Las Vegas
Nevada
#1 group getaway
Same rank as 2019
Hacker tip
If your group is looking to land at one of Vegas’s classic rooftop parties - you may be in for a bit of a shock. While these gatherings have restarted, they’re no longer the energetic, all-night parties of years past. Now you can expect to find more low-key hangouts to allow social distancing to take place.

Orlando
Florida
#2 group getaway
Same rank as 2019
Hacker tip
If you’re spending a day - or your whole trip - avoiding Orlando’s theme parks, go beyond the tourist district of Orlando (around International Drive). Instead, visit nearby Sanford to walk around its historic downtown and enjoy views of Lake Monroe (while definitely avoiding crowds).

Cancún
Mexico
#4 group getaway
Up 1 spot from 2019
Hacker tip
The beaches of Cancún are perfect for a group hang, but if your crew is looking to get out of the city for a bit, consider renting a car or take a private shuttle to Chichen Itza. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it’s worth the 3-hour drive and is an opportunity to safely distance outdoors.

Miami Beach
Florida
#5 group getaway
Up 6 spots from 2019
Hacker tip
Now that spring break is long gone, Miami is entering what’s typically its off-season, as both humidity and temps increase. Pack multiples of everything - especially masks. Because while bars and clubs are fully open, they require that you mask up at all times - including while on the dance floor. Need a break from the heat? Book a hotel with a rooftop plunge pool to cool off in - like the newly opened KAYAK Miami Beach.

San Juan
Puerto Rico
#6 group getaway
Up 27 spots from 2019

While Old San Juan is certainly stunning - try to think outside the city box. Consider a trip to Bayamon, whose stunning waterfalls and ample opportunities to hike let you get outside and safely socially distance.

Myrtle Beach
South Carolina
#7 group getaway
Up 8 spots from 2019
Hacker tip
No trip to Myrtle Beach is complete without spending a day at, well, the beach. However, know that social distancing is strictly enforced and groups of more than 3 people will need to be dispersed. So choose who in your crew you want to share a towel with.

Key West
Florida
#8 group getaway
Up 20 spots from 2019
Hacker tip
Key West is the perfect place to be if the main goal of your group getaway is to be anywhere but in your own home(s). Many of the island’s dining options are outdoors, there are plenty of under- and on-the-water attractions to safely socially distance and many places are experiencing lower foot traffic. Just remember to apply plenty of sunscreen.

Playa del Carmen
Mexico
#9 group getaway
Up 15 spots from 2019
Hacker tip
Located on the famous Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen is known as a trendy resort town with fantastic white sand beaches. Many of the city’s attractions are still operating at reduced capacity, meaning you may need to carefully plan ahead, as - depending on the size of your group - you may be asked to split up so you can safely socially distance.

If there’s still a curfew in effect when you travel, but you’re more into dancing the night away - these curfews only impact the restaurants and clubs in the city itself, while those in resorts are allowed to stay open to guests-only.
