Need some family Thanksgiving vacation inspiration? It’s that time of year again, and those island destinations definitely sound appealing with the cold coming in. Or maybe you’re looking for a trip to the mountains, where you can ski and get in the holiday spirit. Take a peek down the list of some of the best Thanksgiving vacations you can take this year.
1. Harborside Resort at Atlantis
If the kids, grandparents, aunts and uncles are coming in tow, the Harborside Resort at Atlantis is one of the best Thanksgiving vacations you can find. Located in the Bahamas, where the sun still shines the whole month of November, you’ll be in a tropical paradise. In fact, the Atlantis resort is located on Paradise Island, so you know it’s going to treat you well.
Jam-packed with amenities and activities, you might want to consider this for your Thanksgiving family vacation away from the snow-capped mountains. Adults can enjoy evenings at the on-site casino while the little ones can explore Aquaventure, the waterpark right at the resort. Relax in over 140 acres of pools, private cabanas and lazy rivers. Or head to one of four private beaches, Dolphin Cay and even the Stingray Lagoon.
Thanksgiving week in Atlantis is packed with fun, festive activities. Join the Atlantis Kids Adventures Culinary team to decorate Thanksgiving cupcakes. Gobble Wobble Rock is perfect for teens, located in the CRUSH Teen Nightclub with festive games like turkey bowling. And the next day, Santa will arrive for the rest of the season at his own workshop in the Atlantis resort.

For the history buffs at heart, traveling to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving vacation is a perfect idea. The Breakers Ocean View Resort captures the New England vibe with the Nantucket-style architecture and Cape Cod location. Live entertainment, restaurants and bars are all nearby for a fun night out. Or take a winter beach walk, since this resort sits right on the shores.
The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is right around the corner, where you can learn about Cape Cod’s flora, fauna and wildlife in over 80 acres of conservation land. Make sure to bring your camera and binoculars too, since this area is prime for whale watching. While Breakers Ocean View Resort sits at the southern shores of the Cape, take a day trip to Provincetown further north to visit the site of the Mayflower landing.
