If you’re ready to book your next adventure, read on! We found the perfect places for your next girl trip! Plus, we threw in some tips to make it a success!
What Makes The Ultimate Girls Trip
While you likely have lots in common with your friends, it’s important to keep in mind everybody has their own travel style. Some people's dream vacation entails laying on a beach sipping margaritas, while others might be hiking a mountain…I am definitely the lay on a beach type of person, but power to you if you enjoy exercising while on vacay! With that in mind we found nine amazing options that cover a range of experiences to please the whole group. So bust out your passport and pop some champagne, these are the perfect places for your next girls trip adventure.
Provence, France
For wine lovers, foodies, nature enthusiasts and more, Provence is the perfect spot to please all of your girlfriends! From the end of June until the beginning of August Provence’s famous lavender fields will be in full bloom. Bust out your tripod or hire a photographer and capture your crew frolicking amongst the lucious lavender. Pack a picnic and some famous Provence rosé (They are the main producer of rosé in the world!) and soak up this quaint region of France. There are so many cute little towns full of art, history, swimming spots and more so there will be something for everyone! Plus, the southern coast of France is just a short journey away.

Iceland
For the outdoor enthusiasts, Iceland is certain to take your breath away! Every second of your girls trip to Iceland will feel like you walked onto a set of a movie.

Cappadocia, Turkey
There are many stunning spots in Turkey that could make for an amazing girls trip, but we think Cappadocia has the wow power needed to take the top spot. Create a memory you are sure to never forget by waking up to watch the sunrise over the famous caves that populate Cappadocia.

Take some time on your trip to visit some haunted graveyards and learn about the history of voodoo in New Orleans. New Orleans is teaming with unique tours and experiences, so this city escape will perfectly please all types of travelers in your girl gang.
Make Your Trip a Success
Of course, the perfect location is just the first step to planning the ultimate girls getaway. Make sure you come out of your trip with only good memories by using the following girls trip tips:
Don’t Over Schedule Yourselves - Whenever you travel it is easy to want to see and do everything, but that’s not always possible! Plus, even if you and your friends are a group of extroverts, you will inevitably need some down time to rest and relax. Keep in mind too, trying to get everybody to show up at the right time and place can be complicated! Make sure you plan accordingly so your group isn’t rushed.
Pack Some Personalized Gear - While we usually don’t advise doing things to draw attention to the fact that you’re a tourist, there is something about some kind of matching personalized gear that we just love! Something simple like customized eye masks for on the plane or matching swimsuits can make all the difference in making your girls trip feel all the more special.
Don’t Forget Everyone's Budget Is Different - The truth of the matter is, it is likely that you and your friends all have different financial situations. Income levels might be different, some girls might have saved up more to really splurge while others might just have different savings goals in the works they would rather put their money to. Additionally, while you might think something is worth the money, another friend might think differently. It’s always best to talk honestly about budget expectations beforehand to ensure no awkward situations arise.
Make Sure Everyone Is Included - From the start of planning to all the big and small moments on your trip, always make sure everyone feels valued and included. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of the moment, but that can sometimes mean someone doesn’t feel like they are a part of the group. While we tried to find places we think anyone would love, make sure no matter where you go everybody gets to do at least one thing that is at the top of their travel bucket list.
Talk About Pet Peeves In Advance - It is always important to know what will push you or your friends over the edge. Maybe they don’t want you to borrow their clothes or need a solid eight hours of sleep each night. Talk about what annoys you and what boundaries you want to set with each other before you head out on your adventure.
Pro Tip: You never know what might happen on a girls trip, so make sure to pack these medications in your medicine bag to cure all hangovers and accidents on your vacation.
