Fall Travel Is the Best-Kept Secret of the Year

While most travelers chase summer sun or winter holidays, fall quietly delivers some of the best travel experiences of the year. Think smaller crowds, golden landscapes, crisp air, and resorts that finally exhale after peak season. As a travel advisor who’s spent years curating family trips, girls’ getaways, and solo escapes, I can confidently say: autumn is the insider’s season.

Why Fall Travel Hits Different

Perfect Weather Without the Chaos - Whether it’s the Mediterranean in late September or the Caribbean in early November, the temperatures are ideal. You still get the sunshine but skip the sweltering heat and long lines.

Better Value, More Luxury - From all-inclusive beach resorts to European boutique hotels, fall pricing often dips 20–30% from summer highs. That means upgraded rooms, quieter pools, and a little more champagne in the budget.

Nature’s Show in Full Color - The Blue Ridge Parkway, the Canadian Rockies, and parts of Japan turn into art this time of year. Even closer to home, New England and the Smokies are pure magic in October.

Easier Flights, Calmer Airports - School is back in session, so airports are noticeably calmer. This is prime time for parents to slip away for a couples’ trip or for single parents to treat their kids to a less hectic adventure.

Tricia’s Fall Favorites for 2025

Vermont or Quebec – Cozy inns, cider mills, and scenic drives through fiery forests. Greece or Italy (late September) – Warm seas, fewer tourists, and golden evening light for photos. Jamaica or Dominican Republic (November) – All-inclusive ease, perfect for families who want sunshine before winter hits. Sedona, Arizona – Crisp mornings, red rocks, and energy that feels healing.

How to Plan It Right

• Book early fall (September–mid-October) for Europe and U.S. foliage.

• Book late fall (November) for the Caribbean or Mexico.

• Ask about shoulder-season perks: resorts often include free nights or resort credits.

And yes

your travel advisor (that’s me!) can secure the kind of added value you can’t get online: room upgrades, breakfast inclusions, VIP transfers, and insider tips to make your trip smoother.
