summer getaway

Seasonal holiday trip

A summer getaway is a vacation or short trip taken during the warm months, typically to escape routine or heat.

The phrase evokes beaches, lake houses, and resort towns: We're planning a summer getaway to the coast.

Getaway emphasizes escape—from work, city life, or ordinary responsibilities.
