Spring break is all about timing and being in the know. The city before it’s booked solid, the mountains while there’s still snow on the slopes, or the beach before summer crowds descend. These homes are chosen for exactly that reason: the right places, caught at the right moment, just before everyone else has the same idea.

Paris

Spring is when Paris remembers how good it is at being Paris. Brighter days encourage short strolls that inevitably turn into long lunches and leisurely evenings. The days feel lighter, the pace more flexible, and the city invites you to take your time exploring, with nowhere urgent to be. It’s less about ticking boxes, more about enjoying the city like the locals.

Stay here:
Porte Dauphine Townhouse is a relaxed, elegant four-level home near the Arc de Triomphe, combining classic features with modern comfort and outdoor space that’s rare for the city.

One must-do:
Rent bikes and head into the Bois de Boulogne for fresh air, wide paths, and an easy morning ride just outside the city.

Tuscany

Spring is when Tuscany comes into its own. The roads are open, the countryside is green, and lunch doesn’t need booking weeks in advance. Days naturally fill with market stops and scenic drives, all without the intensity of the summer heat (and the crowds that come with it.) Spring lets you enjoy the region properly, at your own pace, without much effort.

Stay here:
Villa il Castello is a beautifully restored estate near Volterra, with countryside views, Tuscan stone, and generous spaces designed for long meals, good wine, and slow afternoons.

One must-do:
Arrange a local wine or olive oil tasting through your concierge and spend the afternoon getting to know the region by flavor.

Dominican Republic

Spring is a sweet spot in the Dominican Republic. The days are warm and bright, the water inviting, and the pace feels calm rather than crowded. ‘Tis the season for spending long hours outdoors, moving between the sea, the pool, and a shaded spot without needing a plan beyond “stay put.” Everything about this time of year encourages proper downtime, the kind where you forget what day it is.

Stay here:
Palm West is a beachfront estate designed for group stays, with generous indoor-outdoor living, with enough room for everyone to find their own space.

One must-do:
Book a snorkeling or water sports excursion - whether it’s paddling over coral reefs to spot tropical fish or taking a catamaran cruise along the coast.

Los Angeles

LA in spring is a dream. The beaches are warm for early walks, the hills are green, and the locals are prepping for festival season. It’s the kind of city break where a sunrise coffee in Silver Lake can easily turn into a late lunch by the sea, without much need to watch the clock.

Stay here:
Iris Drive is a four-bedroom home set in the Hollywood Hills, with expansive views, open living spaces, and outdoor areas designed for warm-weather days.

One must-do:
Spend an afternoon at the Getty Center, where art, architecture, and panoramic views come together especially well.

Breckenridge

Spring in Breckenridge is the best of both worlds. Late-season snow keeps the upper slopes lively, while lower trails open up for hiking and bike rides. With brighter days and cooler evenings made for gathering outdoors, it’s an easy balance of alpine adventure and fresh-air downtime.

Stay here:
Boulder Vista is a spacious mountain retreat with wide-open views and generous living areas, ideal for groups looking to come together after days spent outdoors.

One must-do:
Book a guided late-season snowshoe or fat-bike tour on nearby trails, experiencing Breckenridge’s alpine scenery while avoiding peak winter crowds.

London

Spring is when London wakes up. Parks become the go-to spot, café tables return to the sidewalks, and walking becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. It’s the season when the city rewards wandering, whether that’s exploring new neighborhoods or letting an afternoon drift away in a favorite beer garden.

Stay here:
Drury Lane II is a spacious Covent Garden townhouse in the heart of the city, offering a central base for a spring vacation.

One must-do:
Catch a West End show, then head for a cocktail nearby. Spring evenings in London make it hard to call it a night.
