Plan the ultimate girls getaway to reconnect with your besties by escaping to an idyllic locale where the vibes are chill, fun is made easy, and there’s plenty of adventures and R&R to bond over. Though the options may seem endless on where to host your next girlfriend getaway, I’m breaking down my top 5 destination picks for an epic girls trip.
First up - Austin, Texas. With its unofficial motto of “Keep Austin Weird”, quirky live music venues, funky mural-lined streets, Tex-Mex flavors and famous barbecue, Austin brings the fun and the friend vibes. Parties rage along Sixth Street downtown or escape to Barton Springs natural pool for a refreshing dip.
For beach bum besties, I suggest Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Relax plush resort pools by day then hit trendy restaurants and artisan cocktail bars by night, with lots of spa sessions and water activities sandwiched between. The lively LGBTQ+ scene offers vibrant nightlife options. And don’t miss strolling PV’s charming cobblestone Malecon boardwalk flanked by picturesque beaches with the perfect margarita in hand.
Outdoorsy girl gangs will fall hard for mountainous Asheville, North Carolina. Between hiking trails, microbreweries and farm-to-table fare from Appalachia’s food and artist mecca, there’s no shortage of nature and culture. Unwind at one of Asheville’s historic retro spa resorts after long days browsing galleries and antique shops.
For a truly epic bonding experience, gather your soul sisters deep in nature’s wonderland with a glamping getaway inside one of America’s breathtaking National Parks like Utah’s Mighty Five or the Grand Canyon. Days filled chasing waterfalls then cozying up around fire pits with hot toddies under starry skies at night. Perfection.
Lastly, the quintessential girlfriend pilgrimage remains Bourbon Street in lively New Orleans. This walkable food and music paradise entices with beignets at Cafe Du Monde, Hand Grenade cocktails from Tropical Isle, and late night revelry fueled by Cajun cuisine. Just prepare for debauchery, dancing and memories to last a lifetime with your ride-or-dies!
Wherever your girlfriends roam, the magic is making unforgettable memories together. But choosing from these action-packed destinations guarantees good times for your next reunion they’ll be gushing about for years.
