Girls Trips in New England

1. Cape Cod Girls Trip

As suggested by Heather, Life at my own Pace

A weekend on the lower end of Cape Cod is the perfect place for a girls’ getaway weekend. Either Truro or Provincetown would be great places to stay.

Provincetown has a municipal airport and has flights to Providence, RI’s T.F.Green Airport. Another option would be to fly into Boston and take the two-hour ferry ride to Provincetown.

Where to stay for a girls’ weekend in Cape Cod: We stayed in Truro at the Crow’s Nest Resort in a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. There are plenty of small hotels, Airbnbs, and bed and breakfasts to stay in.

➡️ Check Hotel Availability of Hotels in Cape Cod

Truro is home to Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod. You can visit the tasting room and gift shop in a restored 1830s farmhouse. Grab a bite to eat, sit down and sip a little or a lot of wine.

Provincetown is on Cape Cod’s tip and is known for its beaches, harbor, charming shops, art galleries, restaurants, and more.

There is so much to do and see here. While in Provincetown, take a ride out to Race Point Beach. It is part of the National Seashore.

It is known for having some of the best sunsets on Cape Cod.

Speaking of the National Seashore, it consists of 43,607 acres of ponds, woods, and beachfront.

There are also 40 miles of seashore along the Atlantic-facing eastern shore of Cape Cod, including Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown.

There is so much to do and see at the National Seashore; the beaches are just a tiny piece.

Shopping, food, sunsets, beaches, and wine, what more could you ask for in a girl’s getaway?

2. Montpelier, Vermont Girls Trip

Suggested by Jumana, Planet Hopper Girl

Montpelier is the capital city of Vermont, which is the perfect destination for a girls’ getaway in New England, especially for those who would love to stay in the quiet and take in some natural beauties there.

Like every other Vermont town, this city is particularly charming with picturesque houses, maple syrup farms, and vineyards for that perfect photoshoot vacation.

Even though this is a capital city, it is more like a small town and has a lot of historical sites. Vermont State House is the prettiest and a walk around this area is highly recommended.

The panoramic view of the city is incredible and worth a small hike to the Camel’s Hump.

The city is very popular among tourists and equally charming in all seasons, especially in Fall and Winter.

Consider it one of the Stars Hollow towns for Halloween specifically. In autumn, the town offers one of the most scenic fall views in and around and it is perfect for a weekend fall foliage road trip in Vermont.

Another activity to aim for specifically is to go to the local farm shops and try out the local produce. Vermonters follow a healthy lifestyle that is particularly interesting and hence trying local food and products is a great idea.

If you are visiting by car, you could also drive up to Mount Mansfield which is an easy but picturesque drive up the mountains with great views.

The more adventurous you are the more things to do here, like go on the walking hikes, etc. Montpelier fits the bucket for both a slow weekend as well as an adventurous one.

Girls Getaways on the East Coast

Ocean City, Maryland Girls Trip

Suggested by Denise, Chef Denise

If you and your girls are looking for a party on the beach, head to Ocean City, Maryland! This resort town on the Delmarva peninsula has plenty of fun things to do no matter what you and your gal pals are into.

Sporty girls will have the opportunity to swim, jet ski, kayak, stand-up paddle, or parasail.

Or if it’s leisure you’re after, spend all day hanging out at the beach–or the bar. 

Try Seacrets for drinks literally in the bay and on the sand, or stay and have a meal. For nightlife, check out their website for music events.

Waterman’s is the place for a crab feast, and Harborside, home of the original Orange Crush is another local’s favorite for drinks and food.

And if your girls want a boozy brunch, try either of the two Bad Monkey Bar & Grills. 

Of course, there’s more to eat and drink while strolling down the 3 miles of boardwalk filled with food stands, restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops with funny t-shirts.

Try some of the famous local snacks. Number one on that list is Thrasher’s French Fries. Don’t let the line or the fact that they don’t offer ketchup deter you; the malt vinegar is perfect and they’re some of the best fries you’ll ever have.

A little way down is Fisher’s popcorn; so good they’ll ship it anywhere in the country.

Cool off with some Dumser’s ice cream and take a photo by the Ocean City sign.

New York City Girls Weekend

Suggested by Victoria, Guide Your Travel

New York City is the ultimate girl-trip destination and the perfect weekend girls getaway. This city has it all; from the best brunch spots, sightseeing opportunities, farmers’ markets and so much more.

New York can be expensive so make sure you budget enough money to get yourself a nice Airbnb apartment either right in Manhattan or alternatively in New Jersey or Brooklyn.

A quick train ride will take you to the heart of the city but, of course, staying right in Manhattan is the best choice.

