"While plenty of families choose to gather at home, there's something to be said for skipping the hours in the kitchen and letting someone else take care of the turkey and trimmings. Today, Thanksgiving is as much about making memories with loved ones as it is about the meal itself, so this year, why not swap the stress for a far-flung family getaway?"
"From New York's bright city lights to a tropical Caribbean retreat, here are Elite Traveler 's top Thanksgiving getaways for 2025. Expect roast turkey and pumpkin pie, or dip into the untraditional, with omakase dinners on the sand and gratitude hikes through forest trails."
Many families usually gather at home, but opting to travel removes the long hours in the kitchen and transfers turkey and trimmings to hosts or resorts. Thanksgiving now emphasizes making memories with loved ones as much as the meal itself, making stress-free travel appealing. Suggested options range from vibrant city breaks in New York to tropical Caribbean retreats. Travelers can expect traditional elements like roast turkey and pumpkin pie, or choose unconventional experiences such as omakase dinners served on sandy beaches and guided gratitude hikes along forest trails. Far-flung getaways enable relaxation and shared experiences beyond the dining table.
