This is a great practical suggestion. You can also look into resort vacations with kid's clubs. You could have a great vacation that combines family time and alone time and couple time as long as you have the right resources available there. It costs a bit more but is cheaper than bringing a nanny on vacation!

Another option we have used with a child too young for sleep away camp is to visit our parents in the summer and enroll DC isn a camp near them, and then also go out in the evenings after DC goes to bed at the grandparents house (sometimes we stay with grandparents, sometimes at a nearby AirBnB). We have done several working vacations this way, and DC loves the time at camp and extra time with grandparents, but it also enables us a little bit more free time and independence because while our parents aren't the sort to be able to take our kid for a few days or even a true overnight, they can certainly hang out with DC for a couple hours in the evening and can be a responsible adult sitter while DC is sleeping (we don't go far when we go out).