If you’re into shopping then you’re in luck! New York is home to a wide variety of flagship stores and all the best designer shops on 5th Avenue.

Take your girls to get all-new outfits to wear for your first night out in NYC.

Of course, no trip to New York is complete without an iconic slice of pizza. Take yours up to Highline Park and have a little picnic with a view.

If you want the best view in the city we’d highly recommend going up to the One World Trade Centre where you’ll get the most amazing panoramic views.

Also, don’t miss out on the ferry which lets you enjoy the skyline from the water. Tickets are very affordable and you might even spot the Statue of Liberty on the Way

Girls Getaways: Northern USA

North Shore, Minnesota Girls Weekend

Suggested by Karen, KMF is writing

Looking for the best girls getaway where you can really get away from it all?

Then head to the breathtaking North Shore in Minnesota, a scenic two- to four-hour road trip north of Minneapolis and St. Paul. 

Here are the best things to do on a girls weekend on the North Shore in Minnesota. 

• Hike at one or more of the eight beautiful state parks and the famed Superior Hiking Trail. 
• Chase waterfalls – from the popular Gooseberry Falls State Park (home to four waterfalls) to the tallest waterfall in Minnesota (120 feet) at Grand Portage State Park.
• Tour the historic Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors, Minn., which sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Superior
• Hunt for agates on the shores of Lake Superior – it’s a Minnesota thing. 
• Ski at Lutsen Mountains – the Midwest’s largest resort features four mountains and 95 ski runs.
• Not a skier? Take the Summit Express Gondola up for some stunning views of the mountaintops and Lake Superior – especially beautiful in the fall. 
• Grand Marais is the most charming town on the North Shore – you’ll find super cute shops and great sunset views on Lake Superior. 
• Visit one of several wineries or take a brewery tour.
• And so much more

My favorite place to stay on the North Shore is Caribou Highlands Lodge at Lutsen Mountains. They offer three-bedroom townhomes, which is perfect for a girl getaway. And it’s also centrally located to all the North Shore state parks.

I’m also a huge fan of the cozy cottages overlooking Lake Superior at Cove Point Lodge in Two Harbors, Minn. This place is super close to Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse.

Las Vegas Girls Trip

Suggested by Debbie, World Adventurist

Las Vegas, Nevada is a place like no other. Every year, millions flock to Sin City to take in all the glitz, glamour, and neon lights. Vegas is the perfect place for fun with the girls!

Known as the entertainment capital of the world, it feels like there are endless glamorous hotels to explore, and activities and shows to experience.

The hotels are extravagant, and you could spend a day just exploring all their details and charm. Each hotel is designed to be like a different place around the world.

Hollywood Girls Trip

Suggested by Oliva, Girl with Blue Sails

West Hollywood in Los Angeles, California is the ultimate place to host a weekend girls getaway.

From luxurious rooftop pools to exclusive late-night clubs, the hustle and glam of this city creates the perfect SoCal mix of relation and partying. 

The nightlife in West Hollywood has achieved world fame. Bar hopping down the Sunset Strip is a must-do.

➡️ Book a great tour for your girls in Hollywood here!

Wander in and out of upscale clubs, gay bars, or dive bars, and dance the night away.

Other night activities include seeing a live stand-up set at the infamous Comedy Store or catching a band or two at the famed rock clubs the Whisky or the Roxy.

Daytime in West Hollywood is for relaxation. One recommended place to stay on a girls trip is the Mondrian Hotel, which is home to the gorgeous Skybar.

While it’s an amazing place to see the sunset, Skybar’s beautiful rooftop bar and pool is ideal for lazy mornings. There is nothing better than sipping poolside mimosas with friends after a long night out. 

West Hollywood is also home to some amazing breakfast and brunch spots. The drag queen brunch at Hamburger Mary’s is always a fun time, especially for groups.

To pass the afternoon, shopping at the enormous Beverly Center is recommended, the perfect place to grab a new outfit for the next night out on the strip.

San Franciso Girls Trip

Suggested by Stéphanie, Bey Of Travel

If you are looking for a fun weekend trip you can take with your girls, you should absolutely head over to  San Francisco.

Located in the north of the state of California, San Francisco is a peninsula on the Pacific Ocean.

Reserve two to three days to enjoy your stay to the fullest. Book a room in the InterContinental San Francisco located close to all of the city’s highlights.

Orcas Island, Washington

Suggested by Sumeeta, Sumeeta Seeks

Orcas Island is a peaceful island in the San Juan archipelago to the west of Washington State. It is such an awesome place for a girl getaway!

