As hectic school schedules, in-office work and social events roared back to life in the years following the pandemic, Americans have found themselves, well, exhausted.
It’s why, say trend experts, that sleep tourism — vacationing with the intention of getting some quality slumber while away from the every day demands of life — has become a popular travel movement in 2025.
Planning a rest-filled vacation is a distinct shift from post-pandemicRevenge Travel, where travelers craved unique experiences and bucket list adventures to make up for months of being locked down. In fact, according toHilton’s 2025 Trends Report, there’s an increase in the number of travelers who are prioritizing better sleep and relaxation on their vacations. Almost half (49 percent) of responders said one of the reasons they plan to travel is to rest and recharge, and two-thirds of Americans sleep better in hotels.

“It’s a form of self-care to give our bodies rest,” wellness expert and influencerPhyllicia Victoriatells PEOPLE. “We’ve all come to understand that eating well and moving our bodies are important for overall wellbeing, but giving ourselves time to reset and restore is an important component too.”
Says Victoria, “Sleep is a basic need but, when things are busy and many of us are caught in the hustle and bustle, it’s often the first thing we sacrifice — and it can also feel indulgent when we allow ourselves to have it.”
To satisfy that desire, hotels are making sleep easier and more luxurious to achieve. At resorts like theWaldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, relaxation is woven into almost every aspect of their guests' stays — offering a retreat that infuses physical, mental and spiritual restoration.

The type of vacation experience offered at theWaldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregalis the difference, experts say, between vacationing and traveling. According to the annual Hilton survey, “vacationing” is about relaxing and recharging with a slow pace and loose agenda while “traveling” focus on experiencing different cultures and exploring new environments (67 percent of travelers say they like to have a daily itinerary.)
And while these luxe vacations can often cost more than the average hotel stay, there are ways to make the trip more accessible. Guests with theHilton Honors American Express Surpass Cardcan earn points on all purchases, including 4x Hilton Honors Bonus Points, on U.S. online retail purchases — which can help them enjoy a pampering, sleep-filled vacation sooner.
