Are any of you ladies still feeling the impact of recent events? Have you missed “Girls’ Night Out”? If you’re in the US and are looking to once more enjoy a weekend gals’ getaway or vixens’ vacation, then keep reading. We have compiled several ideas for you. Thus, without further ado, here are the best destinations for a girls’ weekend in the US.
Best Destinations For A Girls’ Weekend In The US
1. The Florida Keys, Florida
The popular Florida Keys and Key West are reported to be perfect getaway spots for girlfriends. It’s a favorite travel destination because it has something for everyone. In fact, even a road trip to the Florida Keys can be great fun.
Veteran visitors can confirm that when you’re there you feel like you’re “a million miles away” from the US. It has an incredible Caribbean feel. Oh, and let’s not forget that the Florida Keys are just a short drive from Miami, or a brief direct flight right into Key West.
There are no more restrictions. The beaches are wide open, as are the restaurants and bars. You can even stay on a boat!
2Palm Springs, California
Some travel writers say desert travel is the new thing now. Visitors like knowing they’re going somewhere that is always warm, rain-free, and promotes relaxing poolside with a cocktail in your hand. Perhaps that’s why the desert resort city Palm Springs is a regular hot spot now. While it may be considered a retirement location, it is also a well-known winter snowbird destination. If you’re looking for upscale accommodations, book rooms at the popular Parker Palm Springs or just rent an entire house.
3Joshua Tree, California
The trendy desert escape Joshua Tree is nestled in the Coachella Valley. It’s less than half an hour out of popular Palm Springs. If you and your friends are athletic sorts, you can go hiking in the popular national park of the same name.
You can explore Joshua Tree Village, relax by the pool and soak up some sun, or even cruise into nearby Palm Springs. Joshua Tree may be ruggedly natural, but it offers some beautiful, unique accommodations. You can stay at SkyHouse Joshua Tree. Rent the entire place, three bedrooms, and two baths, which can accommodate up to six people.
4Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston was founded in the 1600s. It’s famous for its architecture, Southern hospitality, and burgeoning food scene. Highlights here include Folly Beach, Fort Sumter (where the infamous Civil War actually began), Charleston Harbor and Waterfront Park, and Rainbow Row.
There’s also the memorable Isle of Palms. Don’t forget to dine at the highly-praised restaurant, FIG, either. If you would prefer a hotel instead of an airbnb, consider the Belmond, the Zero George, or The Hotel Bennett which may or may not offer discounts to lady travel bloggers and their attractive friends. If you want a remote weekend getaway, consider Kiawah Island.
5Napa Valley, California
You’ll find nothing to (ahem) whine about in California’s colorful grapevine-covered hills known as Napa Valley. This wine region is famous around the world. But to be fair, it offers visitors more than winery gardens and a taste of the grape.
The Napa Valley includes five different towns that all offer travelers something special, be it boutique shopping, hiking trails, hot springs, or world-class fine dining. Feeling athletic? Rent bicycles and go explore all of the lovely local backroads.
Taste the wine at such places as Artesa, Castello di Amarosa, Del Dotto, or Duckhorn. The best time to visit is during harvest season (the late summer or early fall.) Unsure about where to stay? Consider Alcobas Napa Valley, Auberge Du Soleil, or Villagio.
6Austin, Texas
Reportedly Texas’ coolest city, Austin is also the “Live Music Capital of the World.” This is a great place for a girls’ weekend if you enjoy award-winning cuisine, a college-influenced nightlife, and live concerts. If you go there during the warmer months, you can check out Zilker Park.
It has a world-class botanical garden, the beautiful Barton Springs Pool, and Lady Bird Lake where you can go kayaking or canoeing. Don’t forget the popular 6th Street entertainment district full of restaurants and bars. Girls who’ve gone wild recommend staying at the boutique hotel known as the South Congress Hotel found in the surprisingly chic South Congress district. If you’re booking accommodations for a bachelorette party, you might also want to consider an airbnb.
