Oregon town among 25 adult spring break 2025 destinations recommended by travel magazine

While spring break vacations are often thought of as a time for students to cut loose, Condé Nast Traveler suggests that adults deserve their own spring break getaways, and offers a list of 25 places to do just that.

The travel publication and website notes that spring break trips are “shining examples of one of the greatest travel hacks out there,” in that they can be enjoyed in the transitional months outside summer and winter peak travel periods.

To get a head start on making travel plans, Condé Nast Traveler rounded up 25 adult spring break destinations for 2025. And, no surprise, an Oregon town made the cut, another example of how Oregon hotels, campsites, beaches, food and more tend to show up on these kinds of best-of lists.

The Oregon spot that landed among the adult spring break recommendations is Bend, the central Oregon town known for its scenic beauty, nearby recreational opportunities, comfortable lodging, delicious food, and more.

According to the Condé Nast Traveler article, “The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful parts of the United States. To soak up all that nature but still get the perks of city living, head straight to Bend, Oregon (about three hours south of Portland). The town receives an annual average of 300 days of sunshine, giving visitors ample opportunities to go hiking through the Cascades or kayaking and fly fishing on the Deschutes River. Make sure you set aside some time to visit a brewery (or five) along the Bend Ale Trail.”

Bend is in eclectic company where adult spring break destinations are concerned. The Condé Nast Traveler list also includes New York City; Puerto Rico; Belize; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Samaná Bay, Dominican Republic; Oaxaca, Mexico; Anguilla; Holland; Kyoto, Japan; Panama City, Panama; Antigua; Bolivia; Vancouver Island, Canada; Healdsburg, California; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Grand Canyon National Park; The Azores; Miami, Florida; Black River, Jamaica; Costa Rica; Alabama’s Gulf Coast; and San Diego, California.
