Ah, the Ultimate Girls Trip. The one thing we look forward to more than our monthly chocolate binge is the only thing that can make us give up our favorite pair of sweatpants (for a few days, at least). Buckle up if you and your gals are tired of the same old beach trips or city getaways because we have a treat for you. We’ve uncovered the best exotic and slightly erotic destinations for Ultimate Girls Trip that you and your gang won’t stop discussing for years.
We all need a touch of Bali magic now and then. Especially if that magic comes with deep tissue massage, coconut drinks, and semi-naked sunbathing (suns out, buns out, am I right?), imagine a day of pampering, followed by evening laughs with your girls. Heaven is indeed a place on earth, probably in Bali. First, start your time in Bali with a day of healing, then move into all-day spa treatments before heading to succumb to the Balinese sun.
Bonus Tip: Ladies, remember to pack light. And by light, I mean three bikinis for each day.
Have you ever fancied channeling your inner Dita Von Teese or looking incredibly sultry while attempting a high kick in a feathered hat? Well, Paris is your destination! Numerous classes offer a chance to learn the seductive art of burlesque. So, strut your stuff on the Parisian streets and let those croissants know you’ve arrived. Or, if you prefer to just watch, grab your drinks and take in a burlesque show to see how it’s done 😉
Sidenote: Warning: Do not attempt burlesque dancing atop the Eiffel Tower. The French are protective of their landmark. Who knew?
Who can resist the allure of sailing in the deep blue with a margarita in hand? Especially if that sailing involves zero effort and mainly consists of you lying down while someone else handles the ropes. Dive into the azure waters, explore underwater wonders, and then sail into the sunset, cackling with your girls.
Hint: After three margaritas, every song is “your song.” Dance accordingly.
Ibiza isn’t just for the 20-something crowd. We’ve found that it’s way more fun when you’ve had a couple of decades to perfect your dance moves. Imagine beach parties that start at sunset and don’t end until the next one. And wait to get me started on the Spanish lifeguards. It’s like Baywatch but with way better accents. Hop on a boat for a 3-hour all-inclusive tour. Let’s just say it’s time to get the party started!
It’s Time: Why did the girl go to Ibiza? To give the sun a little competition! (With her dazzling beauty, of course.)
If you’re brave enough, wear those dancing shoes or stilettos and head to Argentina. Learn the seductive dance of tango in its birthplace. By nightfall, you’ll be twirling in the streets, making the locals wonder if you’re the next big thing in dance. So, whether you’re dancing or just going to watch the show, the tango will teach you a few things about life.
Just an Observation: Remember, a tango class is a valid reason to buy yet another pair of shoes. Just saying.
Ah, the irony of a hot spring in the cold mountains. Banff, in Canada, is an exotic location that allows you to soak in natural hot springs with the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian Rockies. Put on that sexy swimsuit you’ve been saving for a special occasion, and get ready for some chill (or relatively warm) time!
Alert: If you’re wondering whether wearing a bikini in sub-zero temperatures is appropriate, the answer is yes. Frostbite is temporary; Instagram photos are forever.
How about getting a little spicy with your girls? From vibrant markets to aromatic cooking classes, Morocco offers the exotic we watch in movies but rarely experience. Throw in camel rides in the desert and dancing under the stars, and you’ve got a plot for the next chick flick!
Word: Don’t be offended if a camel gives you the stink eye. They’re just jealous they can’t pull off your fabulous headscarf.
New Orleans is a treasure trove of culture and fun, the birthplace of jazz, Mardi Gras, and some of the best gumbo you’ll ever taste. By day, explore the city’s historic architecture and take a steamboat down the Mississippi. By night, hit the jazz clubs and unleash your inner diva.
Zinger: You last lived when you’ve had a saxophonist serenade you while demolishing a plate of beignets. Diet, what diet?
Ever wanted to learn to hula dance in a grass skirt while someone inexplicably handsome plays the ukulele? Maui is your spot. The island offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Surf the waves, dance the night away at a luau, snorkel among colorful fish, or lie on the beach and watch the hunks pass.
Snippet: Hula dancing is much like twerking, just a lot slower and way more graceful. And you can do it without pulling a muscle. Usually.
An Ultimate Girls Trip is complete with belting out some tunes, am I right? You can take your karaoke game to the next level in Tokyo with dedicated karaoke skyscrapers. That’s right, multiple floors of karaoke goodness. You can also check out some of Tokyo’s more “adult-oriented” manga shops for cheeky humor.
Highlight: Remember, the higher you go up the karaoke skyscraper, the harder it is for people on the ground to hear you butcher the high notes.
Of course, any of the Ultimate Girls Trip needs some basics. Here’s what not to forget:
So, how do you pick from this bouquet of fabulous destinations? Simple. Take a dart, pin the options on a board, blindfold yourself, and let fate decide. Or pick the one that’s easiest to get to. Either way, you’re in for a great time.
There you have it, a jam-packed list of exotic and exciting Ultimate Girls Trip ideas. Whether you’re belting out tunes in Tokyo or flaunting your newly acquired tango skills in Buenos Aires, these adventures will strengthen your Instagram pop and your friendships.