Oprah recently purchased a home there, which makes sense because Orcas Island is easily one of the most beautiful places in the US!

But you don’t need to be a celebrity to visit or to experience all the best that Orcas Island has to offer.

Orcas Island is a great place to visit any time of year. The most popular season for visitors is summer when there are a plethora of outdoor activities like kayaking and whale watching.

Winter is the low season for tourism, but you’ll feel like you have the whole island to yourself.

There’s an abundance of activities to suit a range of interests. For art lovers, be sure to check out Orcas Island Artworks to see the work of local artists, Orcas Island Pottery for unique handmade pieces, and Darvill’s Bookstore.

Nature lovers can choose from some of the best hikes including Mount Constitution and Obstruction Pass. Foodies will delight in all the excellent culinary choices, and zen seekers have a couple of great spa resort options to choose from.

Be sure to plan ahead for ferry times especially during the busy season, and bring a car so you can access all the best parts of the island.

No matter what interests your girl group has, Orcas Island is a beautiful place that has something for everyone.

Portland, Oregon girls trip

Suggested by Haley Blackall, haleyblackall.com

Located inland from the scenic Oregon coastline is the artsy city of Portland. Well known for its walkable green landscapes, gardens, and picturesque neighborhoods.

But, what makes Portland one of the best weekend girls trips is its abundance of microbreweries, coffee roasters, independent clothing shops, trendy restaurants, farmers markets, and bookstores. 

If you are planning a weekend girls trip to Portland, start by staying at the Ace Hotel. Located downtown, this boutique hotel features vintage furniture, in-room turntables, local art, and claw-foot tubs. The shared triple rooms would be perfect for a group of gals.

➡️ Book Ace Hotel in Portland

Once you’ve settled in, head out to Powell’s City of Books. Covering an entire city block, this Portland landmark attracts people from far and wide and has become a microcosm of the city itself.

If books aren’t your thing, grab a cappuccino from Heart Coffee and hit up the many independent clothing stores around the Pearl District.

Top it all off with a visit to Salt & Straw, a Portland institution. Try their ice cream flight, with salted caramel, lavender, and olive oil flavors, you won’t be disappointed.

In the evening, get dressed up and head over to Tasty N Sons or Olympia Provisions for charcuterie and dinner. Then grab a table at one of Portland’s trendiest bars, Deadshot, and sip on a cocktail.

Fredricksburg, Texas

Suggested by Jordan, Homebody Tourist

Did you know there was a charming wine country right in the middle of the great state of Texas?!

Located in Texas Hill County, Fredericksburg is a wine-lovers paradise. Located just 78 miles from Austin and 251 miles from Dallas, It is the perfect location for a girl’s getaway. 

In this charming town, there are more than 50 wineries and tasting rooms. You are able to tour the wineries on your own or with a tour. There is even a shuttle bus that will drive you along Wine Road 290 every Saturday.

After you are wined out, you are able to stroll down Main Street, window shop, or check out the unique Enchanted Rock State Park.

If looking for more outdoor adventures, be sure to make a pit stop at Krause Springs- a unique swimming hole less than 1 hour away!

I recommend staying at the Peach Tree Inn as it is affordable, close to Main Street, and provides all the small-town vibes.

Rocky Point, Mexico (leaving from Phoenix Arizona)

Suggested by Sam, My Flying Leap

When you live in the land-locked Phoenix, Arizona area, Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco) is the closest ocean destination.

It’s an easy four-hour drive from the Phoenix area and the perfect place to visit for a girls’ weekend trip. Just grab your passport and go!

Rocky Point offers something for everyone. There are many nice homes, condos, and hotel rooms right on the water. Explore the rocky tidepools to see all sorts of ocean life from brittle stars and sea cucumbers to octopi.

Head to the Old Port and Malecón for shopping and negotiate on price. You can find some great deals on Mexican products and souvenirs.

You can even borrow a rescue dog at Barb’s Rescue. They provide everything you’ll need and make it nice and easy for you to bring them home if you decide you can’t live without them. 

There are some great restaurants offering freshly-caught seafood and local cuisine like  La Curva and Max’s. For breakfast, Cornejo’s Bakery is the place to go for freshly-baked pastries and fresh tortillas. 

Get a massage on the beach and take in the amazing sunsets over the water in this lovely paradise. You won’t want to leave!

San Antonio, Texas

Suggested by Nina, Nina Out and About

San Antonio is the perfect spot for a weekend girls getaway. The city is best known for the historic Alamo, but once you arrive you’ll discover that there’s so much more.

You can fly directly to San Antonio or drive the 1.5 hours from Austin to begin your girls’ trip. Most international flights don’t connect to the smaller San Antonio airport, so Austin is the easier connection for girls coming from further away.

