Looking for the best bachelorette party destinations? It’s certainly a search that’s happening more and more often these days. According to a 2023 survey from The Knot, a whopping 92% of bridal parties plan an overnight celebration. One in five attendees will take a plane to their destination. The average attendee spends $1,300 to take part in bachelorette parties. All these stats are just a small example of a larger trend of weddings becoming marathon occasions with multiple events spread over weeks—an optimistic reading of which means there’s simply more opportunity to celebrate with your nearest and dearest.
But where to go is a daunting question, especially as every bride has a different vision of what, exactly, they want their final send-off to be. For those looking to de-stress from wedding planning, a spa weekend may be on the agenda. Others may be looking to party the night away. Then there are people who want to, well, do both.
Below, we rounded up the best bachelorette party destinations for every type of bride—along with a vacation rental in each, because the right Airbnb can set the tone for the weekend.
Home to some of the country’s best skiing in the winter, and hiking in the summer, Aspen is the perfect destination for an adventurous bachelorette party. In the colder months, have a leisurely day on the slopes, or perhaps a spa day at Hotel Jerome. Then, come late afternoon, it’s time for après ski. Try to snag a 2:30 seating at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro (open December through April), located slopeside on Aspen Highlands mountain. Trust us, it turns into quite the rowdy champagne-spraying party as the afternoon goes on. (Don’t worry, snowcats are available to those who maybe had a little too much fun at lunch.) Another fantastic option? The Snow Lodge, the snowy sister club to Montauk’s The Surf Lodge. In partnership with local music venue Belly Up, they bring the hottest musical acts to the base of Ajax Mountain during winter weekends. Last year, they also teamed up with one of the official best bars in the world, Dante, for their cozy, Bob Melet-designed restaurant. And don’t forget the Little Nell, the most famous post-ski spot in town. Want to go late into the night? Get a table at The Sterling, Aspen’s main nightclub…or catch a concert at Belly Up.
Summertime may not have après options, but is still buzzing: go to the annual Aspen Food Wine Classic, which brings together the top chefs and wineries in the country. —Elise Taylor
With room for up to 12 guests spread across 12 acres of land, this stunning home offers unobstructed views of the Elk Mountain Range. It’s just over 30 minutes from the heart of Aspen, and has all the amenities you could need for a luxe girls’ weekend: a hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna will have your group feeling well-rested.
For the party seeking a nature-infused bachelorette weekend, Moab is a top contender. This charming town is not far from Utah’s breathtaking national parks but is also a gem on its own merit. For a more catered-to hospitality stay, Sorrel River Ranch offers an array of custom-built cabins, from cozy six-person suites to a sprawling ranch house estate. The surreal desert landscape and hiking trails provide the backdrop for a myriad of outdoor activities, including kayaking, rock climbing, moonlit walks, and stargazing at nightfall. —Boutayna Chokrane
This cozy, cabin-style home sleeps ten and has everything you need for a stay near the parks. There’s a chef-grade kitchen for whipping up meals as a group, a hot tub outside, and even a telescope for star-gazing.
If you’re searching for an escape from the digital realm, Sedona beckons. Conquer Cathedral Rock Trail with a guided hike, ascending 700 feet to the majestic Cathedral Rock. Embark on an adrenaline-packed Pink Jeep off-road tour, or a peaceful horseback ride through Verde Valley’s wine country. Whether it’s at sunrise or sunset, arrange a group yoga session outdoors. Pamper yourself with the Amara Resort and Spa’s girlfriend getaway package, which includes spa credits, daily breakfast, and a bottle of prosecco at arrival. —B.C.
For your own space, splurge on a lavish Airbnb–like this five-acre villa boasting two fire pits, a pool, a rose garden, a waterfall, and a koi pond. Desert views abound from nearly every vantage point, for true escapism.
