SPRING BREAK – Grown-Up Style

• Hedonism II

There’s no better place to party this spring than Hedonism II. Found on the edge of the white sand beach of Negril, Jamaica, this adult-only, clothing optional, all-inclusive resort is  famous for its judgement free zone, so feel free to get wild, or keep it mild if you prefer.  Nothing at Hedonism is watered down, especially the drinks, which are all poured with premium liquors and top shelf brands preventing hangovers and allowing the party to go on all night long. Enter the Romping Shop, a playroom open nightly from 10:30PM – 3AM designed to allow couples, single women and invited single men the opportunity to explore and rediscover their personal boundaries in a safe environment. Hedonism fosters a sensual carefree atmosphere that encourages you to bring your fantasies to life. Every night has a different theme party and every guest is invited to indulge. Whether it’s leather and lingerie, a toga party or hedonistic school girls, each event is crafted to offer guests maximum opportunities to pursue pleasure. Partied out? Refuel with the fresh baked Jamaican patties available every day at the Beach Grill and endless jerk chicken platters.

• NYAH

Key West is a good time year-round, but it’s during Spring Break where things really kick off, especially at NYAH (acronym for ‘Not Your Average Hotel’). Located just a few blocks from Duval Street,  NYAH is a unique hotel transforming the traditional travel experience with its “Build Your Own Room” concept, which feature versatile beds and room design that can be converted to accommodate a solo traveler, a pair of vacationing friends, or a party of six – perfect for your spring break crew! When guests aren’t sunbathing on the pool deck by the hotel’s three pools and two Jacuzzis or sippin’ cocktails at the lobby bar, they can head out and explore quirky Key West’s iconic bars, relaxing hidden beaches, sunset cruises and more.

• Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Key Largo, FL

Sitting on a 745-stretch of private, white sandy beach (a rarity in the Florida Keys!), Playa Largo Resort & Spa is a luxurious vacation escape that can be tailored to active travelers and beach bums alike. For those who’d prefer to relax this spring rather than party it up on South Beach or Key West, this tropical paradise is an hour south of Miami, yet a world away. Nestled amongst oversized gumbo limbo trees and miles of turquoise blue waters, Playa Largo  is the first new hotel built in the Upper Keys in more than 21 years! Whether you prefer kicking back in a poolside chaise lounge with a signature Playa Largo mojito or harnessing your inner Serena Williams on the property’s two Har-Tru green clay tennis courts, this waterfront oasis offers guests the chance to personalize their spring break escape. When brunching and lounging get old (as if!), grab a stand-up paddle board for some fun under the sun, or snorkel with Florida’s most colorful fish. Afterwards, hop aboard a colorful beach cruiser as you wind your way through the property’s lush vegetation and dedicated biking trail.

• The Resort at Longboat Key Club, Longboat Key, Florida

As the only AAA Four-Diamond resort in Sarasota, Fla., The Resort at Longboat Key Club is not only a luxurious beachfront paradise, it is also the place to sharpen your sport skills this spring. The property spans 410 acres and offers 45 holes of PGA-approved championship golf, 20 Har-Tru tennis courts, and the largest deep-water resort marina on Florida’s west coast. Sports lovers also enjoy the nearby MLB Spring Training games. Every spring, the quaint coastal town welcomes the Baltimore Orioles to Ed Smith Stadium and the Pittsburgh Pirates to McKechnie Field. The resort is just 10 minutes from Ed Smith and 25 minutes from McKechnie.
