Choose the Perfect Destination

The first thing you need to consider when planning a girls’ getaway is where you will travel. There are so many luxurious destinations to choose from that offer totally different vibes. From relaxing coastal beach stays to itinerary-filled city breaks, it is important you narrow down your search by deciding on the exact type of holiday you are after. Are you looking to sunbathe and swim in the sea, or explore cobblestones and hop between cafes and museums? Ask your girl friends and see what you all decide.

Here are five perfect destinations for a girls’ getaway:

Paris, France

If you are looking for a city break, Paris beckons with its high-class fashion, art, and culinary scenes. Ideal for the chic and sophisticated group, you will never be at a loss for things to do. Here are some top picks of what to experience in the city of light: 

• Wining and dining at haute-cuisine restaurants in Michelin’s home country
• Shopping sprees at the Galeries Lafayette or Samaritaine, which has gorgeous Art Deco architecture
• Leave the city walls for a private tour of Versailles to experience a taste of royalty
• Watch the sunset on a private Seine River cruise for a 360° open-air tour of Paris

This is an appealing place to visit in July if you are looking to enjoy some sunshine, as the average temperature during this time of year is 20 degrees.  

Tuscany, Italy

For lovers of food, wine, and picture-perfect landscapes, Tuscany’s rolling hills are a dream. Enjoy private local wine tastings in the vineyards themselves, like the prestigious Antinori Chianti Classico. For a taste of the cosmopolitan, take a personalized shopping tour of Florence’s high-end boutiques in streets like Via Roma and Via de’ Tornabuon.

Across this sprawling region, Tuscany offers a variety of luxury accommodations that promise comfort, elegance, and impeccable service. With stunning views, exquisite interiors, and amenities like private pools, spas, and gourmet restaurants, your stay will surely be the ultimate indulgence.

This is a good destination between the months of May and October for temperatures above 20 degrees.

Santorini, Greece

Famous for its stunning sunsets, white-washed buildings, and volcanic beaches, Santorini is a dream destination for many. It is perfect for a holiday filled with beauty. Here are some top picks of what to do in Santorini: 

• Take a volcano and hot springs boat tour to get the best caldera views while topping up your tan
• Enjoy the Cycladic weather with a chilled glass of wine on the terrace of your luxury villa
• Dine on fresh seafood dishes at Lycabettus, set on a hill looking over the Aegean Sea
• Take a visit to the Lost Atlantis Experience Museum to find out why Santorini has long been connected to the myth of Atlantis

If you and your girl friends are avid Instagrammers, Santorini is definitely the place to go. You will have an endless amount of aesthetic pictures to post by the end of your trip. Look at booking during or after June for guaranteed sunshine and warm temperatures.

New York City, USA

The city that never sleeps offers something for every type of traveler around the clock. In the daytime, NYC is a global shopping mecca, offering everything from flagship designer stores on Fifth Avenue to chic boutiques in SoHo, perfect if you and your girlfriends love to shop.  Book a private tour of the MoMa for an interactive experience that will leave you and your group of girls with shared memories that will last a lifetime. When the sun sets, whether you dine at one of NYC’s world-class restaurants, soak up the skyline on a rooftop bar, or enjoy the revelry of a Broadway show, NYC’s famous nightlife is sure to keep you entertained all night long. 

Book in winter for a cozy, Christmassy trip if you would prefer to experience the New York you have seen in classic films like Home Alone and Elf.

Maldives

The recommendations would not be complete without mentioning the Maldives, which is the ultimate remote, luxury destination. Known for its overwater bungalows and crystal-clear sea, the Maldives is the epitome of sophisticated beach living. It may cost a few thousand dollars for a week to two-week trip, but boy will it be worth it.

There are many luxury resorts to be found across the Maldives, each with its unique features. The Hurawalhi Island Resort, for instance, has the world’s largest all-glass undersea restaurant, serving sumptuous fresh-caught Maldivian seafood like reef fish carpaccio and saku tuna. A must-stay if you all love seafood. At the Emerald Faarufushi Resort & Spa, guests are assigned a personal butler and can experience indulgent spa treatments like the Balinese massage. There are so many to choose from that you and your friends are sure to find the perfect spot that suits all of your needs.

Book Accommodation

Once you have your heart set on a destination, whether it be Paris, Italy, or somewhere completely different, you next need to book your accommodation. When it comes to luxury hotels, apartments or even a villa, start by defining what luxury means to your group. For some, it might be the royal treatment. For others, it might mean tranquility and extra space to do as you please, away from the rest of the world. Knowing what type of luxury experience you are seeking will help narrow down your accommodation options. If you are leaning toward a nature-inspired yet stylish retreat, Byron Bay cabins offer a unique blend of comfort, privacy, and coastal charm that’s perfect for unwinding in style.

Especially on a girls’ getaway, having a private and spacious environment is key to enjoying each other’s company. Luxury villas, boutique hotels offering private wings, or suites with common areas where you can relax and have fun are all excellent options for group trips. 

Book Your Flights

Once you know where you are going, and your accommodation is booked, you need to book your flights for the entire group, ensuring you can all catch the same plane. 

Depending on your chosen destination and how much of a priority flying luxury is to you and your friends, there are several more high-end ways of flying instead of booking the cheapest commercial flight. 

Firstly, consider flying first or business class for priority check-in, premium seats with extra legroom, and complimentary alcohol for the length of your time in the air. This will put you all in the best possible mood for your holiday ahead, especially if this will be your first time flying first class. 

Your second option would be to have the ultimate luxurious experience by hiring your own private jet charter. Such bespoke service offers many benefits, including skipping queues at crowded airports and enabling you and your friends to travel as an independent group in true VIP style. Moreover, private jets can land at smaller, less trafficked airports, opening up a world of exclusive destinations for you and your group. 

Pre Holiday Pamper

Now that your flights and accommodation are booked, the next thing you should be thinking about is making sure you are pampered and feel your best for your upcoming holiday. No luxurious getaway is complete without a bit of TLC. Travel, especially in a group, can be exhilarating but also exhausting. Dedicating time to pamper gives you and your friends the chance to unwind, recharge, and let any stress and fatigue melt away. Treatments like massages, facials, and body scrubs can have tangible benefits on your physical and mental well-being, leaving you refreshed and revitalized.

Here are some beauty treatments to get done before a girls’ getaway:

• Manicure and pedicure (bright neons or classic French tip)
• Eyebrow tint
• Eyelash extensions (classic or hybrids for more of a natural, beach babe look)
• Spray tan (if you are not going to a warm destination)
• Full head of highlights

Plan Your Itinerary

Finally, the last thing to do is to ensure you are all aligned on the activities you will be doing while you are away. No matter its size, making sure everyone in the group is catered for on holiday can be difficult. 

Start by asking each member of your group to list their top three activities or experiences for the trip. Then, consolidate these ideas into a “dream list” to guide your planning. Since the purpose of the trip is to spend quality time with your friends, when you are deciding between choices, consider choosing fewer, more meaningful activities rather than rushing from one attraction to the next.

Try to keep a day or two itinerary free so you can have dedicated time to rest and do as you please.
