Instead of “enjoy your time off,” you can say “enjoy your break,” “have a great break,” or “enjoy your time away.” The best wording depends on whether the person is taking annual leave, a short break, or simply some well-earned downtime.

Enjoy your break
A simple, natural alternative that works for a short break from work, study, or another routine.
Have a great break
Friendly and slightly more upbeat. It is a good all-purpose choice for colleagues, classmates, and friends.
Enjoy your time away
Useful when someone will be away from work for several days or longer. It does not assume whether they are traveling or staying home.
Have a relaxing break
Choose this when rest is likely to be the main purpose of the time off. It sounds warm without being overly personal.
Hope you get some good rest
A caring option for someone who has been busy, tired, or under pressure. It is more personal than a standard workplace sign-off.
Enjoy your well-earned break
This adds recognition that the person deserves some downtime. It suits a supportive colleague or manager when the tone is friendly.
Make the most of your time off
An upbeat phrase that encourages the person to enjoy the break however they choose. It works best in casual or friendly professional messages.
Have a great vacation
A natural American English option when the person is taking vacation leave, especially for travel or a longer planned break.
Enjoy your holiday
A common British English choice for annual leave or a trip. In American English, “holiday” more often refers to a public or festive holiday.
Take care and enjoy the break
A warm closing line that combines a general good wish with the message to enjoy time away.
Hope you have a restful time off
A gentle option when you specifically want to wish the person rest and recovery rather than excitement or travel.
Vacation, Holiday, or Break?
Use “vacation” for planned time away in American English, “holiday” for the equivalent in British English, and “break” when you want a neutral term that works in either variety.