If you search “party island” on Google, Ibiza is the first result—thanks to its 24/7 nightclubs which regularly attract world-class DJs (DC10 is a must) as well as buzzing beach clubs like Jondal. But it is also a wonderful wellness and historical destination: The Six Senses has made a name for itself as one of the top spa hotels in the world, there are yoga retreats aplenty, and many of the towns that dot the island are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Simply put: you can, yes, rage. But you can also relax. Make a Sunday reservation at the buzzy Beachouse, and detox a day later at the beloved vegan restaurant Wild Beets. —E.T.
Prefer some privacy? You get this five-bedroom villa all to yourself. It’s comprised of a main house and a guest house, with beautiful original features like stone walls and wood beams running throughout both, as well as a sparkling outdoor pool situated next to a dining area.
A classic bachelorette party destination for a reason, Las Vegas is the ultimate city to get up to no good. Our favorite agenda? A stay at the Wynn or Encore, with a dinner at their supper club Delilah. Then, tickets to an entertaining show— anything from Cirque du Soleil or Spiegelworld is usually a good bet, as is Dita Von Teese’s Burlesque Show. End your night at the casino of your choice…where you may or may not play some some slot machines. We won’t tell. —E.T.
Skip the neon-lit hotels in favor of some peace a little farther out (though still within easy distance to all the major sights). This luxury villa is huge—it can sleep over 16 people—and has all the comforts of a resort: shaded cabanas for lounging, a heated pool and spa, and a daily breakfast you can opt in to.
With its famous beer halls, multi-story nightclubs (like Karlovy Lazne), and even a beer spa, Prague is a dream destination for bachelorette parties. Thanks to the city’s affordability, you can enjoy upscale accommodations, bar hop in Old Town, cruise the Vltava River on a party boat, and dine in the midst of Prague’s exquisite architecture–all without breaking the bank. —B.C.
This apartment dates back to 1849, and for the bride who appreciates historic charm, it can’t be beat. It’s located in the city’s first Art Nouveau building, within walking distance to all the top attractions—and, best of all, has enough room for ten guests, so larger bachelorette groups are welcome.
Have a friend that gags at the thought of “Bride Tribe” tank tops or hot pink sashes? Choose a chic, urban locale like Los Angeles, a city where you can have a bachelorette, but there’s no industry built around them. Get a poolside cabana WeHo rooftop hotel, or perhaps rent a boat for a day in Marina del Rey. Head to a scene-y hotspot for lunch or dinner (Nobu Malibu, The Polo Lounge, and Elephante come to mind), and indulge in a little celeb-sighting. But don’t go up and say hi—your friend would be mortified. For late—and over-the-top night—book your group a table at Delilah. The next morning, work up a sweat by hiking in Will Rogers State Park.
Looking for some culture? Visit the LACMA, or make an appointment to see the Stahl House, which boasts the best views of the city. —E.T.
This little pastel home is basically a grown-up Barbie dream house. Located in Atwater Village, you’ll be near enough to restaurants and shops but still feel tucked away in your own personal desert oasis when you’re home—it’s a quiet, peaceful retreat from the city.
San Juan is the perfect backdrop for a low-key but lively bachelorette bash. Explore historic landmarks, savor local flavors, and salsa dance the night away. Our San Juan’s insider’s guide offers an authentic Puerto Rican experience, ensuring an unforgettable celebration that leans into the city’s cultural richness. No notes. —B.C.
With room for 12, this property in Mata de Plátano was designed by a Balinese firm—expect similar style references throughout the two houses. Inside, a boho-brutalist aesthetic is a major plus for the style-focused bride; outside, pools with sun loungers are great for relaxing after a night out.
Want a trip centered around rest and relaxation? Head to the Berkshires, which is home to two top wellness retreats: Canyon Ranch and Miraval. Both properties are equipped with luxurious lodgings, world-class spas, as well as expansive indoor and outdoor fitness offerings. With so many options, each stay is essentially a choose-your-own-adventure. (The Miraval also has a ropes course, if your bridal party is in need of some bonding.)
