Pet-Friendly Travel

Travel looks different in 2026, and that includes who comes along. More travelers are choosing to bring their pets, and hotels like Paséa Hotel & Spa, Koʻa Kea Resort, Hotel Viata, and The Meritage Resort and Spa are redefining the experience with elevated, pet welcoming stays that feel both intentional and effortless.

Coastal Stays Made Easy

At Paséa Hotel & Spa, dogs are more than welcome, they are part of the experience. With no weight restrictions and access to multiple areas across the property, the stay feels inclusive from start to finish. A one time fee covers essentials like beds, bowls, and keepsake items, while special packages offer even more curated perks.

Wine Country and Open Spaces

The Meritage Resort and Spa offers a relaxed yet refined setting where pets can enjoy the slower pace of wine country. With in-room amenities available upon request and outdoor access points, it is easy to transition from a morning walk to an afternoon tasting without missing a moment together. Policies are designed to maintain comfort for all guests, with guidelines around shared spaces and supervision.

Island Travel, Reimagined

For those dreaming of a tropical escape, Koʻa Kea Resort on Kauai offers a rare opportunity to travel to Hawaii with your dog. The resort welcomes pets with a one time fee and encourages guests to plan ahead, as Hawaii requires specific documentation and health guidelines for incoming animals.

Set along Poipu Beach, the experience blends oceanfront serenity with personalized service. While pet amenities are intentionally simple, the concierge can assist with local pet services, allowing you to explore the island with ease.

A Relaxed Retreat in Austin

Hotel Viata offers a more residential approach, blending luxury with comfort in the Texas Hill Country. With pet friendly accommodations and access to outdoor areas, it is a destination that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy time together.

Plan Your Next Escape

From oceanfront mornings in Huntington Beach to vineyard afternoons in Napa and island escapes in Kauai, traveling with your pet in 2026 feels more connected than ever. With thoughtful amenities, welcoming spaces, and curated experiences, these destinations ensure that every member of the family, including your four legged companion, feels right at home.
