Getaway Ideas for Busy Friends

Friend getaways can be one of the best types of therapy. But it can be challenging to find time and plan for you and your pals to get away. To make things easier, here are some of the top vacation ideas that you and your friends can indulge in this year–whether it be for a long weekend or an entire week!

Spa Getaways

If you and your pals can only swing a weekend trip, a local spa getaway is a perfect option for you. Yes, you guys need spas days too! You are likely to find a spa getaway within a 1–2-hour drive from your home based on your location. Spa resorts focus on providing their guests with a relaxing stay that will leave them feeling like a brand-new person. Most spa getaways offer packages that can include massages, facials, saunas, steam rooms, and more! You’ll also be able to venture out into the town to indulge in local cuisine and make the most out of your trip.

Toronto

Shopping, dining, drinking, oh my! Toronto truly has it all for any group. While Toronto is an excellent option for any vacation, it’s especially great for a group of friends looking to explore a new city. There are endless restaurants to eat at, museums to visit, stores to shop in, and drinks to be drunk. If you are looking for an especially good time then head to Toronto in August for Caribana! Grab your besties, some coffee and get ready to fete because the party does not stop all weekend!

Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale, Arizona, has become a hotspot for bachelorette/bachelor parties and for good reason! This destination is known for its relaxing spas, top-notch dining experiences, breathtaking views, and shopping trips. Although Scottsdale has a booming social scene, it’s also met with gorgeous deserts and mountains, making it a unique destination. Plus, the city is known to have some of the best photo backgrounds if you need a photoshoot.

New York City, NY

NYC is another city that provides endless entertainment for anyone in your group. Looking to try the hottest new cuisines? Itching for a unique cocktail? Want to grab an Instagram picture of the NYC skyline? Headed to the hottest art gallery? NYC has all that to offer and more! Depending on your budget, you can opt for a location right in the heart of the city, or you can explore new boroughs and areas in Brooklyn or Queens. The best time to visit NYC is during the spring and fall seasons when the weather isn’t too hot or cold!

All-Inclusive Resort

All-inclusive resorts are a great trip option for a group of girlfriends because it takes the guesswork out of vacation planning. Staying at an all-inclusive resort ensures that you won’t have to worry about what restaurants to go to, where to grab a drink, and which beach to sunbathe on. Most resorts will also provide free entertainment and help you plan excursions during your stay! Try looking at an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean for stunning beaches and affordable stays.

Palm Springs, CA

For ultimate relaxation, try venturing to Palm Springs in California. Palm Springs is specifically known for its year-round sunny weather and stunning landscapes. Start your morning with a relaxing massage, sunbathe by the pool, and end your day with a fantastic dinner paired with California wines.

Las Vegas, NV

Are you looking to party? Then look no further than Las Vegas! Las Vegas is one of the top recommended destinations for groups of friends because it’s all about partying and having a good time. But don’t let the party scene scare you off. Vegas still offers many activities for those who aren’t into the party scene or need a break from late nights. Think top-rated restaurants, stunning landscapes, and concerts/shows! You can truly never be bored on a Vegas trip.