Plus, you can sign up for all-inclusive packages—meaning there’s no need to keep an Excel spreadsheet of who-needs-to-Venmo-what. Or, if you’d rather rent an Airbnb nearby, each property offers a day pass. Another added bonus? The Berkshires are within driving distance of both New York and Boston. —E.T.
Perched on Lake Garfield, you get the best of New England living with this rental: A large deck equipped with a grill, a ping pong table and corn hole set, and lake and mountain views competing for top prize. It can sleep up to 12, and comes with a 24/7 concierge service for accommodating last-minute requests.
Want a blowout beach bachelorette? Lucky you: St. Barths, the Caribbean island known for its high-end beach clubs and lively nightlife, is an option. Rent a villa—through Wimco or Le Collectionist or, of course, Airbnb—and book lunch tables at Gyp Sea, Nikki Beach, Shellona, and Petit Plague. For dinner, Le Ti is the place to get rowdy (and, as the night gets later, they also have costumes you can get dressed up in). —E.T.
If you’ve bookmarked a weeklong trip, this spot in St. Jean is perfectly equipped for longer stays. The beach is within walking distance—but if you feel like venturing, there’s a pool and massive terrace for laying out. Book a chef for dinner one night and be sure to take advantage of a host of other concierge services offered, including boat trips and hard-to-snag restaurant reservations.
Is a boozy, delicious dinner more your style than a nightclub with house music? Would you prefer to get tipsy on rosé in a cabana rather than pay for bottle service at a jam-packed pool party? Are you looking for something that’s low-key, but still, well, a lot of fun?
Our recommendation: Palm Springs. Rent a delightful mid-century abode through Airbnb, and spend your day enjoying the warmth of the desert sun with a cocktail in hand, or grab brunch at Norma’s before spending the day at The Parker. Come nightfall, down margaritas at Las Casuelas, or order some pizza at Birba. Then, hit the bars that line Palm Canyon for a nightcap. —E.T.
This luxury (and definitely unique) accommodation is one you’ll remember for years. It’s spread out on a one-acre lot in the desert, with the mountains in the backdrop and fun features like a pool and a pickleball court in the foreground. Inside, a mezzanine area has dedicated space for yoga and meditation, if you want to kick off a packed schedule with some morning zen.
Savannah, a cherished bachelorette destination, also offers a serene escape for those seeking a quiet celebration. Find your sanctuary at The Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront or at the intimate Hamilton-Turner Inn. Begin your day with brunch at B. Matthew’s Eatery, then set out to explore the charming cobblestone streets and boutiques of Broughton Street. Dine at The Grey or The Olde Pink House before heading to Savannah Tequila Company for tequila and late-night tacos. You’ll thank me later. —B.C.
For a large group, book this five-bedroom historic home right in the heart of the city. It’s full of charming architectural features, as well as a few outdoor spaces scattered throughout for morning coffees and pre-dinner drinks at home.
Sometimes you wanna drink at your bachelorette, but not drink drink. And get dressed up—not in crop-tops, but in a midi sundress or a sweater. Also, good food. Enter Napa Valley: our country’s most famous foodie destination, where Michelin starred restaurants sit among rolling (and award winning) vineyards. “You don’t come to Napa Valley to be the first. The region has been well-established for about as long as wine has been commercially produced in California. What you come here for is just about everything else—farm-to-table cuisine, prestigious wines, historic hot springs, and design-driven hotels," Vogue contributor Nicole Kliest writes in her guide to the region, which features an extensive breakdown of where to eat and drink. A house rental is likely your best bet for a large group. However, if you are working with a generous budget: Stanly Ranch is one of our favorite hotels in the region.
Situated in Sonoma just 20 minutes out from the heart of Napa, this country home sleeps up to 10 guests. It has a heated pool, spa, and even a bocce ball court—you’ll have plenty of things to do in your downtime between wineries.
