top romantic dining experiences in metro Detroit
Susan Selasky and Natalie Davies
Once the calendar flips to February, that means the day of celebrating romance, chocolates and making dinner reservations is near.
Yes, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and diners are on the hunt for romantic places.
An ideal romantic restaurant is up to interpretation. It can be all about the dining experience, or the ambience or the food and/or drinks.
Perhaps it’s about white tablecloth fine dining, dim lighting or cozy booths. Or maybe it's a neighborhood spot and favorite place to spend time with your sweetie.
If your plans include dining out with your special someone for Valentine’s Day, here’s a snapshot, though not comprehensive, of places to celebrate romance, from a historic former mansion to a basement space that was once a prayer room to a new spot for cocktails with upscale snacks. These are deemed special in different ways for a date or romantic night out and run the gamut from casual to fine dining. Many may also offer special menus just for Valentine’s Day.
Wine Grotto
This lower-level space at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth has dim lighting emits the sense of being in a secluded space away from all else. The underground space, a renovated former prayer area for seminarians, is cozy with its domed coves and restored arches and comfy dining areas. Nosh on flatbreads, shareables, charcuterie and cheese while enjoying wines.
