Top 10 Destinations for a Girls’ Trip

1. A Luxury Villa in Mexico with a Private Chef

You and your crew will feel like royalty on this vacation! How does a beachfront 6 bedroom, 6 bath luxury villa with a pool like this one in Tulum sound? There are several cities in Mexico where you can enjoy this type of experience. It doesn’t get more relaxing than having your own private (huge) space with your best friends with every need catered to. Enjoy huevos made to order for breakfast. Then, stroll down to the beach and slide into a kayak that comes with your villa.

Your private luxury villa in Mexico is ready for your ultimate girls’ getaway!

Later on, rally everyone to tour Mayan ruins and dive into a beautiful cenote. Don’t forget to hit the nightlife in town. Private villas vary in price, so get in touch with me HERE or your other Kingdom and cruise agent. This dreamy vaca may not be out of reach!

2. A Virgin Voyages Adults-Only Caribbean Cruise

Virgin Voyages offers cruises to several destinations in the Caribbean including Bahamas, St. Croix, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. For a girls’ trip, a Caribbean cruise is a great getaway with just the right mix of beach, relaxation, culture and adventure. We recommend Virgin Voyages for a girls’ trip because they are adults-only, and they include many things that other cruise lines don’t like specialty dining, WiFi and gratuities. Plus, there is something for everyone onboard…Unwind at the spa, attend one of the exciting parties like the pajama party or watch a dazzling show onboard. Then, recharge on your terrace hammock before the next fun-filled day at sea or in port.

Your Virgin Voyages terrace room comes equipped with a hammock!

3. An All-inclusive Resort in the Caribbean

Are you picking up on a theme? These first 3 options are all about fun in the sun! An all-inclusive resort is one of the best options for a girls’ trip. You pay one price and all your meals and beverages are included. No check-splitting math required, so go ahead and order the third margarita. Our favorite pick for an adults-only all-inclusive is a Sandals resort, which delivers top luxury, cuisine, beverages, location, amenities and service.

Your Kingdom and cruise agent can find the right all-inclusive resort for your girls’ trip!

There is an extensive list of all-inclusive brands throughout the Caribbean, like Secrets, Excellence, Royalton and more. Kingdom and Cruise Travel agents specialize in these resorts and can guide you to the right one for your group.

4. A Wine Country Escape!

Don’t take a Nap-a. Go visit Napa! Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley in California feature some of the best wineries in the US! Kingdom and Cruise Travel can book the perfect accommodations, make your tasting reservations and arrange a private winery tour to take you to the all the highlights. There are some unique and spectacular vineyards and wine caves to visit, like Jarvis Estates, the country’s first winery built entirely underground, Another up-and-coming wine country destination is Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California Sur. This area will offer more bang for your buck than Napa and has some of the most luxurious boutique hotels like La Villa de Valle.

Jarvis Estates is a great winery to visit on your wine country escape! The company that dug these wine caves also dug the Chunnel connecting the UK to France!

5. A Spa Getaway

When I say relaxation, does your mind drift to a massage? A sauna? A facial? Then this could be just the rejuvenation you and your friends need. There is no shortage of resorts with spas across the US. Whether you’re looking for a backdrop of beach, mountains or desert, there is a spa resort for you. Kingdom and Cruise Travel agents can recommend one and help with your itinerary for any side-trips, tours and dining. Some amazing spa options are the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, the Ambiente in Sedona, The Westin Resort and Spa in Hilton Head Island and the Lodge at Woodloch in Pennsylvania.

The Grove Park Inn in Asheville blends the four elements—Fire, Rock, Water, and Light—to create a serene and rejuvenating environment

6. A City Break

My college friends pick a different city every year to explore for our girls’ getaways. We have had a fantastic time in New York City, Austin, Cape Cod, Washington DC, Asheville, and Boston. Other popular city destinations include Nashville, New Orleans and Las Vegas. A city break allows you and your friends to get a flavor for the nightlife, art and culture, and local cuisine at your destination. Picking the right hotel and location within a city is key! Get in touch today for a list of top places to stay and things to do in each of these cities!

A city break allows you to explore the art, culture, food and top sites in a region, like Summit One Vanderbilt in NYC.

7. A Private Group-Guided International Adventure

National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures offers incredible week-long (or longer!) guided adventures to destinations around the globe starting at under $1500 per person. And you can make them private for your girls’ trip! Your group has to pay for 8 people, but you can still make it private if you have fewer. If you have a total of 12, you get a discount! My friends are taking an epic National Geographic Journey to Japan in the summer of 2025 and we can’t wait. The biggest problem is deciding which one of National Geographic’s Journeys to take!

Where in the world do you want to go for your girls’ trip? National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures can take you there!

8. A National Park Exploration

For a girls’ getaway on a shoestring, you can find budget friendly fun and adventure on a trip to one of our US National Parks. Try a trip to Yosemite in California, the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, Acadia in Maine, or the Badlands in South Dakota. Park passes are extremely reasonable and are per vehicle. You can even sign up for free ranger tours and talks. Get an annual pass and visit a few! A National Parks getaway still requires advanced planning and strategy for where to stay and how to make the most of your trip. Get in touch with me or another Kingdom and Cruise agent for guidance.

National Park Exploration offers breathtaking scenery, a connection with nature and free ranger tours.

9. An Active Adventure Vacation

Does your group love high adventure? There is a trip available to explore your passion or learn something new with your friends. You might all want to hit the ski slopes in Montana at Big Sky. Or perhaps you want to try a women’s surfing camp like this one in Costa Rica. If hiking is your thing, Backroads is an award-winning company that puts together women’s walking and hiking tours all over the world.

You can take a Backroads hiking or biking tour in several global destinations to make for an invigorating and exciting girls’ trip!

10. A Disney Trip!

I saved the best for last. A Disney destination actually TOPS my list of girls’ trip ideas. You can unwind, feel like a kid again AND do some eating and drinking around the world in the EPCOT World Showcase. You and your friends will be pleasantly surprised by the amazing memories you can make at a Disney theme park. There’s a celebration there almost any time of year. Want an added layer of fun? How about registering for a runDisney race like the Princess Half Marathon? Nothing spells fun like you and your warrior princess besties crossing the finish line then celebrating with drinks and rides all day. Check out our article on 5 Reasons Why a RunDisney Race is Worth It!

Round up your girls and bring them to Disney World for a light-hearted vacation to remember. You might need to make it a tradition.
