weekend away

Brief travel break

A weekend away is a short trip taken over a Saturday and Sunday, typically for leisure or relaxation.

The phrase emphasizes departure from home or routine: We booked a weekend away at a cabin in the mountains.

It suggests modest duration—longer than a day trip but shorter than a proper vacation.
