    Central America Spring Breaks for Ultimate Relaxation:

  • Placencia, Belize

    Is the Puerto Vallarta club scene not your thing? If your spring break fantasy is a little lazier — cold beers, hammocks strung between palm trees, and warm Caribbean waters — look no further than Placencia, in southern Belize. Your only job: climbing that tree to hack down a second coconut.

  • Utila, Honduras

    While Utila definitely has a party scene, it’s a simple, leisurely sort, typical of Central America’s top backpacker destinations. Most international travelers head to Utila for its low-cost, world-class Scuba diving, but the island has lots to offer the non-diver, like snorkeling, watersports, and spectacular seafood.

  • Caye Caulker, Belize

    If Ambergris Caye seems a little too lively, opt for the smaller, nearby island of Caye Caulker. Smaller also means cheaper; you can rent a cabana at Tropical Paradise for around $10 a person. Chill out by the water at the Lazy Lizard. Sing karaoke at Oceanside. Above all, be sure to order a pina colada at Rasta Pasta—they’re the biggest I’ve ever seen!
