Seriously, girl getaways are the stuff dreams are made of. But hey, what’s next on your adventure agenda? Where are you jetting off to?

1.Saint Barthélemy
First up on the list: St. Barth’s. Picture you and your besties, with a cocktail in hand, lounging on the softest sands imaginable with the gentle Caribbean breeze tousling your hair. It’s like stepping into a postcard, but better because you’re living in it! And when the sun sets, the island transforms into a party paradise where the fun NEVER stops and the vibes are always good. Get ready to dance the night away under the stars with your girlies ✨.
2. London, England
Who says tea time has to be all prim and proper? In London, it’s an excuse to indulge in scones, clotted cream, and gossip with the gals. And when you've had your fill of British charm, hit up the markets for some retail therapy or channel your inner royal at Buckingham Palace (crowns optional, but highly encouraged).
3. Bali, Indonesia
Bali is definitely an iconic location for a girls trip — commonly visited by tourists worldwide! Get ready for some serious zen time, surrounded by lush greenery, tranquil temples, and the most Instagrammable sunsets you’ve ever seen. But don’t let all that serenity fool you — Bali knows how to party! From beachside bonfires, to jungle raves, the island’s nightlife scene is as vibrant as its landscapes.
4. Mexico City, Mexico
A personal favorite, Mexico City is a fiesta for your senses! Dive into a world of bold flavors, colorful streets, and mariachi music that’ll have you tapping your toes in no time. Visit Frida’s Casa Azul and the pyramids, then go food hopping (you won’t regret it). And when you’re not busy sampling every taco in sight, explore the city’s rich history from ancient ruins to street art.
5. Barcelona, Spain
Have your inner foodie unleashed! From tapas to sangria, Barcelona is a culinary adventure waiting to happen. Going to Spain with your girls means lots of sun, beautiful beaches, and getting lost in the whimsical world of Gaudí’s architecture. Whether you're lounging by the sea, going for a delicious food adventure, or exploring the architectural masterpieces of Barcelona, this beautiful city is sure to give the girls a trip filled with tons of inspiration, adventure and fun!
6. Aruba
Get ready to trade your worries for flop flops and your to-do list for a cocktail in hand, because in Aruba, life is all about relaxation. You and the girls can really take the opportunity to unwind in Aruba, because the beaches never disappoint. Whether you’re lounging by the water, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or exploring hidden caves, every moment in Aruba feels like a dream come true.
7. Toronto, Canada
Welcome to the Great White North! Toronto may be known for its chilly winters, but its hospitality is always warm. From towering skyscrapers to cozy cafes, the city’s diverse neighborhoods offer something for everyone. If you visit in August, you might get to attend Toronto’s annual Caribana — North America’s largest Caribbean carnival, and it’s a BLAST! Also, don’t forget to snap a selfie with the iconic CN Tower while you’re there — because if you didn’t Instagram it, did it even happen?
8. Buenos Aires, Argentina
Get ready to dance! Tango your way through the streets of Buenos Aires, where passion is palpable and every corner tells a story. Enjoy some sizzling steaks with your red wine, before you grab your dancing shoes and explore the rhythm Argentina has to offer! Trust us, this city really knows how to turn up the heat.
9. Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is a maze of fun, colorful streets, where every turn reveals a hidden gem waiting to be discovered on one of your adventures! If you’re on the lookout for a destination where you can get a good blend of nature, beaches, and city vibes, then Portugal is the place. And when the hunger strikes (as it inevitably will), go for a pastéis de nata, you’ll swear they’re made with magic.
10. Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Make sure you pack your sunscreen for this one, because in Grand Cayman, paradise is calling your name. Here, you can go snorkeling with stingrays, or lounge on Seven Mile Beach while sampling rum by a beachside bar. I know, every moment of it sounds like pure bliss!
