Sick of the same “let’s just go shopping” trips?
Tired of planning, and no one commits?
Or maybe you’ve tried booking a trip before, only to realize half the group ghosts you the week before.
Yeah, we’ve all been there.
So, I created this guide for real women who want a solid girls’ getaway — no fluff, no BS.
You want something fun. Safe. Insta-worthy. Easy to get to.
And maybe a place where you can drink mimosas by noon and no one’s judging you.
Let’s get into it — these are the Best Girl’s Getaway Destinations in the U.S. (plus a few epic international spots) that are worth your money and PTO.
If your crew loves live music, bar-hopping, and brunch, this is your move.
Nashville is the Disneyland of girls getaways.
You can hit Broadway Street for live country bands and rooftop cocktails.
Then recover with hot chicken, pancakes at The Pancake Pantry, or a bougie spa day at the Ritz.
- Easy to fly into
- Affordable Airbnb options
- No one’s ever bored here

2. Sedona, Arizona
This is where you go if your group says stuff like:
“I just need to reset. Let’s do yoga and wine.”
Sedona’s all about nature, healing, and jaw-dropping desert views.
You’ve got energy vortexes, Jeep tours, crystal shops, and luxury resorts like L’Auberge de Sedona.
It’s ideal for:
- Spiritual girlies
- Nature lovers
- Instagram addicts (those red rocks pop in every pic)
Want to unplug and reconnect? This one’s for you.
3. Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston is like walking through Pinterest.
Colorful homes. Hidden courtyards. Shrimp & grits.
Your squad can stay in a cute Airbnb near King Street, go on a ghost tour, hit up the beach at Folly Island, and shop local boutiques.
Bonus: You’ll eat so well here it’s not even funny.
And if you’re a foodie group? Double win.
4. New York City, New York
Some girls want a spa.
Others want to shop, see a musical, and eat bagels while walking to Central Park.
NYC is your move.
You don’t need a car. You can take an Uber or use the subway.
Stay in Midtown, hit a Broadway show, eat bottomless brunch in the West Village, and walk the High Line.
Here’s a tip:
Split a suite and go high-end for one night.
Then balance the rest with budget spots — you’ll feel bougie but smart.
5. Miami, Florida
Miami is chaos in the best way.
This is the spot if your crew wants:
- Beach + party
- Great Latin food
- Killer shopping
- Nightlife that goes till sunrise
Stay in South Beach or Wynwood if you want murals and culture with your mojitos.
Just a warning: don’t bring boring friends to Miami.
It’s go big or go home here.
6. Palm Springs, California
Palm Springs is where you go to lay out by the pool with a cocktail and not move much.
Cute retro hotels, colorful doors, mountain views, and all the sun.
Book a mid-century Airbnb with a private pool and go full influencer mode.
Pro tip:
- Go in spring or fall. Summer = 110° death.
- Book a spa day at Two Bunch Palms or The Parker.
Want to feel like you’re in a Lana Del Rey music video? Book this one.
7. Savannah, Georgia
Old-school Southern vibes. Walkable downtown. Riverfront wine nights.
Savannah’s got that “let’s just stroll and chat for 3 hours” feel.
It’s also got open container laws downtown. Yes, you can legally drink wine on the street.
Go for:
- Cute cafés
- Trolley tours
- Local art
- Old trees + history
Very chill. Very pretty. Very under-rated.
8. Tulum, Mexico
Tulum has become the go-to destination for girls’ trips in Mexico for a reason.
Think eco-chic villas, beach clubs, cenotes (those jungle swimming holes), and a million Instagrammable smoothie bowls.
Here’s the thing:
Tulum can get expensive if you opt for a whole influencer experience.
But it’s also so relaxing if you want sun, sand, and spa.

9. Las Vegas, Nevada
Vegas is the no-judgment zone for girls’ weekends.
Spa during the day. Champagne brunch. Pool party. Club. Sleep. Repeat.
You don’t have to gamble.
There’s plenty to do if you’re not into casinos.
Book at Cosmopolitan or The Venetian for stylish stays.
Or go on a budget and spend more on shows, food, and outfits.
Either way, plan your nights out in advance. You don’t want to waste energy deciding what to do at 10 PM.
10. Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada
Maybe your idea of fun isn’t a beach.
Maybe it’s snow, cabins, and hot chocolate.
Lake Tahoe offers a variety of activities for both summer and winter.
In winter:
- Ski or snowboard
- Hot tub nights
- Cabin wine vibes
In summer:
- Paddleboarding
- Lake swims
- Beach bonfires
It’s peaceful, scenic, and makes for a memorable weekend with your closest friends.
Girls Getaway Tips That Save Time & Money
Here’s how I’ve made girls’ trips happen:
- Pick a leader: Someone needs to book stuff. Otherwise, it won’t happen.
- Set a budget early: No surprises. Know what everyone can afford.
- Use Splitwise: Track who pays what. No drama.
- Group chat = chaos. Use a Google Doc or Notion to plan.
Also, always book at least one “everyone’s down” activity, like a dinner or spa day. That way, even the flaky friend joins at some point.
My Favorite Girls Trip Memories
- We stayed in a pink Airbnb in Palm Springs and spent 2 days by the pool, ordering tacos.
- In Nashville, we met a country singer who gave us free drinks because “y’all look like trouble.”
- We got matching robes in Sedona and didn’t speak for 3 hours after our massage — bliss.
Point is — the place matters, but the people matter more.
Choose the right crew, and even a random town can feel like Paris.