So, what are you waiting for? Message the girls, book the flights, and get ready for the trip of a lifetime. With these options, the only real question left is: Will one trip be enough? You already know my answer to that 😉 But no matter your answer, always remember to Travel Till You Drop!
A1: It’s a magical thing where bonding, relaxation, and creating unforgettable memories with friends take center stage. Forget the stress of work or the responsibilities of everyday life. This is your chance to let loose, laugh until your sides hurt, and maybe even do a few things you’ll never speak of again. Girls’ trips often involve activities and destinations that cater to the interests and preferences of a group of fabulous female travelers. It’s all about doing what you love with the friends you adore.
A2: When it comes to girls’ trip destinations, the world is your oyster! Picture yourself sipping fruity cocktails on a Balinese beach, dancing the night away in the vibrant streets of New York, or getting pampered in a luxurious spa resort in Tuscany. If you’re craving some adventure, why not head to Costa Rica for a wellness retreat? Believe me, ladies, there’s a destination for every type of girl gang.
A3: Girls’ trips are all about taking the time to indulge in the things you love and creating unforgettable experiences with your gal pals. Picture yourself enjoying blissful spa days, soaking up the sun on dreamy beaches, shopping ’til you drop in trendy boutiques, honing your culinary skills with cooking classes, sipping on exquisite wines during tasting tours, and even getting your adrenaline pumping with some adventure sports. And don’t forget to immerse yourselves in the local culture by attending shows or festivals, because who doesn’t love a good party, right?
A4: Let’s be real, girls. The adventures of the fabulous female traveler don’t always have to break the bank. If you’re looking to plan a budget-friendly trip, start by choosing destinations with affordable accommodation options and dining that won’t cost you a kidney. Look out for package deals and group discounts to save some serious cash. And when it comes to activities, be mindful of your fellow travel buddies’ budgets and plan accordingly. Remember, a girls’ trip is about having fun together, not about who can splurge the most.
A5: Ladies, it’s time to level up your girls’ trip game and add a splash of uniqueness and adventure to the mix. How about immersing yourselves in a wellness retreat, where you can find your zen and rejuvenate both body and soul? Or indulge your taste buds on a food and wine tour, exploring the flavors of new cuisines and sipping on exquisite wines. If you’re craving sandy shores and beach parties, a beach escape is just what the doctor ordered. And for the culturally curious, a trip that immerses you in the local arts and traditions is sure to leave you feeling inspired.
A6: Ah, the delicate art of compromise. When it comes to planning a girls’ trip, it’s all about finding that sweet spot where everyone’s preferences are taken into account. Begin by having an open and honest conversation with your gal pals about their interests and ideas. Create an itinerary with a mix of activities that allow everyone to contribute and enjoy. Remember, flexibility is key to accommodating various tastes, so be ready to compromise and go with the flow. The best memories are made when everyone feels included and excited about the adventure ahead.
A7: Safety first, ladies! While general travel safety applies to everyone, there are definitely a few extra precautions we badass solo female travelers should take. Stick together and look out for each other, because there’s strength in numbers. Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Avoid risky situations and, hey, let’s not forget to share emergency contact information with each other. Opt for well-reviewed accommodations, because we deserve nothing but the best. And always have a plan for communication, so you can keep the good times rolling without worrying about a thing.
A8: Ladies, let’s talk essentials. When packing for a girls’ trip, you want to be prepared for every fabulous moment that comes your way. Comfortable clothing? Check. Versatile accessories? Check. Sunscreen to protect that flawless complexion? Absolutely! Don’t forget your trusty camera to capture all those insta-worthy moments, and travel-sized toiletries to keep you feeling fresh on the go. And of course, pack any specific items related to your planned activities. Whether it’s swimwear for beach days, hiking gear for an adventure in the great outdoors, or some killer formal wear for those special events, make sure you’ve got it all.
A9: Girls’ trip, meet the wonders of technology! There are some seriously useful travel apps out there that can make your adventure even more amazing. Get yourself an itinerary planner to keep all those exciting plans in order. A budget tracker will help you keep tabs on those spending habits (we all need a little reality check sometimes). And let’s not forget about language translation apps, because communication is key, especially when you’re flirting with the local hotties. Finally, collaborative platforms like TripIt, Splitwise, and Google Docs are perfect for organizing shared planning and expenses.
Use Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. This is my very first stop when I’m looking for my next trip. It’s a fast, easy-to-use search engine that is perfect for finding an affordable flight, a perfect hotel, and the right rental car for you in locations around the globe.
If you are looking for a super budget friendly location and are open to a hostel stay, make sure you book your hostel with Hostelworld. It offers the broadest range of quality hostels around the world.

For stays over 28 days, AirBnB still remains my #1 choice. User reviews and monthly pricing allow for some incredible deals all around the world.
Travel insurance is but a small up-front investment that you won’t want to leave home without. After just one experience of having to delay or cancel your trip or having your luggage stolen, you’ll wish you would have made that investment.

Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation — all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to getting free flights to get started.