Culturally, San Antonio is a delightful blend of Mexican and American cultures. On the same day, you can go on an epic Texas trail ride on horseback and promenade along the river walk.

Be sure to enjoy the delicious margaritas at Rosario’s Mexican Café Y Cantina. They pair perfectly with the delicious tacos and are sure to get you in the spirit of a weekend getaway.

Hit up the historic Guenther House for an amazing Texan brunch, complete with biscuits and gravy, that’ll help you survive a morning after too many of those margaritas. 

Most people think of Austin when they go to Texas, but San Antonio is equally exciting. The city allows you to take a Mexican holiday and a Texan adventure in one gorgeous city.

You can spend the weekend relaxing in the spa, overlooking the city, or going on a beer tour of the hottest bars in town. Make time for some line dancing to round out your weekend.

This refreshing and historical hike leads to a rocky river bank that’s just right for sunning, cooling off in the flowing waters, and taking in the views of the Robert E. Lee Bridge and the city skyline.

Charleston, South Carolina

Suggested by Dymphe, Dymabroad

One of the best destinations for a weekend girls getaway is the city of Charleston. You can find Charleston in the state of South Carolina.

Charleston is an amazing place with a great culture, beautiful buildings, and lots of great things to do and see for a girls trip!

One of the best things you can do in the city is taking photos with your friends. There are all kinds of beautiful Instagrammable places in Charleston that are wonderful for photography!

Another great thing to do during your weekend trip is to get delicious ice cream. Park Circle Creamery is a great place for that!

New Orleans, Louisiana

Suggested by Martina, PlacesofJuma

New Orleans is a really cool city for a girls’ trip. Located in Louisiana, this town is famous for its vibrant nightlife and vibrant music scene.

Also culinary you can experience a lot: The cuisine of New Orleans combines the French with the African and American – and so you and your girls will find many amazing restaurants to try!

Every year the legendary Mardi Gras takes place here, a huge carnival party, but the city is also worth seeing outside this time. New Orleans is the city of music, and you can feel that at any time of the day or night!

So you experience with your girls a really cool flair and you can switch off from the stressful everyday life optimally.

As soon as the sun goes down there is dancing in the city, there are countless possibilities for live music and nightlife. Perfect if you want to party all night long with the girls. 

But also during the day, there are many things to do in New Orleans. The city has a beautiful historic old town (“French Quarter”) with numerous buildings in Spanish and French colonial style.

Interesting is also, that New Orleans makes it consistently to the list of the most haunted cities in America!? So if you believe in the paranormal you should definitely book yourself and your girls a spooky room in one of the haunted hotels!

Nashville, Tennessee Girls Trip

Suggested by Nicole, The Abroad Blog

Nashville is the perfect city for a weekend girls getaway! Not only does Nashville have some of the best bars in the United States, it’s also well-known for it’s trendy brunch spots, Instagrammable murals, and quaint shops!

When visiting Nashville, I recommend staying as close to Broadway as possible. This is Nashville’s main street and is also where all the Honky Tonk bars are located.

Since Nashville is a large city, there are several major hotel chains located in the area, including a newly renovated Hyatt and Holiday Inn.

You can definitely explore most of Nashville in a long weekend, although it will be much easier to navigate with a car.

➡️ Reserve your rental car here!

There are Ubers in Nashville, but the price of these add up, so I definitely recommend renting a car in the city if you aren’t driving there for the weekend!

Aside from bar hopping down Broadway, I recommend exploring the 12 South neighborhood. This neighborhood is home to some of Nashville’s most famous murals, including the “I Believe In Nashville” mural.

Here you’ll also find some of the city’s most quaint, southern boutiques and coffee shops. Frothy Monkey is a fan favorite.

While you’re at it, head down the street to 5 Daughters Bakery for a treat! You can’t leave Nashville without exploring the musical side of Music City!

Head to the Grand Ole Opry next for an exclusive, backstage tour! You have to book tickets online and in advance for this activity, but it’s so worth it.

There’s also the Country Music Hall of Fame downtown and the Johnny Cash Museum, both of which are other must-sees.

Lastly, if you’re looking for another fun activity to do during your girls getaway in Nashville, be sure to check out a Pedal Tavern! These bars on wheels allow you to pedal your way through the city, combining both sightseeing and day drinking- what a dream!

Which of these awesome Girls Getaways are you packing for?

I hope this gets you excited to call your girls and head out for the weekend, I know it does me!

Hey, men, if you made it this far, booking one of these trips for your girl would be an amazing gift (hint, hint).
