Spring is the ultimate sweet spot for travel. The weather is deliciously perfect — whether you’re chasing that low-humidity sunshine in Cancun, strolling the blossom-strewn Champs-Elysees in Paris or catching the last of the snow in Utah — and you get all the perks of a beautiful season without the sky-high prices and swarming crowds. Plus, some of this year’s most exciting new hotels are finally opening their doors, meaning this spring break (even if it’s last minute) could be your best yet.

From beachfront all-inclusive resorts to city hideaways and even an ecolodge deep in the jungle, here are the best places to check in to this spring. And because we love a good deal, we’ve got the scoop on how to book many of these properties using points, so you can save your cash for more important things (like cocktails with a view).
Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort
The newly revamped Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort has certainly grabbed our attention. It even snagged TPG’s 2024 award for Best New All-Inclusive Points Hotel. With 450 rooms, including 38 suites, you can choose from a Comfy Resort View room or go all-out in the sprawling 2,067-square-foot Presidential Suite. The vibe is an ideal mix of laid-back and energetic, making it a great pick for families, couples and even those on multigenerational trips. Days here are filled with everything from water aerobics to live music, and the dining scene is just as entertaining — think classic Mexican flavors (complete with a roaming tamale cart), sizzling teppanyaki at Ono, homestyle comfort foods at Mo’s Burgers & Shakes and quite a bit more. Add in multiple pools, a water park and a brand-new Camp Club for kids, and this is a multifaceted all-inclusive spring vacation escape.
Rates at Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort start at around $450 or 60,000-80,000 points per night.
Origins Lodge
Tucked between two volcanic peaks in Costa Rica, Origins Lodge is a hidden-away rainforest retreat that fuses luxury with holistic adventure. The journey there takes you through jungle-lined roads, but once you arrive, you’re greeted with sweeping canopy views and the opportunity to truly unplug. With just six suites and one three-bedroom villa, accommodations are rustic yet elegant with bamboo ceilings, open-air showers and private decks featuring wood-fired hot tubs. Days can be as active or relaxed as you’d like, from jungle hikes and horseback rides to sunset yoga and lazy afternoons by the infinity pool. Meals are a highlight, featuring local, organic dishes like fresh-caught comber fish in asparagus sauce or a juicy rib-eye with sweet potato puree. There is no air conditioning or TV, just cool breezes, an endless eyeful of nature and an off-the-grid escape.
Rates at Origins Lodge start at $699 per night for bed and breakfast, but the full-board option (from $804) is worth it for the included meals. You can also book with World of Hyatt points from 67,740 points per night, since this property is part of Mr & Mrs Smith.
The St. Regis Longboat Key
Not only is The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort Marriott’s 9,000th property, but it’s also one of the most exciting developments in the area in more than 50 years. Spanning 18 acres of beachfront, the resort has 168 rooms and suites, an impressive 20,000-square-foot spa, a lazy river on the beach, and a lagoon full of tropical fish. The resort’s design is a blend of Floridian aesthetic and a nod to the circus legend John Ringling (who purchased a sizable bit of land here in the 1920s). Think rope-clad chandeliers and an oval ballroom that will have you feeling like you’re under the big top. Foodies will be in heaven with seven different dining options, from Riva’s Italian menu to CW Prime’s steakhouse. Don’t miss the hidden Spirit Room speakeasy, where you can splurge on a secret $400 cocktail. Nearby, explore St. Armands Circle, check out downtown Sarasota or stop at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.
Rates at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort start at around $930 per night for superior rooms. Oceanfront suites start at $4,000 per night. Marriott Bonvoy members can redeem points starting at 102,000 points per night for standard rooms.

The Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is the star of Deer Valley’s massive East Village expansion, standing alone (for now) at the base of the new ski lifts. With 436 accommodations, including residences, the hotel offers modern, mountain-inspired rooms with plush amenities like Nespresso machines, cozy robes and large closets. While it’s not quite ski-in/ski-out, you can either walk a short distance to the lifts or hop on a continuous-loop shuttle. The hotel partners with Ski Butlers for convenient in-room ski rentals and offers lockers for easy gear storage. After hitting the slopes, unwind in the outdoor heated pool and hot tubs; kids and teens can check out the Nexus game lounge with arcade games and board games.

This stunning expansion brings 268 new rooms, including duo studios, deluxe studios, one-bedroom villas and two-bedroom penthouses — some with front-row views of Magic Kingdom’s fireworks. The design is inspired by Polynesian wayfinding, with subtle “Moana” touches and a nature-inspired aesthetic. Guests can enjoy all the classic resort perks, plus a new pool, “Moana”-themed splash area, fitness center and Wailulu Bar & Grill.

Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Paris
Paris is perfect nearly every season, but the city is extra magical in spring. Spend your days getting lost on quaint streets, sipping espresso at crowded cafes and admiring the flowers at Tuileries Garden. To really enjoy this time of year, book a room at the Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel, with 1920s art deco glamour throughout. It’s easy to embrace Paris in spring at the hotel, as a handful of rooms offer balconies and the Le Patio courtyard bar showcases a stunning collection of mosaics and greenery.

Park Hyatt Sydney
OK, let’s flip spring on its head — literally. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere starts in March, but for our friends Down Under, it’s actually fall. If you’ve ever wanted to experience Australia when it is a bit more affordable yet still offers mostly fair weather, autumn is the season to visit. You can easily spend the bulk of your time exploring the city on foot, though you may find it hard to pull yourself away from your room if you stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney. Many of the hotel’s rooms and suites feature breathtaking views of the Sydney Opera House and/or Sydney Harbour. You can also enjoy views of the city’s famous landmarks as you enjoy a glass of local wine at The Dining Room or sunbathe by the rooftop pool.
Rates at Park Hyatt Sydney start at $623 or 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night.
