A girls-only weekend can be a breath of fresh air and lets you and your girlfriends unwind, relax and laugh together. Make memories during a fun weekend away while you're temporarily free from the pressures of everyday life. A weekend away means you can get rid of all thoughts of work and daily responsibilities and simply prepare to have fun with your closest friends.
If you and your friends like to hit the slopes--either skiing or snowboarding--then head to the nearest snowy mountain. Rent a cabin, house or condo for the weekend and prepare to soak your sore muscles in the hot tub after an exhilarating day on the trails. If you have different interests, some of you can shop during the day while the others ski, and you can meet up again at night to cook dinner together, enjoy cocktails by the fire, play board games and chat.
A spa weekend is perfect for those who require a peaceful, restorative weekend away. According to the Travel Channel, wellness retreats are growing in popularity as more and more people are craving quiet time. Many spas offer weekend packages that include healthy food and on-site accommodations. Enjoy your friends' company as you treat yourselves to facials, pedicures and massages.
Find a local vineyard and prepare to sample all it has to offer. If you're lucky, you may even have an entire wine trail to explore in your area. Tasting wine with friends will help you to relax and maybe you'll even find a new favorite to bring home. Just make sure to bring a designated driver or hire a taxi or limousine if you plan to take an extended wine tour.
Whether you want to head to Las Vegas or stick to a local casino, if you're looking for a more exciting time will enjoy this type of getaway. Get a hotel room and be prepared to stay out until all hours. See a show, eat a nice dinner together and hit the slot machines or the blackjack tables. You may decide you want to go all out for this occasion and dress up, or you can keep it casual and comfortable.
Rent a cottage on the beach and bring food, wine and games. Soak up the sun and read a good book with your toes in the sand during the day. Fire up the grill at night while you take in the sunsets and ocean breezes--or if you prefer you can all head out to dinner and enjoy the local seafood and nightlife.
