Last year, I celebrated 20 years of friendship with my girlfriends. As often as we can, we throw around fun girls trip ideas so we can enjoy a little R&R and talk like we are just three girls in high school hanging out on a Friday night.

I treasure that time together; it’s undoubtedly good for our souls. In fact, we are already planning our next big trip. We’re thinking wine, a little sightseeing, rest, and certainly more wine in Italy. Whether you choose to stay close to home or pull out the passport, we have you covered with fun girls trip ideas, from wineries to shopping to dusty adventures.

Girls Trip Ideas

Farmhouse Inn, Sonoma County, California

Before Fixer Upper, there was the Farmhouse Inn in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. The boutique bed and breakfast in California wine country is owned by brother and sister duo Catherine and Joe Bartolomei. Their winemaking family history spans five generations. Make plans to spend more than a long weekend here so you can get a chance to soak in all the Farmhouse Inn has to offer, including a Michelin-starred restaurant, full-service spa, and wine tours in Sonoma and Napa.

Private Yacht, Dalmatian Islands, Croatia

A private yacht charter in Croatia might feel out of reach for most group of friends. However, Ker & Downey has access to several intimate three- to five-cabin yachts, ideal for special occasions and intimate getaways with friends. You also won't have to pack and unpack or worry about the logistics of getting from one point to the other. You can simply settle in and enjoy the luxury of a personal crew taking care of your every need. Explore hidden coves, eat fresh seafood, drink delicious local wines, and enjoy the most exclusive destinations and cities along the Croatian coast. This includes Split, Dubrovnik, or Hvar, as well as more secluded island paradises like Mljet, Vis, Korcula, Šolta, and Brac.

La Residence, Franschhoek, South Africa

La Residence in Franschhoek is a dream destination for a girls’ getaway that blends indulgence, intimacy, and the magic of South Africa’s wine country. Set on a private 30-acre estate in South Africa's wine country, this opulent retreat offers panoramic views of the Franschhoek Valley and the majestic mountains beyond. Days can be spent savoring gourmet meals crafted from fresh, local ingredients, lounging by the infinity pool, or indulging in spa treatments that rejuvenate the body and spirit. Plus, you are within easy access to Cape Town for plenty of city-centric diversions such as shopping and private touring. For those seeking even more of a private experience, the exclusive-use Franschhoek House offers a secluded sanctuary with personalized service, including a private chef and host.

Mii Amo Spa, Sedona, Arizona

For pampering, look no further than the Mii Amo Spa in Sedona, a sister property of one of our favorite American Southwest destinations – Enchantment Resort. Set among the red rocks of Arizona, the destination spa offers three-, four-, and seven-night all-inclusive retreats. Is there a more perfect destination for the weary mom that needs to renew her soul and spirit with her girlfriends?

Paris, France

We can’t talk about fun girls trip ideas without mentioning Paris. In the famous words of Audrey Hepburn, “Paris is always a good idea”. With the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and patisseries, the iconic City of Light doesn’t get more ideal. Spend the day strolling around Montmartre, sightseeing, shopping in Parisian boutiques. Or rather, chat the days away at sidewalk cafes with your girlfriends.

GoldenEye, Ocho Rios, Jamaica

GoldenEye in Jamaica is a fun girls trip ideas option. Equal parts laid-back luxury and soulful Caribbean charm, this storied hideaway blends barefoot elegance with an effortless sense of cool. Imagine starting your day with a swim in the lagoon straight from your private villa, followed by fresh fruit and Blue Mountain coffee on the veranda. Whether you're craving sun-soaked beach time, spa treatments under swaying palms, or a rum cocktail at Bizot Bar as the sun sets, every moment with your closest friends will feel like a scene from a Bond movie—because it quite literally is. 

The Vines Resort & Spa, Mendoza, Argentina

Argentina has it all for the ultimate girls trip – chic cities, beautiful countryside, and wine. The cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires, known as the “Paris of South America," offers an ideal spot to start any girl’s trip to Argentina. However, don’t stop there. Continue to Mendoza, one of South America’s most productive wine regions, known for its “good sunshine and good wine.” Book a stay at The Vine Resort & Spa, surrounded by 1,500 acres of vineyards. Its private villas, Francis Mallman restaurant, and idyllic pool has earned a spot on every “Best,” “It,” “Hot,” and “Top” List out there.

Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Nothing brings people closer than going through a trial together. For the ultimate test of endurance, and to strengthen the bonds of friendship, hike Mount Kilimanjaro together. Head up the Rongai Route. It’s a slow ascent to the roof of Africa with the highest success rate.

Private Villa, Tuscany, Italy

For a relaxing getaway in Il Bel Paese, “the beautiful country,” head to the Tuscan hills of Italy. Its largest cities are incredibly accessible due to the country’s well-planned public transportation system while the smaller countryside towns are quaint and quiet for a cozy getaway. Add in a few days at the Amalfi Coast or at Lake Como, combined with tasty Italian cuisine, and you’ve got the recipe for the perfect girls' getaway. We recommend opting for a private villa in the Tuscan countryside or staying at a property with all of the indulgent amenities, such as Castel Monastero.

Northern Territory and The Kimberley, Australia

Our Northern Australia Voyage is an ideal itinerary for an intrepid girls trip, offering a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and luxury. The journey begins in Darwin and takes you through the ancient scenery of Arnhem Land, where you can explore rich Aboriginal heritage and stunning landscapes.
