7 instagram worthy places your teen will love
It is hard enough to get a vacation with teens that they approve, let alone one that is Instagram worthy. Let's face it...no matter where you go on vacation, the teens/kids will find a way to be on their devices. Doesn't matter if it's a gorgeous hotel or a gorgeous beach, the phones will be there to document. So, why not make it worth their while and take them somewhere where the pictures will make them socially famous.
Divi Little Bay Beach Resort
This St. Maarten resort is breathtaking! If going into the turquoise waters of the ocean isn't your thing, then the resort has lots and lots of pools to lounge around in. With the mountains in the background, it makes for the perfect backdrop. The resort is located on the Dutch side which is filled with all sorts of things that teens can get in to, particularly Maho Beach! This island is one of our favorite cruise ports.
Lone Mountain Ranch
This place is guaranteed to be beautiful year round! The breathtaking mountain views and countless summer and winter activities here will have kids posting, sharing and snapping as fast as their little fingers will allow. Lone Mountain Ranch, located in Big Sky, Montana, offers a genuine Yellowstone Park experience where guests can go horseback riding, mountain biking, white water rafting, fly fishing, dog sledding or skiing -- just to name a few of the family friendly activities available.
Occidental at Xcaret Destination
This place is something to see! Xcaret, which is an adventure park located in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, is only a five-minute walk from this resort and offers its own park entrance. Make sure those devices are charged before heading to Xcaret because it truly is the place where friends back home won't believe it unless they see it. Families can swim with dolphins, take Instagram-worthy photos of jaguars, sea turtles or the Mayan live entertainment. There are water slides and hanging bridges and Snuba opportunities, among many other activities. This is a popular excursion for cruise ships as a day trip.
Kauai Beach Resort
Can't get any better than being in Hawaii. Get the kids up early with promises of pink skies like they (or their social media feed) have never seen before. The Sunrise Ceremony at Kauai Beach Resort features an authentic Hawaiian experience that welcomes the sun and the new day each morning. The kids may grumble at the early call time, but when the sun crests over the ocean and they are snapping away, they will thank you for the experience (hopefully).
Northern Light Inn
This unique place, located in Iceland, offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights. We think the kids and the adults will want to post to social media about this one! Families will love staying at the Northern Light Inn as it is only one minute away from the Blue Lagoon, which in itself is Instagram-worthy. The geothermal spa is located in a lava field and truly may be the bluest blue you've ever seen. Once the sun sets and the dark skies appear, the Northern Light Inn offers incredible views of the Aurora Borealis (conditions permitting). It's on our bucket list!
Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite
If your family is into the outdoors, then this place is for you. Archery, climbing walls, pools, ice skating, horseback riding and fishing -- there is a lot to do and take photos of while staying at Tenaya Lodge. The mountain views and even the cabins are Instagram-worthy too. And the resort is just a few miles from Yosemite National Park in California, where more amazing photo ops await.
The Grand Hotel
Families will have plenty of time to slow down and capture that perfect Instagram shot when visiting Mackinac Island; in fact, motorized vehicles are banned here. Located off the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, Mackinac Island is filled with horses and bicycles. But don't worry - there is free Wi-Fi at the hotel so there will be plenty of opportunities to post to social media. Kids will love the on site horse stables, bike rentals and of course, the pool at The Grand Hotel. Families can take a carriage tour or enjoy afternoon tea while staying here, surely making the resort a hit with your friends on social media. Another one on our bucket list.
