Cancun
Cancun has all the makings of a quintessential spring break getaway. Along with its white sand beaches and beautiful coastline, this Mexico city boasts numerous all-inclusive resorts with budget-friendly packages that cover drinks, meals and entertainment, plus a rollicking nightlife scene (don’t miss Coco Bongo). Many travel companies run student-specific deals on vacation packages to Cancun as well. If you ever tire of the beach, you can check out Mayan ruins at Chichén Itzá and El Rey Ruins.
Miami Beach
When you’re not lounging on Miami Beach’s wide shorelines, make the most of the city’s event calendar, which includes Miami Beach Pride and Ultra Music Festival (both are typically held in March or April). This Florida city is packed with accommodation options at a variety of price points, too, meaning you can find everything from an affordable hotel to a large vacation rental that can fit all of your friends to a chic resort, depending on what you’re looking for. Dodge exorbitant cover charges when you’re out partying by getting to the clubs early in the evening.
