Best March Break Family Vacations from Canada
By Fond Travels · Updated September 22, 2026
March break is the big family travel week of the year for Canadians — one precious week to swap the cold for the sun with the kids. The catch: everyone books it, so the best family resorts and fares sell out early. Here are the best March break family vacations from Canada, and how to lock one in — all in Canadian Dollars.
All-inclusive beaches (the easy family win)
An all-inclusive resort is the classic March break trip for a reason: flights, rooms, meals, drinks, kids' clubs and pools in one price, so there are no surprises and no cooking. The top family picks from Canada:
- Cancún & the Riviera Maya, Mexico — the widest choice of family resorts, waterparks and direct flights. See flights to Cancún.
- Punta Cana, Dominican Republic — huge family all-inclusives at great value.
- Puerto Vallarta & Los Cabos, Mexico — family-friendly and often better value than Cancún.
- Jamaica (Montego Bay) — warm welcomes and kid-friendly resorts.
Adventure for active families: Costa Rica
If a week on a lounger isn't your family's style, Costa Rica is the March break winner — zip-lines, volcanoes, sloths and monkeys, rafting and beaches, all safe and easy to travel with kids. See our Costa Rica vacation packages.
Something different: Dubai
For a memorable, sunny city trip, Dubai is a family surprise — world-class theme parks and waterparks, the Burj Khalifa, a desert safari and beaches, and it's warm in March. See our Dubai & UAE packages.
What to look for in a family trip
- Kids' clubs and connecting rooms — a break for parents and space for everyone.
- Waterparks and pools — the number-one thing kids remember.
- "Kids stay free" deals — real savings, and they reward booking early.
- Direct flights where possible — shorter travel days with children.
