I LOVE a bachelorette party! It’s the perfect reason to get together with your best gals AND to top it off, an amazing reason to celebrate. Planning a bachelorette is certainly not easy, but sometimes deciding where to go can be the hardest part. I’m sharing all the best destinations for a bachelorette party (or bachelor party) whether you want to go international or stay in the ole US of A. These are sure to be crowd pleasers and your bride-to-be will love picking from this list of diverse destinations.
10 Best Destinations for a Bachelorette Party
Bachelorette’s have really changed in the past several years. People are going bigger than ever taking a long weekend to travel somewhere new. I think with so many busy schedules, we’re all really in need of a girls weekend 🙂
These are the best destinations for a bachelorette party – in my opinion! New places besides the typical Nashville that’s already been done. From Colorado to the Caribbean, there is something that will inspire your group of friends!
1. Puerto Rico
Well, I had to put my own choice in the #1 spot for best bachelorette party destinations! I had the best time traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico with my friends. It’s the Caribbean so you can go anytime of year and enjoy great weather! We were able to spend days on the beach, explore historic Old San Juan, take a sunset sail, and traverse the rainforest!
It’s super appealing to travelers since it is a US territory. This means you do not need a passport, English is prevalent, and they use the USD. You will be going international, but with all the familiarities of home – even the skeptics can get on board with this!
There are plenty of AirBNB options in Puerto Rico, but we chose to stay in an amazing hotel for the location and amenities. Here’s my airbnb pick for a group that has a pool and is steps from the beach! 🙌
2. Tulum, Mexico
Mexico is easily one of the best destinations for a bachelorette party at the beach! It’s easy to reach from anywhere in the US with direct or single connection flights. I suggest heading to Tulum for the incredible boho vibes and beachside cabana parties! Bonus: your pictures in Tulum will be amazing!
What I love about Tulum is how laid back it is compared to nearby Cancun. Sip margaritas beachside, take a morning yoga class, explore the ancient ruins, and take a dip in the bright blue water of the cenotes. There is so much to do in Tulum that you could easily spend a whole week here. (hint for your honeymoon 😉)
In addition, Tulum is a foodie paradise with amazing restaurants where you can stroll along the beach to dinner. They have fun jungle vibes (hello, Gitano) and are open air so you can dine under the stars!
Here’s my top two airbnb picks in Tulum – one in town center and one in the beach zone!
3. 30A Florida
I traveled to 30A Florida for my best friend’s beach bachelorette party earlier this year. I didn’t know anything about 30A until we started planning, but it was so amazing that I want to go back with my husband.
30A is a highway that runs along the gulf coast connecting tons of charming beach towns. The water is crystal clear and the sand is white – no passport required! Relax on the beach, watch amazing sunsets, golf cart everywhere, and enjoy a boat day! Here is our fabulous airbnb that everyone LOVED – the house is called “She Salty” and that really set the scene. 🌊
4. Charleston, South Carolina
I had to put my hometown on the list because it is such a great place for a girls weekend! Stay in a boutique hotel or charming airbnb in the historic district so you can walk to everything! Your group will love shopping on King Street, boozing on rooftops, spending a day on the beach, and eating their way through our amazing culinary scene.
There is something fun to do in Charleston anytime of year. Plan the bachelorette around one of our many festivals – Charleston Wine and Food would make such a fun bachelorette activity!
Here’s an adorable airbnb in a classic Charleston single house. It’s walking distance to everything!
5. Napa Valley, California (or Sonoma)
Nothing says girls weekend quite like drinking wine on a vineyard. 🍷 Napa Valley is another one of the best of the best bachelorette party destinations. Hire a driver to take your girls from one vineyard to the next like the fabulous Domaine Carneros or Artesa. You can easily spend a whole day at one vineyard if you wanted.
Base in downtown Sonoma or downtown Napa so you’ll be walking distance to shops and restaurants!
Here is my airbnb pick for the fabulous fire pit on those cooler evenings. It would be a great house for having a private chef cook for you one night!
6. Telluride, Colorado
Go beyond the typical Denver and take your group to the wonderful resort town of Telluride. Of course you can go in winter for a ski trip, but there’s plenty to do in the summertime as well! Enjoy some hiking on the Jud Wiebe Trail and chase waterfalls at the appropriately named Bridal Veil Falls!
You can take the Gondola to the top of the mountain for dinner with a view or explore the charming downtown with great restaurants, shops, and bars.
Stay at this super trendy Telluride rental property with a hot tub:
7. Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville has become a top destination for a bachelorette party in recent years. This hippie town is filled with breweries (see: Sierra Nevada and Wicked Weed), great restaurants like Curate, and easy access to national parks!
Spend the day at the Biltmore House enjoying a tour of the grounds pretending like you’re on Downton Abbey and then taste wine at their vineyards!
Or you could spend the whole weekend at the Grove Park Inn having a relaxing spa experience. This would be fun for a winter bachelorette so you could cozy up with their massive fireplaces!
8. Folly Beach, South Carolina
Another South Carolina destination, I had to include an East Coast Beach. Folly Beach is a great destination for a beach bachelorette party. It has a fun, surfer/hippie vibe and you can pretty much stay in your swimsuit allll weekend. Take a beach yoga class, book a paddle board tour or dolphin cruise, and hop around the salty beach bars!
This is the perfect spot for a more laid back weekend. I would make one day a beach day, the next a boat day, then end with a big Sunday brunch at Rita’s! I’ve got a full blog post on everything you need to know….
9. Arizona – Phoenix or Scottsdale
Arizona is one the best destinations for a bachelorette party right now. Stay in either Phoenix or popular Scottsdale. You can take a hike in the desert, eat all the tacos, and hit the town for some nightlife. There are several hotels with Vegas style pool parties or on the other end of the spectrum, relaxing spa resorts!
10. Washington, DC
Last, but certainly not least is Washington, DC. Probably one of the easiest cities to reach for many people with direct flights from about everywhere. Head to our nation’s capital for a patriotic bachelorette party.
DC has incredible restaurants, trendy hotels, and plenty of activities! Your group can bike around the monuments and the White House, catch a Nationals baseball game, and do some shopping in Georgetown!
Plan your trip around March or April to catch the stunning cherry blossoms in bloom!
Stay at my favorite hotel in Washington DC for your next trip!
Safe Travels!
A bachelorette party is all about bringing the gals together to celebrate your favorite bride-to-be! No matter where you go, you all will have an amazing time at any of these best destinations for a bachelorette party.
