Planning The Perfect Girlfriend Getaway

Maybe it’s been forever since you’ve been away with your friends. Or maybe you and your squad have standing vacation dates on the books every single year. Either way, we’re sharing girlfriends’ getaway ideas and tips for planning a spa weekend (or week!) that will have you all shouting, “BEST. TRIP. EVER!”

Great Expectations

One of your friends desperately wants a Hydrafacial. Another has been curious about exploring wellness treatments inspired by Eastern Medicine. So, as a first step, it’s important to nail down everyone’s desires and do your research to find a spa that does it all.

Map It Out

The whole world is your oyster… until you check international airfares. Choosing a centrally located, highly respected spa resort for your girls’ getaway means you’re just a road trip or a short flight away from pure bliss with your besties.

Beyond Spa

Even if you each plan to book multiple spa treatments over the span of your trip, there’s still time to consider between appointments. Your best bet is to stay in a resort that offers a complete collection of coveted amenities and daily activities. Think: acclaimed on-site dining, state-of-the-art fitness offerings, abundant recreation (did anyone say pickleball?) and fun things to do in the surrounding area. Because, even when your accommodations are AAA Four-Diamond-rated, you don’t just want to sit in your room.

Dreamy Downtime

That said, you don’t need to fill every single moment of every single day with a frenzy of activity. Remember, this is a spa weekend so it’s all about rest and relaxation. Lounging poolside with a can’t-put-down beach read in one hand and a frozen cocktail or mocktail in the other is your right (and obligation!).

Bundle It Up

Rather than taking an a la carte approach to your girls’ getaway, savvy spa-goers know to book an inclusive stay package that bundles your accommodations, spa treatments and other resort perks. Because you and your friends deserve it all!
