Just because you've graduated from college doesn't mean that you still can't enjoy a memorable spring break. Adults need breaks from their daily lives just as much as students need breaks from the books. Scheduling an adults-only getaway will leave you refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated — and ready to tackle the next carpool, board meeting or traffic jam with ease.

South Carolina

The Atlantic coastline of South Carolina is a destination for amusement park thrill seekers, sun-worshipers and those looking for an endless stretch of beaches along the famed Grand Strand. The sandy shores of Myrtle Beach are home to Anderson Ocean Club Resort and Spa, a spectacular beachfront resort that also offers a full-service spa called "Awakening". Located on lively North Ocean Boulevard, this coastal retreat offers a myriad of spa services. Their signature herbal mineral bath will relax your sore muscles after a round of golf, while the natural blend of detoxifying ingredients will leave your skin smooth and refreshed. The Anderson Ocean Club Resort and Spa is perfect for someone who enjoys spending their time playing outdoors on the beach or golf course but also wants the ability to unwind in a luxurious setting. 

Maine

The rugged coastline of Maine shows a softer side at the Spruce Point Inn in scenic Boothbay Harbor. You can hike the resort's woodland path, take a cruise on a refurbished lobster boat or drive out to nearby Boothbay Harbor for shopping, dining and local art. The spa at Spruce Point uses organic ingredients that are native to Maine for treatments, such as the Blueberry Bliss facial, which is made with local berries and all-natural materials. You can choose from a wide variety of nail treatments, waxing services, massages and facials to pamper yourself after an active day. Follow this up by watching the sun set in one of the many Adirondack chairs that dot the resort's 57-acre coastline.

Georgia

Chateau Elan Winery and Resort is a sprawling, French-inspired estate located 40 minutes outside of Atlanta, Georgia. As you pull up the winding drive to the Inn, you are immediately immersed in the gorgeous vineyard and delicate landscaping, making you feel as if you've traveled across the ocean to southern France. The facials offered at their world-class spa use state-of-the-art technology to combat aging, sunspots and uneven skin tone. The spa also makes use of the surrounding vineyards in its treatments, using grapes in several of its massage options to exfoliate the skin. If you're looking for a fun activity to do with your group outside of the estate, head to Masterpiece Mixer's Paint and Party for a fun evening of painting and wine drinking. You can even bring along a bottle of Chateau Elan's own wine, purchased after your special spa treatments.

Arizona

Sedona, Arizona is well-known for its plethora of spa resort choices. However, L'Auberge de Sedona stands out for its scenic location on the banks of Oak Creek. You can choose to stay in a rustic creekside cabin with its own private, outdoor cedar shower and wood-burning fireplace. The resort also has an award-winning restaurant on premises, located on the banks of the rushing creek. The intimate spa offers several services that connect you with nature and utilizes aromatherapy to highlight the treatment's healing properties. One unique treatment offered seasonally is called "feet in the creek," where you can gently wade out into Oak Creek and appreciate the natural, peaceful setting. This is followed by a foot reflexology treatment using natural flower extracts to transport you to paradise. Sedona is also known for its otherworldly rock formations, so you don't want to miss out on a tour of majestic Cathedral Rock. Immersing yourself in this spectacular natural environment will help you realign your soul and spirit to a more positive state.

California

Looking to splurge on a spring break getaway that would make your college-aged self envious? Look no further than the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, perched upon a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Located near San Francisco, this upscale resort boasts communal fire pits where you can gather with your friends and watch the moonlight reflect off the Pacific while toasting marshmallows. This is the perfect mix of a happy childhood activity with decidedly grown-up surroundings. The spa offers a Vichy shower room and an exquisite, candlelit Roman bath for hydrotherapy. You can also request a Tatcha facial, where the highly renowned Japanese skincare products are used for a glowing, youthful appearance. While you could travel to San Francisco for an evening to hit up a hot restaurant or hip club, you should remain near the spectacular beaches of this area and instead explore Gray Whale Cove State Park or Half Moon Bay State Beach to hike, explore and just get lost in the beautiful scenery.

Spring break doesn't need to be the same wild and crazy event it was in your youth. Now, you can focus a restful, relaxing break from your daily stresses. Allianz Travel Insurance takes away the pressure of potential trip interruptions or cancellations, so you can enjoy your spring break spa retreat to the fullest.
