Best Staycation Ideas for Your Spring Break

If you can’t extract yourself from your business long enough to take a proper vacation, that doesn’t mean you need to forego the idea altogether.

We must never forget that all work and no play can lead to serious burnout! A little time away refreshes the body, mind, and soul. Luckily, Southern California has plenty to offer. Many attractions and diversions are just a short drive away—and we’ve got a few suggestions to help you kickstart your planning.

Hiking or Camping in the Monument

When was the last time you went to Joshua Tree National Park? The park has almost endless hiking trails and roads you can drive and cycle, plus plenty of campgrounds if you want to immerse yourself in the full desert experience. Be sure to bring plenty of water and good hiking shoes. You might also want to invest in a remote charger for your phone, so you can always be reachable, just in case.

Discover Idyllwild

Of course, there are plenty of other places to get outdoors. The winter months are ideal as you won’t be battling extreme summer heat. If you want to get out of the desert element, try Idyllwild. It’s an easy drive up the mountain, or you can take the tram from Palm Springs for a more scenic adventure. Once you’re there, the town and all its amenities are totally walkable. From hiking trails to artisan shops, restaurants, or whatever makes you smile, it’s a staycation adventure you’ll never forget!

Go Ballooning

Fantasy Balloon Flight offers hot air balloon adventures taking off from Palm Springs or Temecula. It’s a great way to spend a morning, flying high above the desert floor and getting glimpses of the local landscape as you’ve never seen it before.

Visit the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens

The Living Desert Zoo features Rhinos, Giraffes, Kangaroos, and plenty of exhibits, demonstrations, events, and hiking trails to keep you amazed throughout your visit. To get the full experience, be sure to book a shuttle tour to learn about the 600 animals that live at the zoo and their conservation efforts.

Book a Spa Day or Retreat

Nothing says relaxation like relaxation! The Coachella Valley has some of California’s best spa resorts, so whichever one you choose is bound to be perfect. Some of our favorites include Villa Royale, the La Quinta ResortEstrella Spa at the Avalon Hotel, and the Spa at Two Bunch Palms. Go for the day, the weekend, or whatever you can manage – the time away and pampering will surely do you good!
