These Are Airbnb’s Top 10 Spring Destinations To Visit This Year
Based on what people are currently searching for.
The mildly warm weather and unusually bright blue February skies had many of us wanting to soak up the sun properly — somewhere with deserted shores, infinity pools, cabanas and cocktails.
Whether you’re looking for a real barefoot toes-in-the-sand kind of holiday, or would prefer a quick city break to beat the crowds before Easter, Airbnb has revealed their hottest spring holiday destinations based on what people are searching for. And it’s a list that has something for everyone.
Carolina, Puerto Rico
Natural and understated, this quiet corner in Puerto Rico is the best place to beat the crowds. Situated in the Northeast coast with close links to the capital, San Juan, you can choose between beaches rippled with miles of sand dunes or zip to the city centre for its culture.

Monterrey, Mexico
Monterrey is Mexico’s third-largest city that has a humming creative scene, vibrant nightlife and is jam-packed with top-notch restaurants. Fly out for a visit this spring and you’ll want to rebook for next year straight away.
Santos, Brazil
Travellers can’t get enough of this coastal city. Here, you’ll find plenty of chic-but-affordable hotels, glorious silky ribbons of sand by the water and beachfront cafes where the only sound you’ll hear is the waves crashing against the shore. It’s a long flight though, so you’ll need more than just a few days here.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan also made the list, known for being a historical city pulsating with modern energy. The area was hit by Hurricane Irma back in September 2017, but remained to rebuild itself into something quite beautiful. You can land at the airport and be swimming around in the waters just moments later, and we all know there’s nothing better than that.
Dapa, Philippines
This palm-covered, lesser-known corner of the Philippines has smouldering views you have to see to believe. There’s no thumping club scene here. It’s entirely tranquil, best known for its legendary sunsets where backpackers stop looking to escape civilisation. Get here before everyone else does.
St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
From hammock-strewn beaches to extraordinary scuba diving spots, a visit here will send anyone into a happy-go-lucky state of mind. No wonder it’s one of the most-searched for spots on Airbnb for this spring.
Vladivostok, Russia
This thoroughly charming city has a beautiful hilly setting, striking architecture and is a place for many adventures. Filled with fascinating history and stories from its Soviet era, it’s steeped in culture for visitors to soak up.
Cologne, Germany
This 2000-year-old city is the region’s cultural hub. Filled with avant-garde structures, medieval churches and museums on every corner, everyone will love a weekend city break here. And if you’ve still got time, hop on the Deutsche Bahn for a 45-minute train journey into the beautiful mountainous range in the Westerwald. This is the kind of place where visiting just once isn’t an option.
Williams, Arizona
Known as the gateway to the Grand Canyon, high-desert Williams is filled with Americana-style restaurants and shops that date back to the 1900s. Take a visit to the Bearizona Wildlife Park or Pete’s Route 66 Gas Station Museum to really taste the bygone era that once was.
Guadeloupe
The French Caribbean Archipelago is a beautifully untouched destination that definitely shouldn’t be missed. With a string of beach towns, soaring mountain ranges and crystal-clear waters, it’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth. So there’s no surprise it’s one of Airbnb’s most-searched-for destinations.
