There’s something so special about a trip with your favorite girls! Whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette trip, a birthday, a milestone, or just need a break from everyday life, a girls’ trip is the perfect excuse to unwind and catch up with your best friends!

Virgin Voyages Cruise

Two women share a sunny meal on a boat deck, cocktails and bowls of food in front of them.

Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line that has taken a different approach to cruising! Instead of feeling like a traditional family vacation, it’s stylish, social, and a little more grown-up, making it the perfect cruise line for you and your girls. As a self-proclaimed foodie, this cruise line caught my eye because, instead of traditional cruise buffets and formal dining rooms, Virgin offers a variety of included restaurants with elevated, globally inspired menus. There are no main dining rooms or set dining times, so your group can eat when and where you want. Cruising is especially great if your girls have different definitions of fun. Whether your perfect trip is all about pool days and cocktails, spa time and brunch, nightlife, or exploring new destinations, everyone can customize their experience while still traveling together on what feels like a unique and trendy floating boutique hotel.

 

All-Inclusive Beach Trip

Having everything taken care of so you can turn your brain off? Yes, please! On an all-inclusive girls’ trip, the biggest decisions are the fun ones: which swimsuit to wear, what to dress in for dinner, and what cocktail to sip by the pool. With everything taken care of—from unlimited food and drinks to beautiful beaches and plenty of ways to relax and have fun—you can focus on making memories with your favorite girls!
I asked my colleague (and Caribbean expert), Sierra, which tropical resorts she recommends for a girls’ trip. Here’s what she had to say:

  • For a “turn-up” and social vibe: Breathless Montego Bay
  • For relaxation, foodies, and luxury lovers: Atelier Playa Mujeres
  • For the girls on a budget: Riu Palace Paradise Island
  • For good entertainment and an on-property casino: Hard Rock Punta Cana

 

Wine Valley Getaway

Two women pick grapes in a sunny vineyard, holding a basket among grapevines.

A wine valley girls’ trip is all about sipping your way through beautiful vineyards, enjoying long lunches, exploring nearby towns, and making memories with friends. Instead of going to just any wine region, we recommend choosing somewhere that offers more than just wineries. Think great restaurants, charming towns, shopping, relaxing spas, nature hikes, and beautiful scenery all packed into one destination! Some of our top recommendations are Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Tuscany, Douro Valley, Bordeaux, and if your girls prefer champagne, well… Champagne!

 

Nature Adventure

This is for our travelers who truly want to get out and experience a destination. Soak up the sun on the beach, spot incredible wildlife, zipline through the rainforest, hop on an ATV, or simply take time to relax in the hot springs and enjoy the beauty around you. If this sounds like the vibe for your girls’ trip, here are our top destinations:

  • For wildlife lovers and adventure seekers: Costa Rica
  • For beach lovers who crave adventure: St. Lucia
  • For those wanting a more immersive and cultural experience: Thailand
