Hi,
What destination do you recommend to the sims ?
San Myshuno, Sulani, Mt. Komorebi, Tartosa, Henford-on-Bagley or maybe Chestnut Ridge ?

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI like taking couples there for a few-day break from their kids, i think Glimmerbrook is a really relaxing area. I like the woods and is a good alternative to Granite Falls if you want a break from visiting there
for example if you live in moonwood mill would you really feel granite falls is exciting travel destination eh not really
at least I don't since i live in forest granite falls just looks like slightly more scenic backyard
then again i tend to feel sulani selvadorada and mt.komorebi are different to most other worlds we have
so those are probably most used for vacations
i also feel it depends on what worlds ive already built ready to go
like Tartosa could be tourist destination
if I had not completely bulldozed and forgot about it
maybe some day in future

In my gameplay, I take my sim family on vacation at least once per season.
I enjoy taking my sim family to Granite Falls to camp together and participate in family bonding. Typically with families I will go to my "campground" lot and have them set up tents, the portable game table, throw horseshoes, fish, look for frogs, and swim (my campground lot has a pool that appears as a pond). If I don't go to the campground, I utilize my "Little Jackalope Camp" lot and pretend my families are going so my sim's kids can earn their scout badges.
When I take families to Selvadorada, I always plan out a couple days worth of activities. One day is almost always dedicated to experiencing the Selvadoradian culture by visiting the town and eating local cuisine, visit the "marketplace" to buy exploration gear and souvenirs. The other day is typically dedicated to exploring the jungle as a family.
Okay, Mt. Komorebi is one of my favorite destinations when I have kids in the family! I always prioritize meeting Yamachan and participating the in festival that is going on that weekend which usually ends up being the snow festival though I make a point to also go during the youth festival as well. I like to have one day where the family is experiencing the culture in the town, and another day to hit the slopes!
I really like to go to Sulani as a "spring break" vacation to get my sims ready for hot weather. When my sim family is in Sulani I typically plan one beach day, and one day to other activities Sulani has to offer like go snorkeling, volunteer on the island and pick up trash, fish, try local cuisine, etc. I just wish the game would provide notifications of the Sulani events because I would go those if I knew they were happening. I used to have a mod that gave notifications, but I ended up taking it out.
Then I have a slightly different list for honeymoon destinations.
I have my sim couples stay at a resort lot I have in Tartosa to relax by the pool, take advantage of the spa packages, eat poolside while enjoying live music, etc.
Instead of camping, I have my sims couples rent a cabin and the vacation is more relaxing in nature. I also take advantage of the restaurant lot I have in Granite Falls during honeymoons.
Again, my sims couples focus more on the relaxing activities during honeymoons. They'll visit the spa lot, always visit the waterfall area, and eat at the romantic restaurant lot I have placed on the water.
I know my list is a little more detailed than some others, but I really love vacations in the Sims.
But we travel a lot and to not see all the main vacation worlds all over again we got a bit creative and placed 'places of interest' in less frequented worlds.
Like the Tandoori Palace (a yoga retreat) and the Jedi Temple in Evergreen Harbor, for example.
Or Saarburg (right pic below). But we also like to take short trips to other unusual vacation spots. Like Copperdale
Or San Myshuno
Or place a campsite somewhere. Like here in Henford-on-Bagley.
Moonwood Mill is beautiful in winter.
And Mount Komorebi in autumn.
What we avoided so far are Glimmerbrook and Granite Falls because we can't swim there. But that's maybe an idea for the next vacation and we build a natural pool or sth like this.

For relaxing
Tartosa : a relax Mediterranean environment brings back memories
Sulani: the world is so beautiful and always warm
For an active vacation
Mt Komorebi : taking long walks in nature and up mountains is something I love doing in real life and in sims
Selvadorada : I love sending sims in the jungle for adventure
Henford on Bagley : I just returned from a trip to the UK so Henford seems like a nice place to go
Is it actually possible to send sims to San Myshuno for a vacation? I’ve long wanted to be able to send sims there for weekend city breaks, but I didn’t think you could make any of the apartments into rentals. If anyone can tell me a way round this, that would be great!
I believe the apartments that are set as penthouses on top of buildings can be set as rentals as they are their own lots.
Thanks @crocobaura But are they quite expensive to rent? As they’re kind of luxury accommodation I would assume they’d be out of reach for a lot of my sims. And ideally I would like them to stay in normal apartments, not penthouses. But if penthouses are the only way, then I’ll have to work with it.
I realised I didn't actually respond to the OP's question... My answer overlaps with others here. I take my sims to all those destinations depending on where they currently live and what season it is. Of the worlds listed, I use Sulani, Tartosa and Mt Komorebi the most, for the obvious sunshine/beach holidays vs. winter sports holidays. Maybe Henford feels a bit too much like home for me to send many sims there (I live in the UK)
All the penthouses where you can bulldoze the walls can be changed into any lot type, same as houses on the ground. I made a restaurant in one of them. The apartments can't be changed, but the lots on top of buildings aka penthouses, can be changed and you can make them look like they are part of the building.
My favourite all year place is Selvadorada. Granite Falls in spring/summer/autumn. Most places are uninhabitable for me in winter XD My real home is cold enough during that time, don't need my sims to freeze as well.
I miss TS3 World Adventures immensely.

I have a rental on the penthouse lot in the art district. It is great for a city trip type of vacation.
I also turned some of the rentals into residential lots. If I can use a rental lot for something else, then I don't hesitate to change it.
The only problem with that is that without a rental lot you can't actually take a vacation in that world. I discovered this when I realized that I have no rentals anymore in Sulani. All my sims travel all over the place and they usually stay at community lots where I incorporated a bedroom or two, but if they want to take a vacation, then you do need to have a rental. Would be so much nicer is we could just plop a tent on the ground and call it a camping vacation.
