Where to travel in August or on any long weekend?
If your vacation plan includes not worrying, a beach escape is your best choice: fresh air, delicious food, sand under your feet, rest.
There are destinations like Cancun, Vallarta, Huatulco, and Acapulco that are easy to reach in a short time. And if you go last-minute, here are some recommendations on how to enjoy your beach vacation to the fullest.
Fiesta Americana Cancun Villas, the destination for all ages
One of the best destinations for a stress-free vacation is the Fiesta Americana Cancun Villas Hotel. Here, little ones have fun in the Kids Club with supervised activities, while adults enjoy the spa, relax by the sea, or get a massage.
And as a member of the FAVC vacation club, your experience gets even better: access to special discounts, personalized attention, and many more benefits that make traveling easier, more comfortable, and flexible.
Puerto Vallarta: Beaches and scenery

Vallarta is an ideal family destination for summer: calm beaches, water activities, boat rides, and delicious local cuisine. Its warm, safe vibe makes it perfect for enjoying with the family.
Plus, its malecón is great for evening walks, watching street performances, or trying an artisanal ice cream while you listen to live music. Its mix of nature and urban life makes it a classic that never disappoints.
Huatulco: a well-kept secret
Just 50 minutes by plane from Mexico City, on the coast of Oaxaca, you’ll find the perfect destination for a quick trip. Its world-class tourism infrastructure awaits with golf courses and a charming urban area called La Crucecita.
It makes this destination perfect for disconnecting without going too far. Its nine bays and crystal-clear waters make it a unique corner where you can snorkel, hike ecological trails, or simply read a book by the sea.
Acapulco, synonymous with nostalgia
The unforgettable destination for many families has always been Acapulco. In August, the weather turns ideal: warm, but with a sea breeze that freshens your afternoons. You can walk the beach, enjoy fresh seafood, or simply watch the sunset from the coast.
You can also relive the thrill of the La Quebrada cliff divers or visit the famous Costera Miguel Alemán. Acapulco has the power to make you feel at home, again and again.
City getaways: Guadalajara and Mexico City
An urban escape can also be a chance to reconnect with your roots, discover museums, attend cultural events, or simply walk streets full of history and flavor, for example:
- Guadalajara: Capital of mariachi and tequila, perfect for combining culture, tradition, and gastronomy. Nearby towns like Tlaquepaque or Tequila are ideal to round out the experience.
- Mexico City: Museums, parks, zoos, and neighborhoods like Coyoacán or the Historic Center make the capital a vibrant destination full of history and activities for all ages.
Recommendations for planning your quick trip
We know you want the best rest experience on this vacation, so here’s what we consider the best recommendations to carry out your dream trip:
