Girlfriend Getaways

A romantic escape with your lover is grand, but there is something about a girls’ trip that makes my heart smile. Anyone that knows me knows that I love a good trip with my girls! Ladies, you know what I am taking about…riding in the car with your girl friends, singing at the top of your lungs and there may or may not be candy involved. 


I wanted to write and inspire all the ladies out there to grab a bestie and get going! I promise you the memories will last a lifetime!

Besties at the Beach
Just about any beach will work for this. Most beach towns have sand, water and outlet malls. What more could a girl want? There are, however, a few beaches that I think are best.
Miami is great for gals because it is so vibrant and  has so much going on -  trendy hotels, good eats, great clubs, and of course, beautiful beaches!
Hilton Head is also great for a more low-key trip with mini-golf, dolphins and relaxation.
If you are thinking of going abroad, you can’t beat Mexico! It is the most affordable beach destination and has some awesome hotels with killer spas at a great price point! Add in amazing culture, history and guacamole…what’s not to love? VIVA MEXICO!

Hot Mamas in the Mountains
The Mountains make for a GREAT girls trip! My favorite is Asheville. You can do one day at the Biltmore Estate and Winery and then the next day at the AAA 4 Star Diamond Spa at the Grove Park Inn. Book a treatment at its $50 Million, 43,000 sq. ft. subterranean spa with 20 water features- including 10 mineral-based, chlorine-free pools! Plan to stay all day…I promise you won’t want to leave! With amazing eats and a host of local artisans, you are sure to have a great time!

For my Ladies that love Grapes
Napa and Sonoma are great for getting away with the ladies that love wine and food. Everyone goes to Napa for the amazing wine, but it’s really a foodie lover’s paradise as well! So ladies that love the grub….don’t take a Napa, GO to Napa! (Yes, I stole that from Sex and the City.)

Sassy Sisters at Sea

The best cruise ships for a girls’ trip are Carnival Breeze or the Carnival Sunshine! They are party boats for sure, but as the newest, latest and greatest ships in Carnival’s fleet, they were created to impress and that is EXACTLY what they will do! They feature Cloud 9 Spa Cabins with direct access to the Spa from your stateroom for a quieter, more relaxing experience. They also have direct access to the adult-only area on the ships! Both ships sail to the Caribbean this time of year and have home ports in Florida. (The Sunshine is currently in New Orleans, but is moving to Port Canaveral in a few weeks.)

I’d love to help you plan your next Girlfriend Getaway!

Bon Voyage!
