After my son turned 2, I mustered up the courage to go on a girls’ trip with my best friend (it was hard to leave my toddler for the first time!). And in my post-kid era, it was quickly apparent that planning a trip for adults is very different from planning one that includes children. With kids, especially young kids, traveling becomes way more strategic, like coordinating how to board the plane, timing bathroom breaks to avoid any diaper and potty mishaps, and more. When it’s just adults, the most logistical part is making sure everyone’s schedules align. So, after several years without a kid-free vacay, planning the best girls’ trip destination was much needed. My trip was not only fun and relaxing, but I also had the best (uninterrupted) sleep in years!
Here, I’m sharing the best girls’ trip destinations to take with your best girls. The best part? All of these trips are places our very own editors have taken, and I’m breaking them down based on what type of vacation you’re aiming for. Our editors are sharing their personal recommendations on where to stay, where to dine, what to do, and so much more. If you’ve found yourself here, take this as a sign to book the trip with your friends, your mom, your cousins, or anyone who’s in need of a holiday!
Editor’s Note: Before traveling, stay up-to-date on current travel advisory levels based on the location of your destination.

How to Narrow Down a Girls’ Trip Destination
Whether it’s your first or tenth girls’ trip to date, nailing down a travel destination can either be easy or difficult for some. I’ve found one of the best ways to narrow down a getaway spot is to discuss what type of vibe you’re going for. Are you looking for a relaxing vacation that entails sitting by the pool, cozied up with a book? Or are you going for more adventure-filled fun with hiking and exploring the city? From destinations that explore city life to tropical vacays, keep scrolling for the best girls’ trips.
Destinations That Explore City Life
New York, New York
New York City had been on my bucket list for years and, after having kids, I decided it would be my first kid-free vacay. I loved it so much that I visited separately with my best friend and sister within a one-year time span in the springtime. There’s so much to do in the city that never sleeps—I have yet to visit the Statue of Liberty and Chinatown. After all, I plan on going back to continue exploring. I will add that while New York is known for its hustle and bustle, it was surprisingly relaxing, and I absolutely loved the one-on-one time with my best friend and sister!
Where to stay
A Brooklyn Airbnb or the Hyatt Grand Central New York for easy access to Grand Central Station.
What to do
When planning our trip, we made a long list of things we wanted to do and the sites we wanted to see the most. However, we didn’t put pressure on ourselves to see everything. The beauty of visiting New York City is seeing where it takes you. Stumbling into the cutest shops and sites along the way was my favorite part. Although we did map out the areas we wanted to stay in beforehand. Other favorite activities were running through Central Park, visiting Chelsea Market, walking through Brooklyn Heights, catching a Broadway show, and spending the day at the American Museum of Natural History. And if you want to catch a comedy show, I highly recommend getting tickets as soon as you book your trip to The World Famous Comedy Cellar.
Editor’s picks on where to dine
- L’Appartmement 4F: A romantic coffee shop with French pastries in Brooklyn Heights.
- Talea Beer Co.: A women-owned brewery with multiple locations throughout the city.
- Juliette Restaurant: The cutest (and Instagrammable) French-American restaurant located in Williamsburg—the food was to die for!
- Jack’s Wife Freda: An American-Mediterranean cafe with amazing eats and ambience.
Chicago, Illinois
Experience the best deep-dish pizza and the iconic Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois. Video Content Editor Kaia took a three-day trip to Chicago, Illinois, with five of her friends during the wintertime. She says you can’t forget to dine at Armitage Alehouse in Lincoln Park for their amazing food and cozy atmosphere. Take the train around the city or travel on foot. Kaia’s number one tip is not to schedule too many activities. With so much to do and explore, spontaneity is your friend!
Where to stay
Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile or Thompson Chicago by Hyatt (plus, so many other great options—just stay downtown for easy walkability to tons of fun things!).
What to do
If you’ve never been to Chicago, see the stunning city views and Lake Michigan from 360 Chicago, an observation deck that sits 1,030 feet above the Magnificent Mile. And if your friends are bibliophiles, visit the gorgeous Barnes & Noble in Wicker Park. To commemorate your trip, stop by the Alice & Wonder hat bar on State Street, where you can hand-pick patches to iron on a hat (so cute!) and shop lots of other girly Chicago merch.

