Summer isn’t over — and neither are your chances at a real getaway. August booking windows are still open at some of Hilton’s best resorts, whether your version of a perfect escape involves sugar-white sand, a tee time, a lazy river or an all-inclusive where nobody asks you to cook.

Here are five Hilton resorts worth grabbing before the calendar (and the availability) runs out.

1. For the Beach Lover: Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa

Experience Miramar Beach, Florida, and the Emerald Coast’s sugar-white sand and green-blue Gulf water,. This resort has a full-service spa, kids’ programming and (bonus) golf on property. It’s the rare beachfront resort where everyone in the family runs out of daylight before they run out of things to do. Check August availability →

2. For the Golfer: Waldorf Astoria Orlando

Indulge in a Rees Jones–designed championship golf course wrapped in Waldorf-level luxury, minutes from Walt Disney World. Play 18 while the kids hit the pools, then meet back for one of Orlando’s best resort dinners. Late-summer tee times are far easier to land than spring ones. Check August availability →

3. For the Pool Kids: Hilton Anatole, Dallas

The Anatole’s JadeWaters complex is basically a private waterpark: two 180-foot slides, a lazy river, a splash zone for littles and cabanas for the grown-ups. It’s the easiest “resort vacation” in the middle of the country — no beach required. Check August availability →

4. For the Easy Button: Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort

Every meal, snack and swim-up drink is already paid for the moment you land. Hilton is running a kids & teens stay free promotion at its all-inclusive resorts in 2026, which turns the priciest-looking pick on this list into a surprisingly great deal for families. Check August availability →

5. For the Bucket List: Hilton Waikoloa Village, Hawaii

Big Island lagoons, waterslides, and sunsets that make the flight worth it. If this is the summer you finally stop saying “someday,” late-August fares and availability are the most forgiving you’ll see all season. Check August availability →