Plus, the city of Charleston proves it’s a lovely destination for a 24-hour trip or a longer stay, as our Assistant Editor Madigan experienced it in one day and Junior Sales Manager Brooke visited this charming city over four. Brooke’s number one tip is to stay in a boutique hotel or an Airbnb located downtown.

If you’re wondering when to go, our editors visited in the summer and springtime.

What to do
According to Madigan, Charleston is a city that’s perfect to get lost in, especially in Charleston’s French Quarter. It’s also important to note that the food scene in Charleston is to die for. So, if you’re a foodie, eating your way through all the fantastic restaurants downtown is highly encouraged. Coffee lovers will also appreciate our editors’ coffee shop recommendations, too. When you need a morning or midday pick-me-up, stop by Harken Cafe, The Daily, Babas on Cannon, Second State, and The Rise (which is the most Instagrammable location). Don’t forget to stop by Folly Beach for an afternoon of sun and spot dolphins on a boardwalk at Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant.

Sunshine, Coastal Vibes & Beachy Getaways
Saugatuck, Michigan
For a weekend getaway, Michigan native and Editorial Intern Rebecca recommends heading to Saugatuck, Michigan, in the late spring or early summertime. It’s important to note that peak season is in the summer, but our editor points out that the month of May is not as hot or crowded. This quaint town has award-winning beaches and is known for its art scene. Its location is close to well-known Michigan beach towns like Douglas, Grand Haven, Holland, and South Haven. And for Emily Henry fans, Saugatuck is one of the beach towns that inspired the author’s well-loved novel, Beach Read. Rebecca highly recommends taking an evening stroll along the boat dock that takes you through the main park.
Where to stay
Rent an Airbnb or stay at The Wickwood Inn, a charming bed and breakfast with scenic waterfront views.

San Francisco, California
Sales and Events Associate, Albany, and a friend took a quick getaway to San Francisco, California, in the springtime to enjoy the City by the Bay, located in the northern part of the region. She was able to soak in as much as she could in two days! The city is known for its steep hills, Victorian architectural homes, and its abundance of activities. Albany says to be prepared for the significant weather differences across the city. Even on a sunny day, it gets chilly and windy. She recommends wearing lightweight clothes but keeping a jacket handy.
Where to stay
Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf, Fairmont San Francisco, or stay in an Airbnb.
What to do
If you’re visiting San Francisco, experience the Golden Gate Bridge by taking a bike ride across this iconic landmark. It’s also a must to eat in San Francisco’s Chinatown, one of the oldest Chinatowns in North America, especially if you love Asian cuisine.
And for millennials who grew up watching the nostalgic family sitcom Full House, it would be remiss not stop by the show’s iconic Victorian home. For the history buffs, take a ferry to experience a day or night tour of the island of Alcatraz, which served as a military and federal prison back in the day. Other activities Albany recommends are visiting Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf, taking a ferry to the beautiful coastal city of Sausalito, vintage shopping in Haight-Ashbury, and walking down the famous crooked street, Lombard Street.

Social Media Assistant Lauren took the ultimate mother-daughter trip with her mom and sister to Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. It’s a location to have on your radar if you need a place that’s sunny all year round. The three visited in the month of January!

After their incredible visit to the spa, they walked over to The Bench, a restaurant overlooking the ocean, for a late lunch. Make sure you set time aside (ideally late afternoon before sunset) to just wander downtown Carmel. There are so many fun art galleries, coffee shops, and souvenir stores to explore. After a little shopping, walk down to the beach to watch the sunset.

Tropical Resorts
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
For almost a decade, Senior Editor Kathy, along with her cousins and sister-in-law, has made a girls’ trip an annual tradition. Their absolute favorite getaway is in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and if you have a big group, you’ll be happy to know that there are seven to nine people in their group who make this trip every year! In fact, they love this vacation spot so much that they’ve been back multiple times. Almost all the girls live in the Midwest, so it’s the perfect option if you want to escape the winter. Four nights and five days will give you the right amount of sunshine before you head back home—if this is the vibe you’re going for.
Where to stay
What to do
Kathy wants you to know that with 17 kids between the girls in her group, they really lean into this trip as a time for relaxation. They spend their days reading beside the pool with afternoon nibbles and cocktails, followed by fun dinners out. It’s a splurge, for sure, but it feels like a reward and a reset. So, schedule spa appointments, enjoy your time, and she highly recommends booking the Cabo Blue catamaran boat ride to spot whales and dolphins.
Editor’s picks on where to dine
- Cocina del Mar: For a more casual Mexican dinner option at Esperanza, this is one of the onsite restaurants.
- Torote Restaurant at Valle Del Sole: For an intimate farm-to-table dinner (with a petting zoo on-site!).
- Flora Farms: Enjoy gorgeous farm-to-table dining with some shops to pop into before eating dinner as the sun sets. Sit in the gardens and spot hummingbirds. Kathy adds that it is a bit of a drive from Esperanza.
- Acre Restaurant & Cocktail Bar: A beautiful farm-to-table dining option with mango and citrus trees. The food is fresh, and it’s a true culinary experience.
Desert Chic and Hikable Stays
Palm Springs, California
Commerce Editor Alina took a girls’ trip for three to Palm Springs, California. This chic desert getaway is a little over 100 miles east of Los Angeles. Palm Springs is known for its modern architecture, luxury spas, and for hosting well-known musical festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach. If you’re visiting with your best girlfriends, spend some time hiking, shopping, and, of course, eating.
Where to stay
What to do
Our commerce editor hiked the Andreas Canyon Trails, followed by a patio brunch at a restaurant called Farm, which serves French cuisine. Alina says the drive to Desert Hills Premium Outlets is worth it if you’re looking for designer pieces. While she didn’t make it to The Integratron’s Signature Experience for a sound bath, she’s put it on the top of her list the next time she visits.
Editor’s pick on where to dine
- Bar Cecil: Alina says to make your reservation for this Michelin-recognized restaurant as soon as you book your trip. Bar Cecil serves French-American cuisine.
Joshua Tree in San Bernardino County, California
If you’re looking for a girls’ vacation to get you out of the winter slumps and freezing weather and into blue skies, sunshine, and some Vitamin D, our Brand Design Lead, Caitlin, took a five-day trip with her three friends to Joshua Tree in San Bernardino County, California (during the month of February). The iconic Joshua Trees are what make this desert vacay a unique choice. It’s perfect if your vibe is all for hiking, stargazing, and wanting to appreciate the arts. For an added tip, she and her friends landed at LAX and rented a car to make the two-hour road trip to the Joshua Tree community. Before heading out, she recommends grabbing lunch at Botanica and making a pit stop at the Silverlake Flea Market and at an Erewhon Supermarket if you need to stock up on necessities and supplies for your rental.
Where to stay
With so many rental options, Caitlin recommends finding a rental home for your entire party through Airbnb or Vrbo.
What to do
A tourist attraction that’s totally worth the wellness experience, according to Caitlin, is The Integratron Sound Bath. And to continue on with the wellness energy, Caitlin and her friends also booked a masseuse to come to their Airbnb, in which she says it was one of her favorite experiences. She added, “It felt very fancy, but it was nice to relax, eat breakfast, and read while the others got a private massage!”
If you’re an avid hiker, you’ll love the 49 Palms Canyon hike in Joshua Tree National Park. It’s about a three-mile hike total, fairly difficult, steep, and in direct sunlight. This mostly desert terrain leads to an oasis of 49 palm trees tucked into the desert valley. The Crochet Museum was a quick and quirky stop, but also a spot worth seeing. This tiny museum is jam-packed with crocheted items—a must-see if you love grandma hobbies.
Editor’s pick on where to dine
- La Copine: The perfect lunch spot post sound bath! The beignets with lemon glaze were a favorite. You’ll definitely want to book your reservation far in advance.
- Más o Menos: The cutest cocktail and coffee bar that Caitlin went to multiple times throughout her trip because she couldn’t get enough! It’s a must for their drinks and relaxing atmosphere. Plus, they have a large outdoor patio and a photobooth (the perfect memento). Their go-to drink was their matcha with lavender.
Mountain Views and Small-Town Feels
Hood River, Oregon
If you’re looking for a vintage stay with all the vibes of the Pacific Northwest, Social Media Editor Lex says the perfect place for a girls’ vacay is in Hood River, Oregon, over a three- to four-day period. This small town in the springtime is absolutely gorgeous with cherry blossoms, and in the fall, it’s the perfect leaf-peeping getaway—think Gilmore Girls-esque with all the Stars Hollow feels. With how small this town is, it’s surprising that there is any nightlife—and Lex’s favorite part of going out at night in Hood River is that it feels super safe. If you stay downtown, all of the best drinks and food in town are within walking distance, so it’s easy to get back to your hotel after a late night out. From wine tasting and craft breweries to hikes with waterfalls, don’t let Hood River go under your radar.
Where to stay
Hood River Hotel, Lightwell Hotel + Spa, or head five minutes across the Hood River Bridge in Bingen, Washington, and book your stay at The Society Hotel.
What to do
Walk along the waterfront for more restaurants and scenic views of the gorge, and watch kite-surfers do their thing. Lex also recommends hiking the gorge. Multnomah Falls is always a must-see, but nearby, there’s a whole stretch of other waterfalls and hikes of varying difficulty to check out. You can also take a scenic ride through the valley with the Mount Hood Railroad. Or check out all the cute shops, bookstores, and cafes downtown. And if you love music, The Ruins, an outdoor music venue, might have a concert for you to catch while you’re there. For those who decide to stay at the Hood River Hotel, you can enjoy the jazz nights in the lobby on Saturdays.
Editors’ pick on where to dine
- Evoke Winery: A cheeky, local wine brand that has a fun little tasting room downtown.
- Full Sail Brew Pub: One of the first microbreweries to bottle its beer for retail sale in the Pacific Northwest. Sit on the deck and enjoy a flight of all their famous brews.
- Whiskey Tango: Usually the most happening place in Hood River; they often have live music, DJs, karaoke nights, and a delicious happy hour menu.
- Broder Øst: located inside Hood River Hotel is the cutest Scandinavian brunch spot (Get the Danish pancakes!).
- River Daze Café: This place has the best breakfast sandwich in town. They make all of their bread in-house, and you can purchase a bag of their famous English muffins to take home, too.
- Mike’s Ice Cream: A family-friendly ice cream shop. Make sure to keep up with their Instagram for their seasonal hours.
An Amusement Park Girls’ Trip
Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida

Snag a treat or a drink as you make your way through countries like Japan, Mexico, Norway, and more. Take a Sangria class and splurge on a higher-end resort and relax by the poolside.

Account Manager Maddi visited the cities of Paris and Nice in France over a nine-day period with three of her friends in October. If you want to romanticize a vacation, this is it!

In the daytime, see the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées and snap a quick photo. If you’re up for a riverboat tour on the Seine, book a night tour with Bateaux Mouches and witness all the monuments lit up in the evening. And if you’re into French skincare, Maddi recommends stopping by a pharmacy for brands like Cauldalie, Avene, and Bioderma, for a fraction of the price you see in the U.S. To get the best photo ops of the Eiffel Tower, Maddi suggests stopping at the following streets and places: Avenue de New York, Rue De L’Université, Trocadero, Champ de Mars, and Avenue de Camoens.
